⬤Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. (See “Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming”on page 74.)

⬤There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.

⬤Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you will need to recharge it more often when you use your phone for analog roaming.
