⽧ Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode

⽧ Controlling Roaming Charges Using Call Guard

Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off
the Nationwide your wireless Network.Your new dual band/

tri-mode LX125 by LG works anywhere on the Nationwide
your wireless Network and allows you to roamon other
analog and 1900 and 800 MHz digital networks where we’ve
implemented roaming agreements with other carriers.

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

LG LX125_STI (1.0).qxd 3/16/06 5:25 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 Nationwide your wireless Network. Any time you are
roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If you are
roaming on an analog system, the roaming icon will display
along with the text – Analog Roam – .

Roaming on Other Digital Networks

When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality
and security will be similar to the quality you receive when
making calls on the Nationwide your wireless Network.
However, you may not be able to access certain features, such
as your wireless web.

Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the Nationwide your

wireless Network and enter an area where roaming is
available ,
your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area
where you think your wireless Service is available, turn your
phone off and on again to reconnect to the Nationwide
your wireless Network.

Note: Unless your wireless service Plan includes roaming, you will

pay a higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.

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

Nationwide your wireless Network, always dial numbers
using 11 digits (1 + area code + number).

68 Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience

Roaming on Analog Networks

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

䢇

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

䢇

Some features which are standard on the enhanced
Nationwide your wireless Network, such as call waiting,
your wireless web, and direct international dialing, are
unavailable.

䢇

Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you
are roaming, you will not receive notification until you
return to the Nationwide your wireless 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 using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel

warm. This is normal for analog operation.

Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming

When you are roaming off the Nationwide your wireless
Network, you will 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 wireless Phone number.
