oaming is the ability to make or receive calls while you’re off the
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. Your new dual-band Sprint PCS
Phone
TM
works anywhere on the Sprint PCSNationwide Network and allows
you to roam on analog cellular and digital networks where Sprint PCS has
implemented roaming agreements.
This section explains how roaming works, as well as special features that let
you manage your roaming experience.
SCP-5000(E)/001_102 01.1.18 11:58 Page 33
34 Understanding Roaming
Tip:
Remember, when
you’re using your
phone off the
Sprint PCS Network,
always dial
numbers
using 11 digits
(1 + area code +
number).
Tip:
You will pay a higher
per-minute rate for
roaming calls.
Tip:
When the clamshell is
closed, you will see the
roaming status on the
Sub LCD.
Understanding How Roaming Works
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know
when you’re off the Sprint PCS Network and
whether your phone is operating in analog
cellular or digital mode. The following chart
indicates what you’ll see depending on where
you’re using your phone.

Understanding
Roaming
Tip:
If you’re on a call
when you leave the
Sprint PCS Network
and enter an area
where roaming is
available (whether
CDMA or analog
cellular), your call is
dropped. If your call is
dropped in an area
where you think
Sprint PCS Service is
available, turn your
phone off and on
again to reconnect to
the Sprint PCS
Nationwide Network.
Roaming on Other PCS CDMA Networks
When you’re roaming on other PCS CDMA
networks, your call quality will be similar to the
quality you receive when making calls while on
the Sprint PCS Network. You may not be able to
access certain calling features, such as
Sprint PCSWireless Web, however , all of your
calls are still private and secure.
Roaming on Analog Cellular Networks
When you roam on analog cellular networks,
you will experience the same quality provided by
analog cellular carriers today . Although certain
calling features, such as Sprint PCS Wireless Web,
may be unavailable, you can still make and
receive calls. You will experience a few
differences including:
You are more likely to experience static,
cross-talk, fade-out and dropped calls.
Some calling features that are standard on
the Sprint PCS Network are unavailable.
There are security and privacy risks
(eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with
conventional analog cellular services today .
Your battery needs recharging sooner when
you use your phone for analog cellular
roaming.
