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.
Some features which are standard on the enhanced Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, PCS Vision,
and direct international dialing, are unavailable.
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are
roaming, you will not receive notification until you return
to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While roaming, you
can periodically check your voicemail for new messages by
dialing 1+area code+your PCS Phone Number. Press
when you hear your greeting and enter your pass code at
the prompt.
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.
Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your
phone for analog roaming.
Note:
If you are on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network and enter an area where roaming is available (whether
digital or analog), your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area
where you think PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again
to reconnect to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.
Note:
When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel warm.
This behavior is normal for analog operation.
