Your phone will automatically try to use a preferred system.
If your phone fails to find a preferred system, then it will use
the selection you have chosen with this feature. Before you
select a system, contact your service provider to learn how
these changes may affect your phone bill. Items on the
System
menu may differ depending on your service provider:
•
Automatic
- Use the home system. If unavailable,
use a non-home system.
•
Automatic A
- Use the home or preferred system.
If unavailable, use system
A
.
•
Automatic B
- Use the home or preferred system.
If unavailable, use system
B
.
•
Home only
or
<service provider’s name>
- Use only
the home system. If unavailable,
No service
appears.
•
Analog
- Use the available analog network.
Note: If you turn your phone's power off then on, depending
on your service provider, the system may return to the default
selection.
Which system should you choose?
By default, your phone is set to automatically search for the
most cost-effective system when you are outside of your
home area. For example, if your home system is type
A
and
you are roaming, your phone will automatically try to use
the local home system (the type
A
system in your current
location). The type
B
system would be a non-home system.
However, in an area where no home or preferred systems are
available, use this menu to manually choose which system
your phone uses.
By setting your phone to use a home or preferred system, it’s
possible for you to receive discounted roaming charges. Check
with your service provider to maximize use of this feature.
In non-preferred systems, normal roaming charges are
determined by the host system. Your phone is designed to
select a system most favorable to you concerning the cost
of the call and reception quality.
