Using Data Roam Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the Sprint National Network. Your new digital dual-band M520 by Samsung works anywhere on the Sprint National Network and allows you to roam on other 1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where roaming agreements have been implemented. This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let you manage your roaming experience.

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

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 Power Vision, depending on the available network.
