72 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 Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Any time you are
roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon (
). If you are
roaming on an analog system, the roaming icon will display
along with the text – Analog Roam – .
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Nationwide
Sprint PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code +
number).
Note: Unless your Sprint PCS 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 Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.
However, you may not be able to access certain features, such
as Sprint PCS Vision.
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network
and enter an area where roaming is available , your call is dropped. If your
call is dropped in an area where you think Sprint PCS Service is available, turn
your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Nationwide Sprint PCS
Network.
