Understanding Roaming
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the
Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and whether your phone is operating in
analog or digital mode. The following chart indicates what you’ll see
depending on where you’re using your phone.

Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits
(1 + area code + number).
Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Roaming on 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 while on the
enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may not be able to access
certain service features, such as PCS Vision.
