92 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when
you’re off the network available to you. Any time you are
roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If you
are roaming on a digital system, the roaming icon will
display along with the text Digital Roam, and on an analog
system, with the text Analog Roam.
Tip:Remember, when you are using your phone off the network available
to you, 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 network available 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.
Note:If you’re on a call when you leave the network available to you and
enter an area where roaming is available , your call is dropped. If your call
is dropped in an area where you think network service is available, turn
your phone off and on again to reconnect to the network available to you.
