Enhanced Roaming
Cellular systems are identified by a number called Sys-
tem Identifier or SID. Your phone is equipped with a Pre-
ferred Roaming List (PRL) which can be programmed
by your Carrier to take advantage of the families of cel-
lular system (SIDs) that your Carrier owns, or has spe-
cial billing arrangements with, in different cities.

displayed on your phone. Outside of the Home System

the phone’s display may appear the same as when op-
erating in the Home System.
