Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 95
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re
off the Sprint National Network. Any time you are roaming,
the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If you are
roaming on an analog system, the roaming icon will be
displayed along with the text
Analog Roam.
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 National Network. However, you
may not be able to access certain features, such as
SprintVision.
Note:
If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint National Network
and enter an area where roaming is available , your call is
dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think
Sprintservice is available, turn your phone off and on again to
reconnect to the Sprint National Network.
Note:
Unless your Sprint service plan includes roaming, you will pay
a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Tip:
Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint
National Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 +
area code + number).
