Network Selection
When you travel, you may have to change the phone system
setting. You can choose from six phone system settings:
• Last active—useful when you move between GSM and iDEN
systems that do not overlap, for example, travelling between
Paris and New York. If your i2000 can not locate the last
system, for example, GSM, it attempts to locate the other
system, iDEN.
• Roam all—useful when you are in an overlapping system-
coverage area and have no preference for either system. This
selection causes your i2000 to switch between GSM and iDEN
until it finds an acceptable network.
• GSM preferred—useful if your home system is GSM and you
are in a country or region where iDEN coverage is also
available. Your i2000 always searches first for GSM networks.
• GSM only—useful when you are in an area that is covered by
iDEN and GSM, but you want to use GSM. Your i2000
attempts to register only on GSM networks.
• iDEN preferred—useful if your home system is iDEN and you
are in a country or region where GSM coverage is also
available. Your i2000 always searches first for iDEN networks.
• iDEN only—useful when you are in an area that is covered by
iDEN and GSM, but you want to use iDEN. Your i2000
attempts to register only on iDEN networks.
