oaming is the ability to make or receive calls while youre off the
R
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network. Your new dual-band Sprint PCS®Phone works anywhere on the Sprint PCS Nationwide Network and allows you to roam on analog and digital networks virtually anywhere in the U.S. where compatible wireless service is available.

Understanding How Roaming Works
Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen
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 or digital mode. The following chart indicates what you'll see depending on where you're using your phone.
Digital Roam Indicator
Sprint PCS Nationwide Network Other Networks
Analog Roam Indicator
Analog Networks
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the Sprint 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 Networks
When you’re roaming on other networks, your call quality and security 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 PCS Wireless Web.
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 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 which are standard on the Sprint PCS Network, such as Call Waiting, Sprint PCS Wireless Web and direct international dialing, are unavailable.
Section 3
20 Understanding Roaming
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.
Setting Your Phones Roam Mode
Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By using the
Roaming menu option, you determine which signals your
phone accepts.
Set Mode
Choose from three different settings on your dual-band phone to control your roaming experience:
1. From the Standby mode, press to display the main menu.
2. Highlight Roaming and press .
3. Highlight Set Mode and press .
4. To select an option, highlight it and press .
Sprint PCS: This setting allows you to select the Sprint PCS
Nationwide Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.
Automatic: This setting seeks Sprint PCS Service. When Sprint PCS
Service is unavailable, it searches for an alternative system.
Analog: This setting forces the phone to seek an analog roaming
system. The previous setting is restored the next time the phone is turned on.
