Understanding How Roaming Works
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen will always indicate when you
are off the Sprint PCS Network, and whether your phone is
operating in analog cellular or digital mode. The following
chart indicates what will be displayed dependent upon
where you are using your phone.
Roaming on Other PCS CDMA Networks
When you are roaming on other PCS CDMA networks, your
call quality will be similar to the quality that you receive
when making calls while on the Sprint PCS Network. You
may not be able to access certain calling features, such as
the Sprint PCS Wireless Web, but all of your calls are still
private and secure.
Roaming on Analog Cellular Networks
When you roam on analog cellular networks, you will
experience the identical quality provided by analog cellular
carriers today. Although some calling features, such as
Sprint PCS Wireless Web, may be unavailable, you can still
make and receive calls. You will experience a few
differences:
ᮣ
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-
out and dropped calls.
ᮣ
Some calling features that are standard on the
Sprint PCS Network are unavailable.

Tip:
Remember, when you are
using your phone off the
Sprint PCS Network,
always dial numbers using
11 digits (1 + area code +
number).
Note:
You will pay a higher
per-minute rate for
roaming calls.
Tip:
If you are on a call
when you leave the
Sprint PCS Network
and enter an area
where roaming is
available (whether
CDMA or analog
cellular), your call is
dropped. If your call
is dropped in an
area where you
think Sprint PCS
Service is available,
turn your phone off
and then on again to
reconnect to the
Sprint PCS
Nationwide
Network.
