Setting Your Phone's Roam Mode - Sanyo SCP-8100 User Manual

Roaming on Analogue Networks
When you roam on analogue networks, you will experience a
similar quality provided by other analogue carriers today.
Although some features, such as Web, will be unavailable, you
can still make and receive calls and access voicemail. You will
experience a few differences:
You are more likely to experience, cross-talk, fade-out, and
dropped calls.
Some features which are standard on the home network, such
as call waiting, direct international dialling, are unavailable.
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you are
roaming, you may not receive notification until you return to
the home network.
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
cloning) that exist with conventional analogue services today.
Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your
phone for analogue roaming.
Note:
If you're on a call when you leave the home network and enter an
area where roaming is available (whether digital or analogue), 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 home
network.
Note: When using your phone in analogue mode, the handset may feel
warm. This behaviour is normal for analogue operation.
