Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display 
Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when 
you’re off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Any time you 
are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon (
).
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 Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. 
However, you may not be able to access certain features, such 
as the browser or Messaging.
Tip:
Remember, when you are using your phone off the 
Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, always dial numbers using 
11 digits (1 + area code + number).
Note:
Unless your service plan includes roaming, you will pay a 
higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Note:
If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide Sprint PCS 
Network, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area 
where you think Sprint service is available, turn your phone 
off and on again to reconnect to the Nationwide Sprint PCS 
Network.
