Roaming
What is Roaming?
Roaming lets you use your r500 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
— Your Wireless Provider’s Preferred Roaming List (PRL) of networks
is used to acquire service. If no preferred networks are found, any digital system is
acquired.
