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 Sprint PCS Vision and Sprint PCS Voice Command,
will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access
voicemail. If you are accustomed to Sprint PCS 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 enhanced
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, such as Call Waiting,
Sprint PCS Vision, and direct international dialing, are
unavailable.
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are
roaming, you may not receive notification until you return to the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. (See “Checking for Voicemail
Messages While Roaming” on page 62.)
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:
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 service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect
to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.
When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This
is normal for analog operation.
