Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 49
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 data services, will be unavailable, you can still make
and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are accustomed to
digital network 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 which are standard on the available network, such
as call waiting, data services, and direct international dialing, are
unavailable.
ⅷ Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are
roaming, you may not receive notification until you return to the
available network. (See “Checking for Voicemail Messages While
Roaming” on
page 50).
ⅷ There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning)
that exist with 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.
Note:
If you’re on a call when you leave the available 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 network
service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the
available network.
When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This
is normal for analog operation.
