Select A Public System - Nokia 8260 User Manual

Select a public system

When you take your phone outside its home system, the phone is said to
be "roaming." The phone can search for home-type systems—systems that
are the same type as your home system. Or, the phone can search for non-
home-type systems.
Note: The options described here may not be available for your phone.
See your service provider for information.
Your service provider programs a list of preferred systems into your phone.
These are systems with which your service provider has roaming
agreements. Your phone looks for these systems when you're roaming.
1 Press Menu 4 > 5 > 7 to tell your phone how to choose a public
system (network). Your selection remains active until you change it.
• Any system: When service is not available in your home system,
the phone searches for a preferred system of either type and then
searches for a home-type system. Then it searches for a non-
home-type system. The search continues until your phone finds a
system that can be used.
• Home type: When service is not available in your home system, the
phone searches for a home-type system first. However, if a non-
home-type system is found, then your phone will use this system.
• Nonhome type: The phone searches for a non-home-type system
only. The home-type system is not used.
• Home only: The phone uses only its home system. It will not roam.
