Roaming

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone's display screen always lets you know when you're off the network. The
following chart indicates what you'll see depending on where you're using your
phone.
Network
Other Digital Networks
Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you're roaming, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality
you receive when making calls on your home network. However, you might not be
able to access certain features, such as web services.
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, such as Wireless Web and
Voice Command 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 network, such as call waiting,
web, and direct international dialing are unavailable.
•
Although callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming, you
will not receive notification until you return to the network. While roaming,
you can periodically check your voicemail for new messages by dialing
1+area code+your phone number. Press
and enter your passcode 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 in analog
mode, whether in the network or roaming.
