international dialing, are unavailable.

analog roaming.

If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint 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 Sprint PCS
Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network.
