Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re
off the Sprint National Network. Anytime you are roaming,
the phone displays the roaming icon (
). If you are roaming
on a digital system, the roaming icon will be displayed along
with the text – Digital Roam – .
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint National
Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Note: Unless your Sprint 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 other digital networks, your call
quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive
when making calls on the Sprint National Network. However,
you may not be able to access certain features, depending on
the available network.
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint National 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 service is available, turn your
phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint National Network.
