Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience quality similar to
that provided by other analog carriers today. Although some features, such
as Sprint Vision, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and
access voicemail. If you are accustomed to Qwest service, you may notice
some of the following differences when using analog service:

You are more likely to experience static, crosstalk, fade-out, and
dropped calls.

Some features which are standard on the home network, such as call
waiting, Sprint Vision, and direct international dialing, may be
unavailable.

Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming,
you may not receive notification until you return to the home network.
(See “Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on page 86.)

There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that
exist with conventional analog services today.

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:

When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This
is normal for analog operation.
