in analog or digital mode. The following chart indicates what you’ll

Tip:
Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits
(1 + area code + number).
Note:
Unless your Service Plan includes roaming, you will pay a higher
per-minute rate for roaming calls.
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 Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. However, you may not be
able to access certain features, such as Sprint PCS Vision.
Note:
Sprint PCS Ready Link Service is not available in roaming areas.
