Roaming
Number Mode
Number mode lets you use keypad number keys to enter numbers into a text
message, event, or e-mail address without going through repeated key presses as
with Alpha mode.
T9 Word Text Entry Mode
T9 Word recognizes a commonly used word that is represented by a sequence of
number key presses and inserts that word into your message. (For example, entering
‘8378’ would insert ‘test’ into your message.) Using T9 Word is much faster than the
more traditional text input method (Alpha mode) and requires only one press of a key
per letter of the word that you’re entering. [For example, in Alpha mode, you would
have to enter ‘83377778’ for ‘test’ instead of entering ‘8378’ for ‘test’ as in T9 Word
mode.]
Note: See “Entering Text in T9 Word Mode” on page 43 for more information about using the T9 Word text
input mode.
Roaming
What is Roaming?
Roaming lets you use your Alltel Snap phone when you travel outside of your
Wireless Provider’s coverage area. The Roaming icon (
) appears in the top line of
the display when Roaming is active, and extra charges may apply when making or
receiving calls.
Note: Some features may be unavailable while roaming. Roaming also consumes additional power from the
battery requiring more frequent recharging. Contact your Wireless Provider for more information
about Roaming.
How Roaming Works
Roam Option lets you set roaming preferences if you move in and out of your home
network. The following roaming options are available:
•
Home only — Your phone is available for normal operation only in the designated
coverage area.
•
Automatic-A — Your Wireless Provider’s Preferred Roaming List (PRL) of
networks is used to acquire service. If no preferred networks are found, any digital
“A” system is acquired.
•
Automatic-B — Your Wireless Provider’s PRL is used to acquire service. If no
preferred networks are found, any digital “B” system is acquired.
