Roaming on Analogue Networks

When you roam on analogue networks, you will experience a similar quality provided by other analogue carriers today. Although some features, such as Web, 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, cross-talk, fade-out, and dropped calls.

Some features which are standard on the home network, such as call waiting, direct international dialling, are unavailable.

Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming, you may not receive notification until you return to the home network.

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

Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for analogue roaming.

Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the home network and enter an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analogue), your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the home network.

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