Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Nationwide PCS Network.
Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon.
Tip
: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Nationwide PCS Network, always dial
numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Note
: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on other digital networks, your call quality and security will be similar to
the quality you receive when making calls while on the Nationwide PCS Network. You may not
be able to access certain calling features.
Note
: If you’re on a call when you leave the 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 PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to
the Nationwide PCS Network.

you can determine which signals your phone accepts.

charges by requiring an extra step before you can place or answer a roaming call
