Roaming on Other PCS CDMA Networks
When you’re roaming on other PCS CDMA networks, your
call quality will be similar to the quality you receive when
making calls while on the Sprint PCS Network. You may not
be able to access certain calling features, such as Sprint PCS
Wireless Web, however, 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 same quality provided by analog cellular
carriers today. Although most calling features, such as
Sprint PCS Wireless Web, may be unavailable, you can still
make and receive calls. You will experience a few
differences including:
ᮣ
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,
fade-out and dropped calls.
ᮣ
Some features that are standard on the Sprint PCS
Network are unavailable.
ᮣ
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
cloning) that exist with conventional analog cellular
services today.
ᮣ
Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use
your phone for analog cellular roaming.
Tip:
If you’re 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 on again
to reconnect to the
Sprint PCS Nationwide
Network.
