Tip:
Remember, when you are
using your phone off the
Sprint PCS Network,
always dial numbers
using 11 digits (1 + area
code + number).
Note:
You will pay a higher per-
minute rate for roaming
calls.
Tip:
If you are on a call when
you leave the Sprint PCS
Network and enter an
area where roaming is
available (whether CDMA

call is dropped. If your call
is dropped in an area
where you think
Sprint PCS Service is
available, turn your phone
off and then on again to
reconnect to the
Sprint PCS Nationwide
Network.
