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 Ready Link, will be unavailable,
you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are
accustomed to network service, you may notice some of the following
differences when using analog service:
䢇 You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and
dropped calls.
䢇
Some features which are standard on the network provided to
you, such as call waiting, Sprint PCS Vision, Ready Link, and direct
international dialing, may not be available.
䢇
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are
roaming, you may not receive notification until you return to your
home network. (See “Checking for Voicemail Messages While
Roaming” on page 68).
䢇 There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning)
that exist with conventional analog services today.
䢇
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 network provided to you 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 network service is available,
turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the network provided to you.
Note:
When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This is
normal for analog operation.
