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 Nationwide Sprint
Network. However, you may not be able to access
certain features, such as data services, depending on
the available network.
Checking for Voicemail Messages While

When you are roaming off the Nationwide Sprint

voicemail for new messages if you are in a roaming
service area for an extended period of time.

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

make or receive calls while on the Nationwide Sprint
Network.)
