oaming is the ability to make or receive calls while you’re off the

anywhere on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network and allows you to
roam on digital networks virtually anywhere in the U.S. where compatible

your pass code at the prompt.



There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that
exist with conventional analog services today .



Your battery needs recharging sooner 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 PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on
again to reconnect to the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.

Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel

warm. This behavior is normal for analog operation.

Setting Y our Phone’ s Roam Mode

Your PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By using the

analog or digital mode. The following chart indicates what you’ll see
depending on where you’re using your phone.

Roaming Indicator

Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint

Nationwide PCS Network, always dial numbers using 11 digits
(1 + area code + number).

Note: You will pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

When you’re roaming on other digital networks, your call quality and
security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls while
on the enhanced Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. You may not be able to
access certain calling features, such as PCS Vision.

Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar
quality provided by other analog carriers today . Although some calling
features, such as PCS Vision, will be unavailable, you can still make and
receive calls and access voicemail. You will experience a few differences:

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