68 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re
off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Any time you are
roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If you are
roaming on an analog system, the roaming icon will display
along with the text “Analog Roam.”
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 Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. However,
you may not be able to access certain features, such as
Sprint PCS Vision.
Tip:
Remember, when you are using your phone off the
Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, always dial numbers
using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Note:
Unless your Sprint PCS service plan includes roaming, you
will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Note:
If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide Sprint PCS
Network and enter an area where roaming is available, your
call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you
think Sprint PCS service is available, turn your phone off and
on again to reconnect to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.
