Choosing your phone number (NAM selection)

Your service provider can set up your phone to have two phone numbers that are activated in different service areas—for example, one number for the Dallas area and one number for the Chicago area.

A number assignment module, or NAM, consists of a phone number and network information that the service provider programs into your phone. When you select a NAM, you’re not only selecting a phone number, you’re also selecting a home system in which you will not be charged roaming fees.

Use Menu 4 4 5 to select a NAM.

Send own number

Send own number is a network service that lets you hide your phone number from a person you are calling who has Caller ID. (If for some reason your network prevents phone numbers from being displayed, you may be able to use this feature to show your number to the person you are calling.) Contact your service provider for feature codes for showing/ hiding your phone number.

Standard method

1Dial the feature code followed by the number you want to call.

2Press Call.

Example: If the feature code to hide your number is *67 and the number you want to dial is (214) 555-1234, dial *672145551234, then press Call.

Menu method

You can save the feature code given to you by your service provider so that Send own number appears in your phone’s menu, and then use Menu 4 4 3 to use this feature (see ‘Network feature setting’ on page 30).
