TTY Use With Sprint Service
A TTY (teletypewriter, 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 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 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 Customer Service via the state
Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by first
dialing . Then provide the state TRS with

Understanding Roaming
Roaming
⽧ Understanding Roaming
⽧ Setting Your Device’s Roam Mode
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off
the Sprint National Network. Your new Samsung ACE
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.
72Section 2D. Roaming
TM
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display
Screen
Your device’s Home screen always lets you know when
you’re off the Sprint National Network. Anytime you are
roaming, the device displays the roaming icon ( )
and extra charges may apply when making or
receiving a call.
Remember, when you are using your device off the
Tip
Sprint National Network, always dial numbers using
11 digits (1 + area code + number).
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 data services, 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 automatic 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.
1. Dial 1 + area code + your 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 Sprint National Network,
voicemail notification will resume as normal.
Setting Your Device’s Roam Mode
Your device allows you to control your roaming
capabilities. Your device has a way of alerting you
when you are roaming off the Sprint National Network:
the onscreen roaming icon. By using the
menu option, you can determine which signals your
device accepts, and which network you will use.
Enabling the Roaming Option
Choose from three different settings on your device to
control your roaming experience.
2. Use the navigation key to select an option in the
‘Roaming option’ field and press
.
䡲 Sprint Only to access the Nationwide Sprint PCS

䡲 Automatic to seek service on the Sprint National
Network. When Sprint service is unavailable, the
device searches for an alternate system.
Enabling the Data Roam Guard
Depending on service availability and roaming
agreements, your phone may be able to access data
services while roaming on certain digital systems. You
can set your phone to alert you when you are roaming
off the Sprint National Network and try to use data
services such as messaging.
2. Use the navigation key to select an option in the
