Network Selection Menu
Network Selection
In order for the phone to make and receive phone calls, it must register with one of the available
networks. These can be either GSM 900, GSM 1800 or combined GSM 900/1800 types of
network.
Your phone automatically searches for the last network used. If, for any reason, this network is
unavailable, your phone will attempt to register with a new network.
When your phone needs to register with a new network, it will generate a sorted list of
networks.The network list is sorted in the following order:
• The Home network.
• Networks from a preferred list.
• A random list of other networks found above a certain signal strength.
• All remaining networks in descending order of signal strength. Any forbidden networks,
stored in the SIM card, will not be included in the second list.
Change Band
This option allows you to choose the band you prefer. If your phone is not able to connect to a
network after changing band, use Available Networks.
