with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that it
supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY
device will connect via a special cable that plugs into your
phone’s headset jack. If this cable was not provided with your
TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase
the connector cable.

When establishing your wireless service, please call your
service provider via the state Telecommunications Relay
Service (TRS) by first dialing . Then provide the
state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when
received by public safety answering points (PSAPs) rendering some
communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related
to TTY equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought
to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community
are currently working to resolve this.

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off
the available network.Your new dual-band/ tri-mode

LG150 by LG works anywhere on the available network and
allows you to roam on other analog and 1900 and 800 MHz
digital networks where roaming agreements have been
implemented with other carriers.

This section explains how roaming works as well as special
features that let you manage your roaming experience.

LX150_VNO Phone Guide_1.0.qxd 12/27/06 2:37 PM Page 66

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 67

Understanding Roaming

Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen

Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re
off the available network. Anytime you are roaming, the
phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If you are roaming on a
digital system, the roaming icon will be displayed along with
the text – Digital Roam – . If you are roaming on an analog
system, the roaming icon will be displayed along with the text

– Analog Roam – .

Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the available network,

always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

When you’re roaming on other digital networks, your call
quality and security will be similar to the quality you receive
when making calls on the available network. However, you
may not be able to access certain features,
such as data service.

Note:If you’re on a call when you leave the available network and enter an

area where roaming is available , your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in
an area where you think network service is available, turn your phone off
and on again to reconnect to the available network.

Roaming

68 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Roaming on Analog Networks

When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a
quality similar to that provided by other analog carriers today.
Although some features, such as data service, will be
unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access
voicemail. If you are accustomed to data service, you may
notice some of the following differences when using analog
service:

䢇

You are more likely to experience static, crosstalk,
fade-out, and dropped calls.

䢇

Some features which are standard on the available
network, such as call waiting, data service, and direct
international dialing, may be unavailable.

䢇

Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you
are roaming, you will not receive notification until you
return to the available network. (See “Checking for
Voicemail Messages While Roaming” on page 69.)

䢇

There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
cloning) that exist with conventional analog services
today.

䢇

Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you
will need to recharge it more often when you use your
phone for analog roaming.

Note: When usingyour phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm.

This is normal for analog operation.

LX150_VNO Phone Guide_1.0.qxd 12/27/06 2:37 PM Page 68

Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience 69

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the available network, you may not
receive on-phone notification of new voicemail messages.
Callers can still leave messages, but you will need to
periodically check your Voicemail for new messages if you are
in a roaming service area for an extended period of time.

To check your voicemail while roaming:

1. Dial 1 + area code + your phone number.

2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press .

3. Enter your passcode at the prompt and follow the voice

prompts.

When you return to the available network, voicemail
notification will resume as normal.

Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

Your phone allows you to control your roaming capabilities. By
using the Roaming menu option, you can determine which
signals your phone accepts.

Set Mode

Choose from three different settings on your dual- band phone
to control your roaming experience.

To set your phone’s roam mode:

1. Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > SetMode.

2. To select an option, highlight it and press .

Roaming

䡲

Automatic seeks network service. When network
service unavailable, the phone searches for an
alternate system.

䡲

Home Only

allows you to access the available
network only and prevents roaming on other
networks.

䡲

Roaming Only forces the phone to seek a roaming
system. The previous setting (Home Only or
Automatic) is restored the next time the phone is
turned on.

Using Call Guard

Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are
roaming off the available network: the onscreen roaming icon
and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to manage your
roaming charges by requiring an extra step before you can
place or answer a roaming call. (This additional step is not
required when you make or receive calls while on the available
network.)

To turn Call Guard on or off:

1. Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > Call Guard.

2. Highlight Onor Off and press .

Note: Voice dialing and speed dialing are not available when you are

roaming with Call Guard enabled.

To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:

1. From standby mode, dial 1 + area code + the seven-digit

number and press . (You can also initiate a call from
the Contacts, Call History, or Messaging.)

2. Select Roam Call.

LX150_VNO Phone Guide_1.0.qxd 12/27/06 2:37 PM Page 70

To answer incoming roaming calls with Call Guard on:

1. Press . (A message will be displayed notifying you

that roaming charges will apply.)

2. Select Answer.

Note: If the Call Guard feature is set to On, you need to take extra steps to

make and receive roaming calls.

Using Data Roam Guard

When Data Roam Guard is enabled, you will be asked if you
want to continue using your browser or other online
applications when you are in a data roaming area. When Data
Roam Guard is turned off, your phone will establish or
maintain a data connection in a data roaming area without
asking you for permission.

To turn Data Roam Guard on or off:

1. Select Menu > Settings > Roaming > Data Roam Guard.

2. Highlight Always Ask or Never Ask Againand press .
