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 data services, will be unavailable, you can still make 
and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are accustomed to 
digital network 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 available network, such 
as call waiting, data services, 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 the 
available network. (See “Checking for Voicemail Messages While 
Roaming” on page 50).
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 available 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 network 
service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the 
available network.
When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This 
is normal for analog operation.
