Icon Meaning
The Roaming Status indicator shows whether you are roaming onto the network of a service
provider other than your own.
When the indicator is off (gray), you are within the local coverage area of your service
provider. When the indicator is on (solid black), you are in a “preferred” roaming area.
When the indicator is blinking, you are within the coverage area of a CDMA network but not
in a “preferred” roaming area.
Note: Your coverage area and account charges depend upon your service provider and the
type of account you have. There may be surcharges for roaming service that vary based on
whether you are in a preferred or non-preferred roaming area. If there is no roaming
agreement between your service provider and the local carrier, you may be unable to
complete calls.
The Connection Indicator icon signifies that a connection is established. The icon flashes
while you are in the process of connecting and remains static once you are connected.
If the Connection Indicator icon is dimmed, there is no connection, nor is a connection
attempt in progress.
