32 Roaming

• Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are

roaming, you will not receive notification until you return to the

network. While roaming, you can periodically check your

voicemail for new messages by dialing 1+area code+your

Phone Number. Press when you hear your greeting and

enter your passcode at the prompt.

• There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and

cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.

• Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your

phone in analog mode, whether in network or roaming.

Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the network and enter an area

where roaming is available, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in

an area where you think service is available, turn your phone Off and On

again to reconnect to the network.
