Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience
a similar quality provided by other analog carriers today.
Although some features may be unavailable, you can still
make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are
accustomed to network service, you may notice some of
the following differences when using analog service:
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,
fade-out, and dropped calls.
Some features which are standard on the network
available to you, such as call waiting and direct
international dialing, may be unavailable.
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while
you are roaming, you may not receive notification until
you return to the network available to you.
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.
Your battery's charge will deplete more quickly and
you will need to recharge it more often when you use
your phone for analog roaming.
Note:
When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel
warm. This is normal for analog operation.
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the network available to you, you
may not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail
messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you will need
to periodically check your voicemail for new messages if you
are in a roaming service area for an extended period of time.
To check your voicemail while roaming:
1. Dial 1+area code+your wireless phone number.
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press
