About roaming and international roaming

In most cases, your BlackBerry smartphone automatically connects to the appropriate wireless network when you travel
outside your wireless service provider's coverage area. Sometimes you might have to provide login information before you
can access a wireless network. When you roam, the triangular roaming indicator appears at the top of the home screen.
If your smartphone requires a SIM card, your wireless service provider might need to set up your SIM card with roaming
services before you can roam.
If your smartphone normally connects to a CDMA network and your smartphone supports international roaming, you might
need to get a SIM card that is set up for international roaming from your wireless service provider. Your phone number
stays the same when you travel internationally.
For more information about roaming and roaming fees, contact your wireless service provider.
