150 3A. Sprint Service Features: The Basics
Choosing a Roaming Mode
On the Phone: Roaming screen, you can enable or disable roaming by choosing one of the
following modes:
䢇 Sprint Only to prevent roaming on other networks.
䢇 Automatic to seek service on the Nationwide Sprint Network. When Sprint service is
unavailable, your device searches for an alternate system.
Using Call Guard
Your device has two ways of alerting you when you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint
Network: the onscreen roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to manage
your roaming 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 Network)
To turn Call Guard on or off:
䊳 On the Phone: Roaming screen, select On or Off.
To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:
1. Press the
Tal k key to display the Phone screen.
2. Enter
1, the area code, and then the seven-digit number. After entering the number,
press the
Tal k key.
3. A pop-up message then appears, informing you that roaming rates will apply. Tap
Dismiss to close the message, and then tap 1 to place the call.
Note
• Call Guard is turned off by default on your phone.
• Automatic speed recognition (ASR) and speed dialing are not available when you are
roaming with Call Guard enabled.
