service provider to find out how your selection will affect
your service charges.
Roaming
Roaming is the condition of using your phone outside of
its home area. While roaming, another service provider's
system handles your call, so the service rate for the call is
usually greater than the rate for calls made within your
home area. While roaming, the word Roaming and the
roaming indicator ( ) appear on the start screen.
Note: In some systems, you may need to have a roaming
agreement in order to place a call. If no roaming agreement
has been arranged, a network operator may interrupt and
request information on how you intend to pay for the call.
Service Types
In each wireless service area there are usually two service
providers referred to as type A and type B. When you first
set up your wireless service account, your service provider
will inform you of which system you will be using (usually
type B). This is your home system. The other system (for
example, type A) is known as a non home-type system.
System choices
Note: If you have more than one phone number (NAM), your
choice affects only the currently selected NAM. See 'NAM
selection' on page 59.
Note: System choices may differ according to service provider.
• Home only - Your phone cannot roam. This means
you can make and receive calls in your home area
only. While roaming, No Service appears and you will
not be able to make or receive calls.
• Automatic A - Your phone searches for system A. If
system A is not available, it searches for an available
analog system.
• Automatic B - For most service providers, this is the
default selection. Your phone searches for system B. If
system B is not available, it searches for an available
analog system.
