Section 2D. Roaming

Using Data Roam Guard

Depending on service availability and roaming
agreements, your phone may be able to access data
services while roaming on certain digital systems. You
can set your phone to alert you when you are roaming
off the Sprint National Network and try to use data
services such as messaging.

To set your Data Roam Guard call notification:

1.

While in standby mode, select

Main Menu > Settings

> More... > Roaming > Data Roaming

.

2.

Select an option and press

.

Default

resets Data Roam Guard to its default

status (on for international calls, off for domestic
calls).

Always Ask

turns your phone’s Data Roam Guard

feature on. You will see a prompt and will be
required to respond anytime you access data
services while roaming.

Never Ask

turns your phone’s Data Roam Guard

feature off. You will not be notified of your roaming
status when accessing data services (either
domestically or internationally).

To use data services when Data Roam Guard is active:

When a pop-up notification appears informing you
that data roam charges may apply, press

Roam

(left

softkey) to connect.

Note

Data Roam Guard is turned off by default for
domestic calls on your phone. (However, you will
have to take an extra step for international calls.)
