Accessing Your Email and Data Services on CDMA Networks
If data service is available on a CDMA network, then you only need to set the phone
to CDMA; you will not need to select the specific carrier. Selecting a specific carrier is
only necessary for providers on the GSM network. If your device has automatically
selected a GSM network while traveling, then you will need to set the phone to
CDMA to access CDMA data services. (See “Activating Global Roaming Mode” on
page 39.) Visit
www.sprint.com/international for a list of services available for each
country.
You will also want to periodically get the latest PRL (Preferred Roaming List) release by
either calling customer service or visiting a local retail store. The PRL provides your
device with information to select the optimal network for where you are traveling.
Note:
When traveling, it may be necessary to select a new compatible GSM data
service carrier each time you enter a new country.
