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 PCS Vision,PCS Ready Link,and PCS Voice Command,
will be unavailable,you can still make and receive calls and access
voicemail.If you are accustomed to 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 which are standard on the enhanced Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network,such as call waiting,PCS Vision,
PCS Ready Link,and direct international dialing,may not be
available.
ⅷ
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are
roaming,you may not receive notification until you return to the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. (See “Checking for Voicemail
Messages While Roaming” on the next page).
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 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 phone may feel warm. This is
normal for analog operation.
