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 +
phone number).
Note:
You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls, unless your
PCS Service Plan includes roaming.
Roaming on Digital 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 enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.
When roaming on digital networks, the "R" icon is displayed on the
status bar in standby mode, and the text Digital Roam appears on the
display screen.
Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar
quality provided by other analog carriers today. 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.
