Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a
similar quality provided by other analog carriers today.
Although some features, such as Sprint PCS Vision and
Sprint PCS Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can still
make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are
accustomed to Sprint PCS Service, you may notice some of
the following differences when using analog service:
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,
v
fade-out, and dropped calls.
Some features that are standard on the enhanced
v
Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, such as call waiting,
Sprint PCS Vision, and direct international dialing,
are unavailable.
Although callers can leave voicemail messages while you
v
are roaming, you will not receive notification until you
return to the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network.
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
v
cloning) that are inherant to conventional analog
services today.
Your battery's charge will deplete more quickly and you
v
will need to recharge it more often when you use your
phone for analog roaming.
Note:
When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel
warm. This is normal for analog operation.
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS
Network, you will not receive on-phone notification of new
voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you
will need to periodically check your voicemail for new
messages if you are in a roaming service area for an extended
period of time.
