Placing Worldwide Calls
Placing international calls has never been easier. The phone and Nextel Worldwide
Service include access to multiple networks so you can get connected and stay
connected. Use “+ Dialing” when making calls from one country to another, or within a
foreign country. To place an international call using the “+ Dialing” feature, see “+
Dialing” on page 76.
+ Dialing
+ Dialing lets you quickly place an international call without entering the local
international access code. + Dialing can be used for country-to-country calls as well as
local or long distance calls in a foreign country.

Setting the Way Your Phone Searches for
Networks
When you are traveling internationally, you may want to configure the phone to search
for a specific network or enable it to select the best network. You do this using the iDEN/
GSM Selection setting.
There are six options available:
Note: Your phone comes programmed with Last active as the default setting. This is
the recommended setting, which reduces network registration time.
• Last active — This option enables the phone to switch between iDEN and GSM
systems that do not overlap. For example, you send or receive calls on an iDEN
network while in New York. Then you travel to Paris. Your phone will first search for an
iDEN network. If it cannot locate one, it will automatically search for a GSM network.
Your Smartphone will always register on the last active mode.
• iDEN preferred — This option is useful if your home system is iDEN and you travel to
a country or region where GSM coverage is also available. Your Smartphone always
searches first for iDEN networks. If an iDEN network is not found, your phone will then
search for a GSM network.
