Using Data Roam Guard (page 58)
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when youre off
the Sprint National Network. Your new Samsung Instinct™
works anywhere on the Sprint National Network and
allows you to roam on other 1900 and 800 MHz digital
networks where we’ve implemented roaming
agreements with other carriers. This section explains
how roaming works as well as special features that let
you manage your roaming experience.
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display
Screen
Your device’s display screen always lets you know
when you’re off the Sprint National Network. Anytime
you are roaming, the device displays the roaming icon
( ). If you are roaming on a digital system, the
roaming icon will be displayed along with the text
Digital Roam .
Tip Remember, when you are using your device off the
Sprint National Network, always dial numbers using
11 digits (1 + area code + number).
56 Section 2D. Roaming
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 Sprint National
Network. However, you may not be able to access
certain features, such as Sprint Power Vision,
depending on the available network.
Checking for Voicemail Messages While
Roaming
When you are roaming off the Sprint National Network,
you may not receive on-device notification of new
voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages,
but you will need to periodically check your voicemail
for new messages if you are in a roaming service area
for an extended period of time.
1. Press and touch Dialer ( ).
2. Enter + area code + your phone number and
touch where the phone number now
appears.
3. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press
.
4. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the
voice prompts.
When you return to the Sprint National Network,
voicemail notification will resume as normal.
Setting Your Devices Roam Mode
Your device allows you to control your roaming
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you
can determine which signals your device accepts.
Choose from three different settings on your dual-band
device to control your roaming experience.
1. Press and touch Main ( ) > Settings >
Roaming.
Note If youre on a call when you leave the Sprint National
Network, your call is dropped. If your call is dropped
in an area where you think Sprint service is available,
turn your device off and on again to reconnect to the
network.

following options:
Automatic to seek service on the Sprint National
Network. When Sprint service is unavailable, the

Sprint Only to access the Nationwide Sprint PCS
Network only and prevent roaming on other
networks.
Using Call Guard
Your device has two ways of alerting you when you are
roaming off the Sprint National 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 Sprint National Network.)
To turn Call Guard on or off:
1. Press and touch Main ( ) > Settings >

touch where the phone number now
appears.
3. Touch Roam Call.
To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:
Touch to answer an incoming call. (A
message will be displayed notifying you that
roaming charges will apply.)
Note Call Guard is turned off by default on your device.
Voice dialing and speed dialing are not available
when you are roaming with Call Guard enabled.
Note If the Call Guard feature is set to On, you need to take
extra steps to make and receive roaming calls.

Using Data Roam Guard
Depending on service availability and roaming
agreements, your device may be able to access data
services while roaming on certain digital systems. You

off the Sprint National Network and try to use data
services such as messaging.
To set your Data Roam Guard notification:

Speech to Action
Section 2H. Speech to Action 93
3. Touch one of the available options:
Automatic to always provide you with options if
there was an issue registering the command,
confirm any commands, and then announce any
actions.
Always Confirm to always confirm any command
actions before they are done, even if it was
properly registered.
Never Confirm to never confirm any command
operations. The device will always act on what it
registers as the current command, even if it is
incorrect and without notifying you.
Adaptation
Some users with heavy accents or unusual voice
characteristics may find it difficult to achieve high
accuracy with their word recognition. The Adaptation
mode, with its Adapt Voice feature allows users to
dramatically improve the device’s accuracy by
retraining of the onboard recognition software.
(If you are satisfied with the voice recognition system's
accuracy, you don't need to use the Adaptation mode.)
After you have completed the Adaptation mode, your
device will be customized to your voice. Other people
will not be able to use your device unless they reset it
to factory defaults.
Training involves recording several number sequences
and common words to teach the system your voice.
This process takes about three minutes.
Tips for using the Adaptation mode:
Use the Adapt Voice feature in a quiet place.
Make sure you wait for the beep before starting to
speak.
Speak clearly, but say each digit sequence naturally.
Note ONLY use the Adaptation mode if the system is
frequently misrecognizing your speech. You can
always restore the system to its original factory
setting. SeeResetting Voice Recognitionon
page 94.

If the device cannot recognize your words, it will
continue to display the same information
onscreen.
5. Repeat the previous step for the remaining sets of
digits or words.

reach a screen that reads, “Adapting.”

Adapt Voice session at least once to achieve the
maximum benefit of this feature. If a partial
adaptation is performed, you can always return later
and resume the process from the halfway point.
