Roaming
Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a
similar quality provided by other analog carriers today.
Although some features, such as data services, will be
unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access
voicemail. If you are accustomed to network service, you may
notice some of the following differences when using analog
service:
䢇 You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,
fade-out, and dropped calls.
䢇 Some features that are standard on the enhanced
network available to you, such as call waiting, data
services, and direct international dialing, may be
unavailable.
䢇 Although callers can leave voicemail messages while you
are roaming, you will not receive notification until you
return to the network available to you.
䢇 There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
cloning) that are inherent to conventional analog services
today.
䢇 Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you
will need to recharge it more often when you use your
phone for analog roaming.
Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming
When you are roaming off the network available to you, 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.
Note:
When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel
warm. This is normal for analog operation.
