Your phone’s display
The top line of the display is reserved for icons that indicate
such things as network status, battery power, signal strength,
and connection type. Other icons may appear elsewhere in
the display as well. The following table lists some of these
icons, along with their descriptions.
Display screen icons
Signal strength: Always appears when your phone is on
and indicates the current signal strength. More lines indicate
higher signal strength.
Service indicator: Indicates a call in progress. When
dialing a number, this icon flashes until the call connects.
No service indicator: Indicates your phone cannot find a
signal because you’re outside a service area. You cannot
make or receive calls. Wait for a signal or move into an open
area to try and find a signal. The no service indicator always
appears when you turn on your phone and disappears once
service is located.
Roam: Extended roaming indicator. Roaming occurs when
your phone is outside the home area. While roaming, a
wireless provider's system other than Verizon Wireless may
be handling your call, so the service rate for the call may be
higher than those a call within your home area. Please refer
to information from Verizon Wireless on roaming rates.
New Message: Indicates that you’ve received a new voice,
text, page or web alert message. You’re also notified by a
visual and audible alert.
1X Protocol: Indicates your phone is using the 1X protocol.
The 1X protocol is capable of high-speed data (3G).
IS95-2G Protocol: Indicates your phone is using the IS95-
2G protocol. This protocol is not capable of high speed data.
