Understanding Roaming
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off
the network provided to you and whether your phone is operating in
analog or digital mode. The following chart indicates what you’ll see
depending on where you’re using your phone.

Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the network provided to you,
always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Note: 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 network provided to you. However, you may not be able to
access certain features, such as Sprint PCS Vision.
Note: Ready Link Service is not available in roaming areas.
