ᮣ Some calling features which are standard on the Sprint PCS Network,
such as Call Waiting, Sprint PCS Wireless Web and direct
international dialing, are unavailable.
ᮣ 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.
Tip: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint 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 Sprint PCS
Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network.
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By
using the
Roaming menu option, you determine which signals your
phone accepts.
Set Mode
Choose from three different settings on your dual-band mode phone to
control your roaming experience:
1. Press for Main Menu
2. Press for Roaming.
3. Press for Set Mode. To select an option, scroll to select
Automatic, Sprint PCS, or Analog.
4. Press to Save.
ᮣ Automatic: This setting seeks Sprint PCS Service. When Sprint PCS
Service is unavailable, it searches for an alternative system.
ᮣ Sprint PCS: This setting allows you to select the Sprint PCS
Nationwide Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.
ᮣ Analog: This setting forces the phone to seek an analog roaming
system. The previous setting is restored the next time the phone is
turned on.
