Understanding Roaming

RecognizingtheRoamingIconontheDisplay Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Sprint National Network. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ().

Tip

Remember, when you are using your phone off the

 

Sprint National Network, always dial numbers using

 

11 digits (1 + area code + number).

 

 

 

 

Note

Unless your service plan includes roaming, you will

 

pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

 

 

RoamingonOtherDigitalNetworks

When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls on the Sprint National Network. However, you may not be able to access certain features, such as the browser or Messaging.
