Understanding Roaming
RecognizingtheRoamingIconontheDisplayScreen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Sprint National Network. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ().
Tip
Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint National Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
RoamingonOtherDigitalNetworks
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls on the Sprint National Network. However, you may not be able to access certain features, such as Sprint Vision, depending on the available network.
Note
If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint National Network, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think Sprint service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the network.
