Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some features, such as Sprint PCS Vision, Sprint PCS Ready Link, and Sprint PCS Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are accustomed to Sprint PCS Service, you may notice some of the following differences when using analog service:

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

Some features which are standard on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, Sprint PCS Vision, Sprint PCS Ready Link, and direct international dialing, may not be available.

Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming, you may not receive notification until you return to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. (See “Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on the next page.)

There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.

Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you will need to recharge it more often when you use your phone for analog roaming.

Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and enter an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think Sprint PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.

Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This is normal for analog operation.
