84 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the home
network. Any time you are roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon
( ). If you are roaming on an analog system, the roaming icon will be
displayed along with the text Analog Roam.
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality and security
will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls on the home
network. However, you may not be able to access certain features,
depending on the available network.
Note:
If you’re on a call when you leave the home network, your call is dropped.
If your call is dropped in an area where you think network service is
available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the home
network.
Tip:
Remember, when you are using your phone off the home network, always
dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).
