Understanding Roaming

Recognizing Icons on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re off the home network and whether your phone is operating in analog or digital mode. The following chart indicates what you’ll see depending on where you’re using your phone.

Roaming on Digital Networks

When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive when making calls on the home network. You may not be able to access certain features, such as Web.

Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a similar quality provided by other analog carriers today. Although some features, such as Web, will be unavailable, you can still make and receive calls. You will experience a few differences:

You are more likely to experience cross-talk, fade-out, and dropped calls.

Some features which are standard on the home network are unavailable.

There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.

Your battery needs recharging sooner when you use your phone for analog roaming.

Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the home network and enter an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog), your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect to the home network.

Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the handset may feel warm. This behaviour is normal for analog operation.

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Your phone allows you to control your ability to roam. By using the Roaming menu option, you can determine which signals your phone accepts.

Set Mode

Choose from four different settings on your dual band/tri mode phone to control your roaming experience:

1.Press to access the main menu.

2.Highlight Settings and press .

3.Highlight Roaming and press .

4.To select an option, select it and press .

Automatic: This setting seeks Service. When Service is unavailable, the phone searches for an alternate system.

Home Only: This setting allows you to access the home network only and prevents roaming on other networks.

Digital Only: This setting forces the phone to seek a digital roaming system.

Analog Only: This setting forces the phone to seek an analog roaming system. The previous setting (Automatic, Home Only, or Digital Only) is restored the next time the phone is turned on.
