blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of talk
time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers
down.

Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate

Note:

mode, and browser use affect the battery talk and standby
times.

TTY Use

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 service, please call Qwest 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:

IMPORTANT
NOTICE:

911 Emergency Calling

Qwest 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.

⽧ Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off
the network available to you. Your new SPH-a880 by
Samsung works anywhere on the network available to you
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.

Roaming

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 75

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when
you’re off the network available to you. Any time you are

roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ).

Remember, when you are using your phone off the network

Tip:

available to you, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area
code + number).

You may pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Note:

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

If you’re on a call when you leave the network available to you

Note:

and enter an area where roaming is available, 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 available to you.

76 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the network available to you, 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 wireless phone number.

2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press .

3. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the voice

prompts.

When you return to the network available to you, voicemail
notification will resume as normal.

service is unavailable, the phone searches for an
alternate system.

䡲 Roaming only forces the phone to seek a roaming

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

䡲 Qwest allows you to access the network available to

you only and prevents roaming on other networks.

78 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming
off the network available to you: the on-screen roaming icon and
Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to manage your roaming
charges 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 network available to you.)

To turn Call Guard on or off:

1. Press Menu ( ) to access the main menu.
