Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 56
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, will be unavailable, you can still
make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are accustomed
to digital 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 network provided to
you, 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 may not receive notification until you return to
your network. (See “Checking for Voicemail Messages While
Roaming” on page 57.)
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: If you’re on a call when you leave the network provided to you 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 network
service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to
your network.
When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This
is normal for analog operation.
