Nokia 918 owner manual Menu 6, Call Timers, Preferred type of network, the part, How to Roam

Depending on the programmed information, and the actual network availability in the area where you are using the phone, selecting the PREFER’D option has the effects described below.

Note: The PREFER’D option appears only if your service provider has programmed a list of preferred networks into your phone.

If you select PREFER’D, your phone may be able to select the preferred (e.g., low-cost billing rate) type of network. If service is available only within a non-

preferred type of network, the part of

will flash and only emergency calls to the emergency number programmed into your phone may be possible.

Note: When you select PREFER’D, and you’re within a non-preferred network, only calls to the emergency number programmed into your phone (e.g., 911 or another official emergency number) may be possible.

How to Roam

In some areas, the cellular system automatically recognizes roaming phones. In other areas, you need to contact the service provider before the system can recognize your phone. The operator needs to know your phone number, your phone's ESN (electronic serial number), and how you plan to pay for your calls. There is normally an additional charge for roaming calls.

Note: The ESN of your phone is located under the battery of the phone. (However, the ESN of your phone can normally be read over the air by the roaming cellular service providers when you call them to register your roaming presence on their cellular network.)

Menu 6, Call Timers

This menu lets you see approximately how much time you’ve spent in calls on your phone. You can also reset the timers to zero (except for the Life Timer).
