Traveling Between Systems
TRAVELING BETWEEN SYSTEMS
When you travel, you may have to change the phone system setting. You can choose from six phone system settings:
•Last active—useful when you move between iDEN and GSM systems that do not overlap, for example, traveling between New York and Paris. If your i2000plus phone cannot locate the last system, for example, iDEN, it attempts to locate the other system, GSM.
•Roam—useful when you are in an overlapping system-coverage area and have no preference for either system. This selection causes your i2000plus phone to switch between iDEN and GSM until it finds an acceptable network.
•iDEN preferred—useful if your home system is iDEN and you are in a country or region where GSM coverage is also available. Your i2000plus phone always searches first for iDEN networks.
•iDEN only—useful when you are in an area that is covered by iDEN and GSM, but you want to use iDEN. Your i2000plus phone attempts to register only on iDEN networks.
•GSM preferred—useful if your home system is GSM and you are in a country or region where iDEN coverage is also available. Your i2000plus phone always searches first for GSM networks.
•GSM only—useful when you are in an area that is covered by iDEN and GSM, but you want to use GSM. Your i2000plus phone attempts to register only on GSM networks.

Searching for a Network
While you are on a GSM network, you can perform an automatic or manual search for available networks. A manual search allows you to view the available networks and make a selection rather than use the network automatically selected by the phone.
