Understand your phone 13
Your phone’s display
The top of your phone’s display
contains icons that indicate network
status, battery power, signal
strength, connection type, and more.
The following list contains icons that
may appear in your display.
Display screen icons
Signal strength: Always displays when your phone is on
and indicates the current signal strength. The more lines
displayed, the higher the received signal strength.
Ringer Silent: The ringer has been set to Silent using the
volume key on the side of the phone.
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. This indicator displays when your phone is turned on
but turns off when a service signal is located.
Roam: Extended roaming indicator. Roaming occurs when
you use your phone outside your home area. While roaming,
a wireless provider's system other than Verizon Wireless
handles your call, so the service rate for the call may be
higher than those made within your home area. Please refer
to information from Verizon Wireless on roaming rates.
Text message: Indicates that you’ve received a new text
message. You’re also notified by a visual, audible, and
VibeTonz™ alert according to your assigned preferences.
