roaming, the device 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

certain features, such as data services, depending on the available network.

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint Network, you may not receive on-device notification of new
voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you will need to periodically check your voicemail

area where you think Sprint service is available, turn your device off and on again to reconnect to the network.
