Note:
You will pay a higher
per-minute rate for
roaming calls.
Tip:
If you’re on a call
when you leave the
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
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 PCS Wireless Web, however all of
your calls are still private and secure.
