Using Phone Features  35

Plus code dialing

You can customize how phone numbers that begin with a plus “+” sign will be dialed.

1.Tap Start > Settings > Personal tab > Phone > CDMA Services tab.

2.Select Plus Code Dialing, then tap Get Settings.

3.To place local and international calls from the United States, select Enable.

When you place calls, the “+” sign at the beginning of phone numbers that you dial will be replaced as follows:

•When you enter a long distance phone number that starts with “+1”, the “+” will be removed and the rest of the number will be dialed. For example, if you entered +1 416 123 4567, the number to be dialed will be 14161234567.

•When you enter an international phone number that starts with a “+” followed by a digit other than 1, the “+” will be replaced with the United States international dialing code, which is already set by default. For example, if you entered +58 212 123 4567, the number to be dialed will be 011582121234567.

4.To place calls to the United States from another country, select Disable and change the International dialing code to the one used by the country where you are in.

So when you dial a phone number that starts with “+” followed by any digit (0 - 9), the “+” will be replaced with the international dialing code of the country that you are in.

Tip If you modified the international dialing code, you can tap Reset to change it back to the default.

2.9  Using the HTC Touch Pro2 as a GSM Phone

Your wireless phone is set to CDMA mode by default. If you install a SIM card from Telus, the device automatically switches to Global mode, which enables you to roam internationally on GSM networks.

GSM international roaming

Your HTC Touch Pro2 can operate in a number of countries on both CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) and GSM (Global Systems for Mobile) networks. Use your phone in GSM only or Global mode while in countries serviced by GSM networks. You may want to use GSM only mode when you want to prevent the device from using CDMA roaming networks and to access GSM/UMTS services. See “GSM Settings” for more information on GSM/ UMTS services. If you want to enable the device to select the network that is most accessible for your locale, select Global.

Using the Telus GSM SIM card

To use your phone for international roaming, you must first install a GSM SIM card. Contact Telus for details, on purchasing a SIM card for your phone.
