NAM selection

The Number Assignment Module (NAM) is the phone’s
storage location containing the assigned phone
number(s) and other system information. This
information is entered by your service provider when
programming your phone when your phone is first
activated.

In most systems, your phone can be activated in up to 2
different service areas (e.g. one in Dallas and another in
Chicago), each giving your phone a different phone
number or account.

Only one number can be active at a time. When you select
a phone number, you’re also selecting which system
you’re using as your home system (

see “System Selection” on

page 65

). The first phone number displayed with this menu

is the currently selected number.

Note: It may not be necessary to have two NAMs for your phone if
your service provider has service or roaming agreements for each
area in which you wish to use your phone. Contact your service
provider for details.
