Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when
you’re off the Sprint National Network. Any time you are
roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ).
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality
and security will be similar to the quality you receive when
making calls on the Sprint National Network. However, you
may not be able to access certain features, depending on the
available network.
Note
If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint National
Network, 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.
Note
Unless your Pivot service plan includes roaming, you will
pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Tip
Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint
National Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits
(1 + area code + number).
