56 Setting Network Preferences
When you turn on the phone, it searches for the last accessed network.
If this is not within range, you may use another network, provided
your home network has an agreement that allows you to do so. This
is called
roaming
.
The order of preference in which the phone chooses a network is
determined by a list of preferred networks on your SIM card. Your
phone includes a number of functions that let you determine how it
searches for a network. You may also choose a network yourself from
those within range.
Display Information
The active network is marked with a filled button. The network
name and the following information is available in the display. Other
networks without icons are available.
Forbidden Networks
The names of the forbidden networks are stored on your SIM card.
If such a forbidden network is within range, it is left out when the
phone searches for a network (automatic search mode).
If your home network and a forbidden network come to an agreement
that allows you to use the forbidden network, you can select this
network even though the message
Forbidden
is displayed.
