Roaming

So what happens if your having a conversation that originated in a Sprint coverage area but then moves into a roaming area?
Do you lose you're phone call and have to redial?
Dose the hand off occur without a hitch?

the hand off will go fine but going from roaming to sprint is where you will have the issue.

Also if you go into an analog area for roaming it will drop the call 100% of the time. That is if any network still uses analog.

I think certain regional carriers are still using analog- at least until the end of the year.

My understanding is that if your call originates in a Sprint coverage area, the call will remain on the Sprint network so long as you have any viable signal available. If you are roaming while on a call, it stays in roaming mode for the duration.

In other words, the phone won't switch to roaming so long as an active call is taking place or vice-versa. Once the signal is gone completely while either roaming or on network, the call is dropped.
