Using Data Roam Guard

Depending on service availability and roaming agreements, your phone may be able to access data services while roaming on certain digital systems. You can set your phone to alert you when you are roaming off the Sprint National Network and try to use data services such as messaging.

Note

Data Roam Guard is turned off by default for

 

domestic calls on your phone. (However, you will

 

have to take an extra step for international calls.)

1.While in standby mode, select Main Menu > Settings > More... > Roaming > Data Roaming.

2.Select an option and press .
