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 and Sprint
PCS Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can still make
and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are accustomed
to Sprint PCS 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 Nationwide
Sprint PCS Network, such as call waiting, Sprint PCS Vision,
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 Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. (See
“Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming”on
page 74.)
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.
