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 Sprint
Nationwide 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 Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. (See
“Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on
page 70.)
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 an analog mode, the phone may
feel warm. This is normal for analog operation.
