Switching Between Numbers

Your phone can operate on two different home systems. If you travel often, you can have your phone programmed with two cellular numbers to reduce roaming. This feature allows you to change your active number to the one appropriate for the area you are in.

When your phone has two numbers, both are designated as your home system but only one number can be active at any given time. Calls are placed and received by the currently active number only. Each time you turn your phone ON, you’ll see a message in the display that indicates which phone number and home system are currently active:

Non-wireline type with phone number 1

A1

 

 

Non-wireline type with phone number 2

A2

 

 

Wireline with phone number 1

B1

 

 

Wireline with phone number 2

B2

 

 

In most areas, there are two competing cellular carriers, the wireline carrier and the non-wirelinecarrier. Your display indicates which type of carrier your home system is as follows:

non-wirelinecarrier—The display indicates that your home system is system A.

wireline carrier—The display indicates that your home system is system B.
