Tip:
Remember, when you’re using your phone off the Sprint PCS Network,
always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number.)
Note:

quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some calling
features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless Web, may be unavailable, you can
still make and receive calls. You will experience a few differences
