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 roaming. The following chart indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.

Other Digital Networks

Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).

Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

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

Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some calling features, such as PCS Vision, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. You will experience a few differences:

▶You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out and dropped calls.

▶Some calling features which are standard on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, PCS Vision Products and Services and direct international dialing, are unavailable.
