Choosing your phone number
(NAM selection)
Your service provider can set up your phone to have two
phone numbers that are activated in different service
areas—for example, one number for the Dallas area and one
number for the Chicago area.
A number assignment module, or NAM, consists of a phone
number and network information that the service provider
programs into your phone. When you select a NAM, you’re
not only selecting a phone number, you’re also selecting a
home system in which you will not be charged roaming fees.
Use Menu 4 4 5 to select a NAM.
Send own number
Send own number
is a network service that lets you hide
your phone number from a person you are calling who has
Caller ID. (If for some reason your network prevents phone
numbers from being displayed, you may be able to use this
feature to show your number to the person you are calling.)
Contact your service provider for feature codes for showing/
hiding your phone number.
Standard method
1
Dial the feature code followed by the number you want
to call.
2
Press Call.
Example
: If the feature code to hide your number is *67 and
the number you want to dial is (214) 555-1234, dial
*672145551234, then press Call.
Menu method
You can save the feature code given to you by your service
provider so that Send own number appears in your phone’s
menu, and then use Menu 4 4 3 to use this feature (see
‘Network feature setting’ on page 30).
