Roaming
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls and access data services when you’re off the
Nationwide Sprint Network.
Roaming Icon
Your display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Nationwide Sprint Network. Anytime
you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon (
).
Roaming on Other Networks
When you’re roaming on other networks, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality
you receive when making calls on the Nationwide Sprint Network. However, you may not be able to
access certain features, such as data services, depending on the available network.
Note:
If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide Sprint Network, your call is dropped. If your
call is dropped in an area where you think Sprint service is available, turn your phone off and on
again to reconnect to the network.
Check for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network, you may not receive on-phone
notification of new voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you will need to
periodically check your voicemail for new messages if you are in a roaming service area for an
extended period of time.
1. Dial your area code + your phone number.
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, touch

3. Enter your password at the prompt and follow the voice prompts.
When you return to the Nationwide Sprint Network, voicemail notification will resume as normal.

Your phone allows you to control your roaming capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you
can determine which signals your phone accepts. Choose from different settings on your phone to
control your roaming experience.
