Alerting Yourself to Roaming

Your phone has three ways of alerting you when you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network: the on screen roaming icon, a special ringer you can set for calls you receive when roaming, and Call Guard.

Using the Roam Ringer

The Roam Ringer feature allows you to set your phone to use a distinct ringer when you receive calls while roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.

To set the Roam Ringer:

1.Press O> Settings/Tools > Settings > Sounds > Ringer Type > Roam Ringer.

2.Highlight Distinct to give your incoming roaming calls a distinct ringer. Highlight Normal to give incoming roaming calls a ringer that is not distinct from the calls you receive when you are on the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.

3.Press O.

Using Call Guard

Call Guard makes it easy to manage your roaming charges by requiring an extra step before you can place or answer a roaming call. (This additional step is not required when you make or receive calls while on the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.)

To turn Call Guard on or off:

1.Press O> Settings/Tools > Settings > Roaming > Call Guard.

2.Highlight On or Off and press O.
