Contact your mobile phone service provider for the following information and services:

•Have them activate your phone for International Roaming. Depending on your mobile phone service provider, there may be an additional charge for this feature.

NOTE: Once your HP iPAQ has been activated, it is set up permanently for you to use abroad.

•Check with your mobile phone service provider to make sure your HP iPAQ will work in the country you are going to and find out what kind of coverage you will receive.

•Find out if you will need to purchase another SIM card with the correct international format on it, or if your mobile phone service provider may be able to reformat the SIM card you already have into the correct format.

•Since your HP iPAQ has GPRS and EDGE capability, you may want to ask your mobile phone service provider for an up-to-date list of foreign operators that enable you to use data functionality abroad and added costs for the service plan. Once you know which network to connect to in the country you are traveling through, you can connect to that network manually using the

following instructions.

Changing Network Settings

You can change Network Settings by either of the following methods:

•From the Start menu, tap Settings > Phone > Network tab.

•From the Phone keypad, tap Tools > Options > Network tab. The GSM/GPRS connection your HP iPAQ is currently using will be listed at the top of the screen.

You can view available networks, determine the order in which your phone accesses another network if the current one is unavailable, and specify whether you want to change networks manually or automatically. The current network remains active until you change it, lose your signal, or change your SIM card.

Manually Selecting a Network

NOTE: HP highly recommends leaving the HP iPAQ set to its automatic network settings.

At times, you may want to manually select a different wireless network to use, instead of your HP iPAQ automatically doing this for you. For example, if you want to connect to a specific network for a specific purpose, and you are authorized to use this specific network, then complete the following instructions:

1.From the Phone keypad, tap Tools > Options > Network tab.
