82 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the
home network. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming
icon (
).
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality and security will
be similar to the quality you receive when making calls on the home
network. However, you may not be able to access certain features, such as
Sprint PCS Vision or Sprint Power Vision.
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the home network,
always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Note: You may pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the home network, your call is
dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think network
service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to
the home network.
