Understanding How Roaming Works

Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone's display screen always lets you know when you're off the
Sprint PCS Network and whether your phone is operating in analog or
digital mode. The following chart indicates what you'll see depending on
where you're using your phone.
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network
Other Networks
Analog Networks
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.
Roaming on Other Networks
When you're roaming on other networks, your call quality and security
will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls while on the
Sprint PCS Network. You may not be able to access certain calling
features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless Web.
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 Sprint PCS Wireless Web, may be unavailable, you can
still make and receive calls. You will experience a few differences
including:
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out and
dropped calls.
Some calling features which are standard on the Sprint PCS Network,
such as Call Waiting, Sprint PCS Wireless Web and direct
international dialing, are unavailable.
