Understanding Roaming

Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone's display screen always lets you know when you're off the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and roaming. The following chart
indicates what you'll see depending on where you're using your phone.
Sprint Nationwide PCS
Network
Other Digital Networks
Analog Networks
Tip:
Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code +
number).
Note:
You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you're roaming on other digital networks, your call quality and
security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls
while on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may not be able to
access certain calling features, such as PCS Vision.
Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar
quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some calling
features, such as PCS Vision, will be unavailable, you can still make and
receive calls and access voicemail. You will experience a few differences:
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out and
dropped calls.
