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 Sprint PCS Vision, will be
unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access
voicemail. If you are accustomed to network 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 network
available to you, such as call waiting, Sprint PCS Vision,
Ready Link, and direct international dialing, are
unavailable.
ⅷ
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you
are roaming, you will not receive notification until you
return to the network available to you. (See “Checking
for Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on page 94.)
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:When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm.
This is normal for analog operation.
