60 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming ExperienceSection 2DControlling Your Roaming ExperienceIn This SectionࡗUnderstanding RoamingࡗSetting Your Phone’s Roam ModeࡗControlling Roaming Charges Using Call GuardRoaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. Your new dual band/tri-mode VI-290 by Motorola® works anywhere on the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network and allows you to roam on other analog and 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.
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 61RoamingUnderstanding RoamingRecognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display ScreenYour 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 ( ). If you are roaming on a digital system, the roaming icon will display along with the text – Digital Roam –. If you are roaming on an analog system, the roaming icon will display along with the text – Analog Roam –.Roaming on Other Digital NetworksWhen 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 Sprint PCS Vision.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 Sprint PCS 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 and enter an area where roaming is available, 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 Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.
62 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming ExperienceRoaming on Analog NetworksWhen you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some features, such as Sprint PCS Vision and Sprint PCS Voice Command, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. If you are accustomed to Sprint PCS Service, you may notice some of the following differences when using analog service:ⅷYou are more likely to experience static, cross-talk, fade-out, and dropped calls.ⅷSome features that are standard on the enhanced Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, such as call waiting, Sprint PCS Vision, and direct international dialing, are unavailable.ⅷThough callers can leave voicemail messages while you are roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network. (See “Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on page 74.)ⅷThere are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.ⅷYour battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you will need to recharge it more often when you use your phone for analog roaming.Note: When using your phone in an analog mode, the phone may feel warm. This is normal for analog operation.
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 63RoamingChecking for Voicemail Messages While RoamingWhen you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, you will not receive on-phone 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.To check your voicemail while roaming:1. Dial 1+area code+your Sprint PCS 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 Nationwide Sprint PCS Network, voicemail notification will resume as normal.
64 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming ExperienceSetting Your Phone’s Roam ModeYour Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your roaming capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your phone accepts.Set ModeChoose from three different settings on your dual- band phone to control your roaming experience.To set your phone’s roam mode:1. Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > Set Mode.2. To select an option, highlight it and press  .ⅢSprint Only allows you to access the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network only and prevents roaming on other networks.ⅢAutomatic seeks Sprint PCS Service. When Sprint PCS Service is unavailable, the phone searches for an alternate system.ⅢRoaming Only forces the phone to seek a roaming system. The previous setting (Sprint Only or Automatic) is restored the next time the phone is turned on.OK
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 65RoamingUsing Call GuardYour phone has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network: the onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to manage your roaming charges by requiring an extra step before you can place or answer a roaming call. (This additional step is not required when you make or receive calls while on the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network.)To turn Call Guard on or off:1. Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > Call Guard.2. Highlight On or Off and press  .To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:1. From standby mode, dial 1 + area code + the seven-digit number and press  .2. Select Roam Call ().To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:1. Press  . (A message will display notifying you that roaming charges will apply.)2. Select Answer (). Note: Voice Dialing and Speed Dialing are not available when you are roaming with Call Guard enabled.Note: If the Call Guard feature is set to On, you need to take extra steps to make and receive roaming calls.OKTA L K1TA L K1
