Public system selection
In each service area there are usually two service
providers. The service provider you sign up with, also
known as your home system, is of type A or B. Systems
that are of the same type as your home system are
called “home-type” systems; systems that are of the
opposite type as your home system are called
“non-home-type” systems.
Public system selection allows your phone to search for
other available systems when service is not available in
your home system.
You can also request the order in which your phone
looks for available systems.
Note: Using
Home only
or
Any system
is usually the most
economical choice.
1. Press Menu 4 5 2 (Settings - Network service - Public
system selection).
2. Scroll to one of the following choices:
Any system The phone searches for service in a
home-type system and if service is not found it will
then search for a non-home type system.
Home type The phone searches for a service in a
home-type system only.
Nonhome type The phone searches for a service in
a non-home type system only (doesn’t find a home
system since it doesn’t search for a home-type
system).
Home only Your phone uses its home system only
(that is, it will not roam).
3. Press OK.
