Using Your Device in GSM Mode
Entering GSM Mode
By default, your device operates in Global mode. With a SIM card installed, Global mode
allows your device to seamlessly switch from a CDMA network to a GSM network when you
are traveling in another country and there is no CDMA service available in your location.
If necessary, you can also manually change the network mode setting of your device to
GSM-only mode.
To change the network mode to GSM:
1. Tap
Start > Settings > Menu > Phone Network Mode.
2. From the
Mode of operation list, select GSM only.
3. Tap
ok.
Making and Answering Calls in GSM Mode
When traveling on international GSM networks while in GSM mode, you can place and
answer calls the same as in CDMA mode. Certain features and services are not available in
all countries.
Visit
www.sprint.com/sww for more information on services that are available while roaming.
Calling Emergency Numbers in GSM Mode
When traveling on international GSM networks while in GSM mode, you can place calls to
emergency services (even if your account is restricted or Call Barring is active.)
Note
While in the United States, your device will operate only in CDMA mode; domestic GSM networks
will not be accessible via this device.
