Satellite Calls without a Full-Strength Signal
You can not make or receive a satellite call if your phone does not lock onto a
signal strong enough to establish full service. If you are receiving a signal but
it is not strong enough to make or receive calls (a half circle is displayed), you
can do the following:

call is pending for a short time or until you obtain

Satellite or GSM International Calls
When you make a call to any country different from the one in which you have
your subscription, whether you are in your home country or in a foreign coun-
try, you must use the international format: country code, national destination
code (AREA), and phone number.
To make an international call:
1
Press and hold the
0
key until the interna-
tional character
+
is displayed or enter the prefix
2
Enter the country code, the area code (without
the leading zero) and the phone number and
press
YES,
or recall the number from the phone
book
When you are roaming, your phone will automatically search for a valid net-
work. See “Roaming” on page 28.
When you store non-home country numbers in your phone book, be sure to
store them in international formats, + (plus sign), country code, national des-
tination code (area code), then the phone number.
Important!
All foreign phone numbers should be dialled as international
numbers no matter what country you are in, either by pressing and holding
down the 0 to generate the international prefix: (+) for the country you are in,
or by entering the prefix using the keypad. This applies to both Satellite and
GSM mode. These numbers should also be stored in international format in
your phone book.
Note!
If you dial the international prefix instead of generating the interna-
tional prefix by holding down the + key, the call will go to the home network
on your SIM card. This may not be the home network of the person you are
