Understanding Roaming

Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display

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 ( ).

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

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.
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.
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint National
Network, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area
where you think Sprint service is available, turn your phone
off and on again to reconnect to the network.
