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, such as data services.
Note:If you're on a call when you leave the home network and enter an area
where roaming is available , your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an
area where you think network service is available, turn your phone off and
on again to reconnect to the network.
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 data service, will be
unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access
voicemail. If you are accustomed to network, you may notice
some of the following differences when using analog service:
ⅷ
You are more likely to experience static, crosstalk,
fade-out, and dropped calls.
ⅷ
Some features which are standard on the home network,
such as call waiting, data services, and direct international
dialing, may be unavailable.
ⅷ
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you
are roaming, you will not receive notification until you
return to the home network. (See "Checking for Voicemail
Messages While Roaming"on page 44.)
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.
