About the preferred network list
Create a list of preferred networks. These networks are
scanned first when you are traveling.
Your BlackBerry® device attempts to connect to a
preferred network based on the order in which the
networks appear in your preferred network list. If no
network in the list is available, your device
automatically roams to an available network.
Note:
You might not be able to create a list of preferred
