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 Sprint PCS Vision and
Sprint PCS Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can still
make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are
accustomed to Sprint PCS service, you may notice some of the
following differences when using analog service:
ⅷ You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,
fade-out, and dropped calls.
ⅷ Some features that are standard on the enhanced
Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, such as call waiting,
Sprint PCS Vision, and direct international dialing,
may be unavailable.
ⅷ Although callers can leave voicemail messages while you
are roaming, you will not receive notification until you
return to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.
ⅷ There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
cloning) that are inherent to conventional analog
services today.
ⅷ Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you
will need to recharge it more often when you use your
phone for analog roaming.
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network,
you will not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail
messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you will need
to periodically check your voicemail for new messages if you
are in a roaming service area for an extended period of time.
Note:
When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel
warm. This is normal for analog operation.
