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 Nationwide Sprint Network. However, you may not be able to access certain features, such as data services, depending on the available network. Note: If you're on a call when you leave the Nationwide Sprint Network, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think Sprint 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 quality similar to that provided by other analog carriers today. Although some features, such as data services, may be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are accustomed to Sprint service, 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 Nationwide Sprint 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 may not receive notification until you return to the Nationwide Sprint Network. (See "Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming" on page 98.) 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: When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This is normal for analog operation. Sprint Basics 3A. Sprint Service: The Basics 97

3A. Sprint Service: The Basics

Sprint Basics
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 Nationwide Sprint
Network. However, you may not be able to access
certain features, such as data services, depending on
the available network.
Note:
If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide Sprint
Network, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in
an area where you think Sprint 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 quality similar to that provided by other
analog carriers today. Although some features, such as
data services, may be unavailable, you can still make
and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are
accustomed to Sprint service, you may notice some of
the following differences when using analog service:
±
You are more likely to experience static, crosstalk,
fade-out, and dropped calls.
±
Some features which are standard on the Nationwide
Sprint Network, such as call waiting, data services,
and direct international dialing, may be unavailable.
±
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while
you are roaming, you may not receive notification
until you return to the Nationwide Sprint Network.
(See “Checking for Voicemail Messages While
Roaming” on page 98.)
±
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping
and cloning) that exist with conventional analog
services today.
±
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:
When using your phone in analog mode, the phone
may feel warm. This is normal for analog operation.
