Phone Behavior by Mode

Preferred (Automatic) Modes

When you select a preferred mode, your phone
looks for that type of service first. If it cannot find
your preferred service, after about five minutes, it
switches automatically to your non-preferred
service. If the phone switches to a non-preferred
service, it checks at regular intervals (every 30
minutes) to see if your preferred service has
become available. The exact intervals that your
phone switches modes and checks for preferred
service varies depending on your SIM card. Check
with your service provider.
Note: The phone postpones a switch between
modes while you are in a call or are actively using
one of the phone’s features.

Always (Manual) Modes

If you select an always mode, your phone always
accesses that type of service. If you become
out-of-range in that mode, the phone does not
switch to the other type of service. You have to
manually switch it to the other mode by changing
the settings in this menu.
