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 PCS Vision and PCS Voice Command, will be 
unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access 
voicemail. If you are accustomed to PCS 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 enhanced
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting,
PCS Vision, and direct international dialing, are unavailable.
ⅷ
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are 
roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to the 
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. (See “Checking for Voicemail 
Messages While Roaming” on page 52).
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 Sprint Nationwide PCS 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 PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to 
reconnect to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.
When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This 
is normal for analog operation.
