About the preferred network list

Create a list of preferred networks to specify which
networks are scanned first when you are traveling.
Your handheld attempts to connect to the
preferred networks based on the order in which
they appear in your preferred network list. If no
network in the list is available, your handheld
automatically roams to an appropriate network.
When adding networks to your preferred network
list, you can scan for, and add, a network that is
available in your current area, or you can add a
network that is already known to the handheld.
Note:
You might not be able to create a list of preferred
networks. For more information, contact your
service provider.
