Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off
the Sprint National Network.

Your new digital dual-band

M520 by Samsung works anywhere on the Sprint
National Network and allows you to roam on other
1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where roaming
agreements have been implemented. This section
explains how roaming works as well as special features
that let you manage 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 Sprint National Network. Anytime
you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon
(

).

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 Sprint National
Network. However, you may not be able to access
certain features, such as Power Vision, depending on
the available network.

Tip

Remember, when you are using your phone off the
Sprint National Network, always dial numbers using
11 digits (1 + area code + number).
