How to use the BlackBerry
Smartphone Overseas

Confirming network connectivity

While roaming on a variety of networks around the world,
the signal you receive on your BlackBerry smartphone may
vary. An icon at the top right of your screen will confirm
the type of signal you are currently receiving:
• GPRS/EDGE (all in caps) indicates that you have a full
signal that will allow you to send and receive emails as
well as make and receive calls.
• gsm, gprs or edge (lower case) will allow you to make
and receive calls, but not send email.

Changing networks

If you are not receiving a full GPRS signal, the network you
are currently roaming on (network name is shown on
screen) may not allow data transmission.
1. Click (Options) using the trackwheel.
2. Select Network to view the network you are currently
on.
Note: This screen will also display the current scan
mode. Ensure that your scan mode is set to 'Manual' so
that you can control which network you are using.
Highlight the current scan mode and click the
trackwheel. Select 'Change Option' and select 'Manual'.
3. Click on Scan for Available Networks.
4. Highlight the network you wish to use and click the
trackwheel. Click on Select Network.

steps in the above section each time your device is
powered on to ensure that you are always roaming on
GPRS networks.
