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 and Sprint PCS Voice Command, 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 features which are standard on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, Sprint PCS Vision, and direct international dialing, are unavailable.

Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While roaming, you can periodically check your voicemail for new messages by dialing

1+area code+your Sprint PCS Phone Number. Press when you hear your greeting then enter your pass code at the prompt.

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

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

Note:

If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network then 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 handset may feel warm. This behavior is normal for analog operation.
