Setting the Way Your Phone Searches for Networks

You may want to configure the phone to search for a specific network or enable it to select the best network. You do this using the iDEN/GSM Selection setting.

There are six options available:

Note: Your phone comes programmed with Last active as the default setting. This is the recommended setting, which reduces network registration time.

•Last active — This option enables the phone to switch between iDEN and GSM systems that do not overlap. For example, you send or receive calls on an iDEN network while at home. Then you travel to another country. Your phone will first search for an iDEN network. If it cannot locate one, it will automatically search for a GSM network. Your Smartphone will always register on the last active mode.

•iDEN preferred — This option is useful if your home system is iDEN and you travel to a country or region where GSM coverage is also available. Your Smartphone always searches first for iDEN networks. If an iDEN network is not found, your phone will then search for a GSM network.

•GSM preferred —T his option is useful if your home system is GSM and you travel to a country or region where iDEN is also available. Your phone will always search for GSM networks first. If a GSM network is not found, your phone will then search for an iDEN network.
