Your device is compatible with select TTY devices.
Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY device
to ensure that it supports digital wireless transmission.
Your device and TTY device will connect via a special
cable that plugs into your device’s headset jack. If this

⽧ Using Data Roam Guard (page 58)

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off
the Sprint National Network. Your new Samsung Instinct™

works anywhere on the Sprint National Network and
allows you to roam on other 1900 and 800 MHz digital
networks where we’ve implemented roaming
agreements with other carriers. This section explains
how roaming works as well as special features that let
you manage your roaming experience.

Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display
Screen

Your device’s display screen always lets you know
when you’re off the Sprint National Network. Anytime
you are roaming, the device displays the roaming icon
( ). If you are roaming on a digital system, the
roaming icon will be displayed along with the text

– Digital Roam –.

Remember, when you are using your device off the

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 Power Vision,
depending on the available network.

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

Note

Network, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped
in an area where you think Sprint service is available,
turn your device off and on again to reconnect to the
network.

Checking for Voicemail Messages While
Roaming

When you are roaming off the Sprint National Network,
you may not receive on-device 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 period of time.

4. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the

voice prompts.

When you return to the Sprint National Network,
voicemail notification will resume as normal.

Setting Your Device’s Roam Mode

Your device allows you to control your roaming
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you
can determine which signals your device accepts.

Choose from three different settings on your dual-band
device to control your roaming experience.

1. Press and touch Main () > Settings >

2. Touch the Roaming Mode field and touch one of the

following options:

䡲 Automatic to seek service on the Sprint National

Network. When Sprint service is unavailable, the
device searches for an alternate system.

䡲 Sprint Only to access the Nationwide Sprint PCS

Network only and prevent roaming on other
networks.

Using Call Guard

Your device has two ways of alerting you when you are
roaming off the Sprint National Network, the onscreen
roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy
to manage your roaming by requiring an extra step
before you can place or answer a roaming call. (This
additional step is not required when you make or
receive calls while on the Sprint National Network.)

To turn Call Guard on or off:

1. Press and touch Main () > Settings >

Call Guard is turned off by default on your device.

Note

Voice dialing and speed dialing are not available
