Understanding Roaming

RecognizingtheRoamingIconontheDisplayScreen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ).

Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Nationwide SprintPCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits

(1 + area code + number).

Note: Unless your SprintPCS service plan includes roaming, you will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

RoamingonOtherDigitalNetworks

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

Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide SprintPCS Network and enter an area where roaming is available, your call is dropped. If your call isdroppedinanareawhereyouthinkSprintPCSServiceisavailable,turnyour phoneoffandonagaintoreconnecttotheNationwideSprintPCSNetwork.
