Choosing a Roaming Mode
On the Phone: Roaming screen, you can enable or disable roaming by choosing one of the
following modes:
ⅷ Sprint Only to prevent roaming on other networks.
ⅷ Automatic to seek service on the Nationwide Sprint Network. When Sprint service is unavailable, your
device searches for an alternate system.
Using Call Guard
Your device has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network: the
onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to manage your roaming by requiring an
extra step before you can place or answer a roaming call. (This additional step is not required when you
make or receive calls while on the Nationwide Sprint Network)
To turn Call Guard on or off:
ᮣ On the Phone: Roaming screen, select On or Off.
To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:
1. Press the Talk key to display the Phone screen.
2. Enter 1, the area code, and then the seven-digit number. After entering the number, press the Tal k key.
3. A pop-up message then appears, informing you that roaming rates will apply. Tap Dismiss to close
the message, and then tap 1 to place the call.
To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:
ᮣ When you have an incoming roaming call, tap Answer if you want to accept the roaming call.
Note
• Call Guard is turned off by default on your phone.
• Automatic speed recognition (ASR) and speed dialing are not available when you are roaming with Call Guard
enabled.
Note
If the Call Guard feature is set to On, you may need to take extra steps to make and receive roaming calls.
