Understanding Roaming Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen Your phone's display screen always lets you know when you're off the home network.Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the home network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number). Roaming on Other Digital Networks When you're roaming on other 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 Sprint PCS Vision. Note: If you're on a call when you leave the home network, 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. Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming When you are roaming off the home network, you will not receive on-phone notification of new voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you will need to periodically check your voicemail for new messages if you are in a roaming service area for an extended time. To check your voicemail while roaming: 1. Dial 1 + area code + your phone number. 2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press Shift . 3. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the voice prompts. When you return to the home network, voicemail notification will resume as normal. 82 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
