TTY Use With Sprint PCS Service
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a
telecommunications device that allows people who are
deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language
disabilities, to communicate by telephone.
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please
check 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 PCS Service, please call
Sprint Customer Service via the state Telecommunications
Relay Service (TRS) by first dialing , .
Then provide the state TRS with this number: 866-727-
4889.
To turn TTY Mode on or off:
1. Press Menu ( ) to access the main menu.

IMPORTANT
NOTICE:
911 Emergency Calling
Sprint recommends that TTY users make
emergency calls by other means, including
Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog
cellular, and land line communications. Wireless
TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when received
by public safety answering points (PSAPs)
rendering some communications unintelligible. 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 Sprint PCS
Phone SPH-A560 by Samsung works anywhere on the
Sprint Nationwide PCS 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.

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the Sprint Nationwide PCS
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 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 .

Viewing History
You’ll find the Call History feature very helpful. It is a list of
the last 20 phone numbers (or Contacts entries) for calls
you placed, accepted, or missed. Call History makes
redialing a number fast and easy. It is continually updated
as new numbers are added to the beginning of the list and
the oldest entries are removed from the bottom of the list.
Each entry contains the phone number (if it is available)
and Contacts entry name (if the phone number is in your
Contacts). Duplicate calls (same number and type of call)
may only appear once on the list.
To view a Call History entry:
1. Press Menu ( ) to access the main menu.
2. Select Call History ().
3. Select Outgoing Calls (), Incoming Calls (), or
Missed Calls ().
4. Highlight the entry you wish to view and press
You can view your recent call history by pressing the talk
