Network settings Public system selection Note: This feature may not be available. Contact your service provider for details. When your phone leaves its home system, it is roaming. Like other public systems, your home system is either type A or B. When your phone is roaming, it can search for home-type systems (same type as your home system) or non-home-type systems (opposite type as your home system). Also, your service provider has programmed a list of preferred systems into your phone. These are systems with which your service provider has roaming agreements. Use Menu 4 4 7 to tell your phone how to choose a public system (network). Your selection remains active until you change it. • Any system When service is not available in your home system, the phone searches for a preferred system of either type, then a hometype system, then a non-home-type system. • Home type When service is not available in your home system, the phone searches for a home-type system, preferred first. • Nonhome type The phone searches for a non-home-type system only, preferred first (home system is not used). • Home only The phone uses its home system only (that is, it will not roam). Roaming This is a term used to indicate that your phone is not in its home area. Calls made or received while roaming are usually more expensive than calls made in your home area. When roaming in some systems outside your home area, your phone may not be recognized by the host system (the one you're travelling in) and you may not be able to place a call. Contact your service provider for more specific information on how roaming works with your phone, as well as any information on coverage limitations. [ 67 ]
