Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar
quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some service
features, such as PCS Vision, will be unavailable, you can still make and
receive calls and access voicemail. You will experience a few differences:
ᮣ
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and
dropped calls.
ᮣ
Some service features which are standard on the enhanced Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network, such as call waiting, PCS Vision Products and
Services, and direct international dialing, are unavailable.
ᮣ
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming,
you will not receive notification until you return to the Sprint Nationwide
PCS Network. While roaming, you can periodically check your voicemail
for new messages by dialing 1+area code+your PCS Phone Number.
Press when you hear your greeting and enter your pass code at
the prompt.
ᮣ
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that
exist with conventional analog services today.
ᮣ
Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for
analog roaming. (See “Using the Battery” on page 19.)
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.
Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel
warm. This behavior is normal for analog operation.
