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.

By setting your phone to use a home or preferred system, 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 determined 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.
