CALL COSTS LIMIT SET BY A SERVICE PROVIDER
Your service provider can limit the cost of your calls to a certain amount
of charging units or units of currency. When the limited charging mode is
active, calls can be made only as long as the preset credit limit (call cost
limit) is not exceeded and you are in a system that supports call cost limit.
The number of remaining units is shown during a call and in standby
mode. When the charging units have expired, the note Call cost limit
reached is displayed. Contact your service provider for information on the
limited charging mode and charging unit prices.
Cost shown as charging units or currency
You can set the phone to show the remaining talk-time in charging units
or units of currency. For this, you may need the PIN2 code. See “Security”
on page 45.

and Units.

is shown. Key in the cost of your home system charging or credit unit

example, USD.
Note: When no more charging units or currency units are left, calls may
only be possible to the emergency number programed into your
phone (such as 911 or other official emergency numbers).
