2.On the Personal tab, tap Phone > Network tab.

3.Under Mode of operation select CDMA only from the drop-down menu.

CDMA Services

To access CDMA services and change their settings

1.On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap All Settings.

2.On the Personal tab, tap Phone > CDMA Services tab.

3.Select the service you want to use, then tap Get Settings.
