Nokia 8270 warranty Select System, Roaming, System choices

14) Select System

The System menu (Menu 5) allows you to customize the way your phone chooses a system in which to operate while you are “roaming” (using your phone outside your primary or “home” system). Your choice of a system affects the type and amount of charges you incur. By default, your phone is set to automatically search for the most cost-effective system while roaming. If your phone can’t find a preferred system, it uses a system based on the option you choose in the System menu.

Note: Before selecting an item in the System menu, contact your service provider to find out how your selection will affect your service charges.

Roaming

Roaming occurs when you use your phone outside its home area. While roaming, another service provider’s system handles your call. While roaming, the word Roaming and the roaming indicator ( ) appear on the Start screen.

System choices

If you have more than one phone number (NAM), your choice affects only the currently selected number. Select Menu 5 and select from the following:

•Home area: Your phone cannot roam. This means you can make and receive calls in your home area only. While roaming, No Service appears and you will not be able to make or receive calls.

•Automatic: Your phone searches for the most cost-effective system and will roam if a home area system is unavailable.

Note: System choices may differ, depending on service provider.
