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 PCS Vision and PCS Voice Command, will be
unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail.
You will experience a few differences:
ᮣ
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and
dropped calls.
ᮣ
Some features which are standard on the enhanced
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting,
PCS Vision, and direct international dialing, are unavailable.
ᮣ
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are
roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While roaming, you can
periodically check your voicemail for new messages by dialing
1+area code+your PCS Phone Number. Press when you hear
your greeting and enter your pass code at the prompt.
ᮣ
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning)
that exist with conventional analog services today.
ᮣ
Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone
for analog roaming.
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint 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 Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network.
Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel warm.
This behavior is normal for analog operation.
