Other Networks
This chapter describes how you select a different network when you are out of range of your
home service provider’s network.
Selecting a Network
When you turn on the phone, it selects its home net-
work. If this is not within range, you might not be able
to get any reception or, if you are abroad, you can
choose a different network, provided your service pro-
vider has an agreement allowing you to use the net-
work. This is called roaming.
When you select the Networks menu, the phone auto-
matically searches for all networks present in the area
you are in. Each network that is found, has a status in-
dication telling you whether the network is available
or forbidden.
See the following list for a description of the status in-
dication:
Display: Meaning :
Network and # home network

Network and A other available networks
Network and S other available networks (given
priority by your home service
provider)
Network and F forbidden networks
