in a non-preferred system, the roaming indicator (
appears.

System choices

Your phone will automatically try to use a preferred system.
If your phone fails to find a preferred system, then it will use
the selection you have chosen with this feature. Before you
select a system, contact your service provider to learn how
these changes may affect your phone bill. Items on the System
menu may differ depending on your service provider:
• Automatic - Use the home system. If unavailable,
use a non-home system.
• Automatic A - Use the home or preferred system.
If unavailable, use system A.
• Automatic B - Use the home or preferred system.
If unavailable, use system B.
• Home only or <service provider's name> - Use only
the home system. If unavailable, No service appears.
• Analog - Use the available analog network.
Note: If you turn your phone's power off then on, depending on
your service provider, the system may return to the default
selection.
Which system should you choose?
By default, your phone is set to automatically search for the
most cost-effective system when you are outside of your home
area. For example, if your home system is type A and you are
roaming, your phone will automatically try to use the local
home system (the type A system in your current location).
The type B system would be a non-home system.
However, in an area where no home or preferred systems are
available, use this menu to manually choose which system
your phone uses.
