Roaming on OtherDigital 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, depending on the available network.
Note:
If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint National Network and enter an area where roaming is available , your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think Sprint service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint National Network.
