Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the
home network. Any time you are roaming, the phone 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 receive when making calls on the home network.
However, you may not be able to access certain features, depending on the
available network.
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the home network, you may not receive on-phone
notification of new voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages,
but you will need to periodically check your voicemail for new messages if
you are in a roaming service area for an extended period of time.
To check your voicemail while roaming:
1. Dial 1 + area code + your phone number.
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press .
3. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the voice prompts.
Note If you’re on a call when you leave the home network, your call is dropped.
If your call is dropped in an area where you think Qwest service is
available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the network.
Tip Remember, when you are using your phone off the home network, always
dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
