Accessing Your Email and Data Services on CDMA Networks
Since your device is set to Global mode by default, it automatically detects CDMA
networks. If a data service is available on a CDMA network, you do not need to manually
set your device to CDMA mode. You also do not need to select the specific carrier.
Selecting a specific carrier is necessary only for providers on the GSM network.
If you changed the network mode setting of your device to GSM-only mode while you are
traveling, you need to set it back to Global mode or CDMA-only mode to access CDMA
data services.
To change the network mode from GSM to Global or CDMA-only mode:
1. Tap
Start > Settings > Menu > Phone Network Mode.
2. From the
Mode of operation drop-down list, select Global or CDMA only.
3. Tap
ok.
