Understanding How Roaming Works
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen lets you know when you’re off the
Sprint PCS Network and whether your phone is operating in
analog cellular or digital mode. The following chart indicates
what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.
Note:
You may pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming
calls.
Roaming on Other PCS CDMA Networks
Tip:
If you’re on a call when
you leave the Sprint PCS
Network and enter an
area where roaming is
available (whether CDMA
or analog cellular), 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.
When you’re roaming on other PCS CDMA networks, your call
quality will be similar to the quality you receive when making
calls while on the Sprint PCS Network. You may not be able to
access certain calling features, such as the Sprint PCS Wireless
Web; however, all of your calls are still private and secure.
Roaming on Analog Cellular Networks
When you roam on analog cellular networks, you will
experience the same quality provided by analog cellular
carriers today. Although some features, such as
Sprint PCS Wireless Web, may be unavailable, you can still
make and receive calls. You will experience a few differences
including:
