and dropped calls.

Some calling features which are standard on the Sprint PCS
Network, such as Call Waiting, Sprint PCS Wireless Web and
direct international dialing, are unavailable.
.
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and

If you're on a call when you leave the Sprint PCS Network and enter
an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), your call is

Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the
