and chargers with your phone. The failure to use a
Sprint-approved or LG-approved battery and charger
may increase the risk that your phone will overheat,
catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily
injury, death, or property damage.

with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it
supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY
device will connect via a special cable that plugs into your
phone’s headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your
TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase
the connector cable.

When establishing your Sprint service, please call Sprint

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re
off the Sprint National Network. Any time you are roaming,
the phone displays the roaming icon ( ).

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 Sprint National Network. However, you
may not be able to access certain features, such as Sprint
Vision, depending on the available network.

Note

If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint National
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.

Tip

Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint
National Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits
(1 + area code + number).
