area to try and find a signal. The no service indicator always
appears when you turn on your phone and disappears once
service is located.
Roam : Extended roaming indicator. Roaming occurs when
your phone is outside the home area. While roaming, a
wireless provider's system other than MetroPCS may be
handling your call, so the service rate for the call may be
higher than those a call within your home area. Please refer
to information from MetroPCS on roaming rates.
New Message : Indicates that you’ve received a new voice,
text, page or web alert message. You’re also notified by a

Vibrate mode : Indicates your phone is in vibrate mode
(ringer is silent).

becomes very low, a flashing empty battery icon displays
and the phone sounds an audible alert, which indicates your
phone is about to shut down.
