This chapter describes how you select a different net-
work when you are out of range of your home service
provider’s network.
About Choosing 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. You can choose a different network,
provided your service provider has an agreement allow-
ing you to use the network. 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. For each network that is found, a status indi-
cator tells you whether the network is available or for-
bidden.
See the list below for a description of the status indica-
tion:
