Understanding Roaming

Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and whether your phone is operating in analog or digital mode. The following chart indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.

Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network (in CDMA mode), always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number). For more information, see page 177.

Note: Unless your Service Plan includes roaming, you will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Roaming on Other CDMA Digital Networks

When you’re roaming on digital networks in CDMA mode, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. However, you may not be able to access certain features, such as Sprint PCS Vision.
