2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 53
ᮣ Some calling features which are standard on the enhanced Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, PCS Vision Products
and Services and direct international dialing, are unavailable.
ᮣ Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are
roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While roaming, you should
periodically check your voicemail box for new messages by dialing
1+area code+your PCS Phone Number. Press when you hear
your greeting and enter your pass code at the prompt.
ᮣ There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning)
that exist with conventional analog services today.
ᮣ Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for
analog roaming.
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide
PCS 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 PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again
to reconnect to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.
Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel warm.
This behavior is normal for analog operation.
