Roaming Guards

Your device has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network: the onscreen roaming icon and Roaming Guards. Roaming Guards make it easy to manage your roaming by requiring an extra step before you can place or answer a roaming call, connect to data services, or send an outgoing text message. (This additional step is not required when you make or receive calls while on the Nationwide Sprint Network.)

You can set the Roaming Guards to separately monitor your voice, data, and outgoing text messages when you’re roaming within or outside the United States.
