Custom menu

Depending on your service provider, the options displayed for
the System menu may include the following:
Automatic means your phone will attempt calls to a home-
type system before trying to use a non-home type system.
[Service Provider's Name] means your phone will attempt
calls via your service provider's system only. If your service
provider's system is unavailable, your phone will display No
service.
Analog means your phone will attempt to place a call using
an available analog system.
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 hometype system (the type A system in your current lo-
cation). The type B system would be a non-home type
system.
However, in an area where no home or preferred systems are

available, use this menu to manually choose which system
your phone uses.
By setting your phone to use a home-type or a preferred sys-
tem, it's possible for you to receive discounted roaming
charges. Check with your service provider to maximize use of
this feature.
In non-preferred systems, normal roaming charges are de-
termined by the host system. Your phone is designed to
select a system most favorable to you concerning the cost of
the call and reception quality.
Note: When roaming in some systems, you may need to have a roam-
ing agreement in order to place a call. If no roaming agreement has
been arranged, a network operator may interrupt and request infor-
mation on how you intend to pay for the call.

system is your current home system.
