Service status area and counters
Figure 4-11: Full Mode view - service status and counters
The Service Status Dialog area displays messages related to the
status or progress of a connection.
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 connection 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.
