Set Network Mode Options; Make And Receive Worldwide Calls - Samsung Galaxy S 5 User Manual

Set Network Mode Options

In order to roam internationally on different types of network technology (CDMA/LTE and
GSM/UMTS), you may need to set your phone's network mode to allow use of a specific technology.
Once set, your phone is designed to enter global roaming mode automatically when you activate
your Sprint Worldwide service, meaning that it should automatically connect to an appropriate
CDMA/LTE or GSM/UMTS network when you travel.
To set your network mode options manually:
1. From home, tap
2. Tap Mobile networks > Network mode to configure options:
To allow connections to CDMA or LTE networks only, touch CDMA or LTE/CDMA.
l
To allow connections to GSM or UMTS networks only, touch GSM/UMTS.
l
To allow connections to available CDMA/LTE or GSM/UMTS networks, touch Automatic.
l
This is the recommended setting for international use.
