Getting Started
How To Use This User Guide
Read this guide first. The best way to ensure that you
have all the information you need is to read this guide all
the way through and refer to the enclosed insert as
needed. Some instructions required are specific to the
phone you have chosen and are included in the insert only;
everything else you need is included in this guide.
Together, this guide and the enclosed insert, provide
all the information you need to use your Roadpost
International Cellular service.
Note: In some instances, this guide will refer to more than
one command.
Example: “Press <OK> or <Send>”. Some phones will use
a key labeled “Send”, while others will use “OK” to place
calls. You should always refer to the labeled picture of your
phone and use the option that is shown.
For more information on all the features available to you,
Roadpost recommends reading this user guide in
conjunction with your phone manufacturer’s user guide.

Changing Band Frequency
Your tri-band phone can be used in multiple destinations,
including North America, so that you only need to take one
phone when you travel.
Your model of phone may detect the correct band
automatically. If not, refer to the insert provided for
instructions on manually selecting the correct band.
Use 900/1800 for most of Europe, Asia and Africa.
Use 1900 for North America, most of South America and
the Caribbean.
Your International Phone Number
Your phone number is made up of a number of pieces
referred to in this Guide:
Charging Your Phone
Before you are able to use your phone, ensure that the
phone’s batteries are charged. Be sure to do this before
leaving for your destination. Should the batteries require
charging, connect your charging cable to your handset,
and insert the plug into a suitable power source.
Your SIM Card
Your SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module) is the key
to your Australia Service. This small chip contains all the
information you store on your phone. Your phone comes
ready-to-use, with your SIM card in place.

Use While Driving
Be sure to check local regulations before using your phone
while driving. Roadpost recommends that you always use
a headset while driving. For your convenience and safety,
headsets are included with all rentals and subscriptions.
Emergency Services
In Australia use 112 as their emergency service number.
Check with your travel agent or hotel concierge for the
emergency information in the country you are traveling to.
Service Inconsistencies
While your service is based in Australia, you can also use
your Roadpost phone in more than 200 other networks
around the world. Since a variety of local networks provide
this service, there may be occasional inconsistencies in
coverage. While such inconsistencies are rare, Call Display,
Text Messaging, Data, and Fax features may occasionally
be affected.
Just like your domestic cellular service in North America,
your signal will be the strongest when traveling in major
cities and more densely populated areas. When traveling
in rural, or more secluded areas, you may experience less
consistent coverage.
For more information on services supported in the country
you are traveling to, contact Roadpost Customer Care.

while in Australia, you should dial 0 410 054 123 <OK> or
<Send>
International calls
Dial the number beginning with the <+> sign (refer to the
insert provided to obtain the <+> on your phone). Include
the country code, and press <OK> or <Send> (the

America, dial +1 905 272 5665 <OK> or <Send>

the leading ‘0’, and omit the country code.

Troubleshooting

A: Some models of phone may offer the ability to lock your
keypad to prevent accidental use. Refer to the included
insert to see if your phone has this feature and follow the
instructions to unlock it. If your phone does not offer this
feature, or continues to read “Locked”, please call
Roadpost Customer Care.
Q: I am having problems with call quality. What do I do?
A: Because cellular signals travel in straight lines, hills,
mountains, tunnels, underground parking garages, extreme
weather conditions and other such interference, can affect
call quality. Check the signal strength indicator on the
phone display. If it is low, move to an area where the signal
strength is better and try your call again.
Note: For any other questions, or additional help using your
phone, call Roadpost Customer Care. Dial +1 905 272 5665
– a free call from your Roadpost phone.
Troubleshooting
Q: I cannot receive/make calls, my phone has no
signal, or my display reads “searching”. What do I
do?
A: In any of these cases, there are a number of steps that
you can perform to restore service:
1. Band Frequency selection – Some phones may not
detect the correct band frequency automatically.
Use the instructions in the insert provided to ensure
the band frequency is set for the country you are
traveling in. (If your phone detects the band
automatically, no instructions will be provided.)
Use 900/1800 for most of Europe, Asia and Africa.
Use 1900 for North America, most of South America
and the Caribbean.
2. Network selection – If the cellular network you are
currently on is busy, it may prevent incoming or
outgoing calls. Follow the steps included in the insert
provided to manually change the network.
3. Changing the phone’s line – Some phones may
offer multiple lines for use; if your phone has
multiple lines, always use “Line 1”. Follow the
instructions provided in the insert to manually change
your phone’s line. (If your phone does not have
multiple lines, no instructions will be provided.)
Q: My phone displays “SIM Error”. What do I do?
A: If your phone displays the message “SIM Error”, check
that the SIM card is inserted correctly, and that the gold
surface of the SIM chip is clean. If it still does not work,
contact Roadpost Customer Care from another phone.
Q: My phone displays “Locked”. What do I do?
