Understanding Roaming

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard
oaming is the ability to make or receive calls while you’re off the 
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new dual band/tri-mode PCS 
Phone works anywhere on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and allows 
you to roam on analog and digital networks virtually anywhere in the U.S. 
where compatible wireless service is available. 
This section explains how roaming works as well as special features that let 
you manage your roaming experience.

Understanding Roaming
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the 
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and roaming. The following chart 
indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide 
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 Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on other digital networks, your call quality and 
security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls 
while on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may not be able to 
access certain calling features, such as PCS Vision.
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 calling features which are standard on the enhanced Sprint 
Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, PCS Vision Products 
and Services 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 should 
periodically check your voicemail box 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’re 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.
