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, so the service rate for the call is usually higher than the rate for calls made within your home area. While roaming, the word Roaming and the roaming indicator ( ) appear on the Start screen. 14 Note: In some systems, you may need to have a roaming agreement to place a call. If no roaming agreement has been arranged, a network operator may interrupt and request information on how you intend to pay for the call. Service types In each wireless service area there are usually two service providers, referred to as type A and type B. When you first set up your wireless service account, your service provider will inform you of which system you will be using (usually type B). This is your home system. The other system (for example, type A) is known as a non-home-type system. [ 62 ]

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, so the service
rate for the call is usually higher than the rate for calls made within your
home area. While roaming, the word
Roaming
and the roaming indicator
(
) appear on the Start screen.
Note:
In some systems, you may need to have a roaming agreement to
place a call. If no roaming agreement has been arranged, a network
operator may interrupt and request information on how you intend
to pay for the call.
Service types
In each wireless service area there are usually two service providers, referred
to as type
A
and type
B
. When you first set up your wireless service account,
your service provider will inform you of which system you will be using
(usually type
B
). This is your home system. The other system (for example,
type
A
) is known as a non-home-type system.
