Does anyone know what a PCS cell phone is
and why it's different the other cell phones?
My friend has one that is registered from
Sprint spectrul Lp. When I called,I only get
the voice mail but the phone doesn't ring.
Yesterday it kept saying the mailbox was full,
and to call back later. Today it's allowing for
messages. I sent some messages saying I
needed them to call me,but so far no return
calls. My friend went a couple of states away
to visit,and I wanted to know if they got there
ok,and if they are doing alright.
Does anyone know what the problem could be
with my friends cell phone? It won't ring,it just
goes straight to voice mail. The mailbox was
full yesterday,but not today though.

Your friend is probably roaming off the Sprint network, and all digital calls are not being forwarded. They cannot check their messages unless they know how to do it off-network. Another reason could be that their service plan does not include roaming.

PCS is a general term used to describe digital mobile telephony services, particularly those working in the upper frequencies such as 1900 MHz. PCS, which stands for &Personal Communications Services&, general include enhanced personal communications services such as SMS text messaging or caller ID.
It could be the type of cell phone LG.
But most likely it's the SPRINT network.

Sprint uses the CDMA band while all other phones use GSM band to communicate.
