• GSM preferred —This option is useful if your home system is GSM and you travel to
a country or region where iDEN is also available. Your phone will always search for
GSM networks first. If a GSM network is not found, your phone will then search for an
iDEN network.
• iDEN only — This option is useful when you are in an area that is covered by iDEN
and GSM networks, but you want to use iDEN. Your Smartphone attempts to register
only on iDEN networks. This is the optimal setting you should set your Smartphone to
when in a Nextel iDEN service region.
• GSM only — This option is useful when you are in an area that is covered by iDEN
and GSM, but you want to use GSM. Your Smartphone attempts to register only on
GSM networks. This is the optimal setting you should set your Smartphone to when in
a region with only GSM carriers.
• Roam — This option is useful when you are in an overlapping system-coverage area
and have no preference for either the iDEN or the GSM network. Your Smartphone will
switch between iDEN and GSM until it finds an acceptable network.
Note: Be aware that some features that are supported by the Nextel iDEN network
are not supported when you connect to a GSM network.

Searching for a Network
While you are on a GSM network, you can perform an automatic or manual search for
available networks. A manual search allows you to view the available networks and
make a selection rather than use the network automatically selected by the Nextel
Worldwide Service.
Note: Your phone will automatically attempt to register with networks that have
agreements with Nextel. By manually selecting a network, you may choose a
network that does not have an agreement with Nextel or does not offer optimal
coverage in that area.
