Sometimes you might be in a fringe area,..... where your phone will switch back and forth between sprint and non sprint towers.. or you don't have any sprint service near your.. but there is service.. this eliminates the phone need to search for sprint.. and locks you on to anothers carrier.. usually verizon..

and if you have sprint.. there is no extra charge for roaming so.. might as well make your phone work...thats what its for..


hope this helps...
