Understanding Roaming

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard
oaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off 
the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new  
dual band/tri mode PCS Phone works anywhere on the enhanced 
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and allows you to roam on other 
networks where we’ve implemented roaming agreements with 
other carriers and in limited areas where 1900 MHz digital 
networks are available.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special 
features that let you manage your roaming experience.

Understanding Roaming
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re 
off the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and whether 
your phone is operating in analog or digital mode. The following 
chart indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using 
your phone.
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Note: 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 enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may 
not be able to access certain features, such as PCS Vision.

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 PCS Vision and PCS Voice Command, will 
be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access 
voicemail. You will experience a few differences:

You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, 
and dropped calls.

Some features which are standard on the enhanced  
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting,  
PCS Vision, and direct international dialing, are unavailable.

Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are 
roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to 
the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. While roaming, you 
can periodically check your voicemail for new messages by 
dialing 1+area code+your PCS Phone Number. Press 
 
when you hear your greeting and enter your passcode at the 
prompt.

There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and 
cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.

Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your 
phone for analog roaming.
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network 
and enter an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), 
your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think 
 PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.
Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel warm. This behavior is normal for analog operation.
