The problem encountered appears related to TTY equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Your new dual-band/tri-mode

Sprint PCS Vision Phone works anywhere on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and allows you to roam on other analog and 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.

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and whether your phone is operating in analog or digital mode. The following chart indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.

Roaming Indicator

Sprint Nationwide PCS Network

Other Digital Networks

Analog Networks Analog Roam

Analog Mode

(AMPS)

Tip:

Note:

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

Unless your Service Plan includes roaming, you will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

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 Nationwide PCS Network. However, you may not be able to access certain features, such as Sprint PCS Vision.

Note:

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 60

Sprint PCS Ready Link Service is not available in roaming areas.

Page 69

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 Sprint PCS Vision and Sprint PCS Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are accustomed to Sprint PCS Service, you may notice some of the following differences when using analog service:

 You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and

dropped calls.

 Some features which are standard on the enhanced

Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, such as Call Waiting, Sprint PCS Vision, Sprint PCS Ready Link and direct international dialing, are unavailable.

 Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are

roaming, you may not receive notification until you return to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. (See “Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on

 There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning)

page 62.)

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:

If you’re on a call when you leave the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and enter an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.

When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This is normal for analog operation.

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 61

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network, you may 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 period of time.

To check your voicemail while roaming:

1. Dial 1+area code+your Sprint PCS Phone Number.

2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press .

3. Enter your pass code at the prompt and follow the voice

prompts.

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

analog roaming system. The previous setting (Sprint or Automatic) is restored the next time the phone is turned on.

 Sprint: This setting allows you to access the enhanced Sprint

Nationwide PCS Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.

Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard
