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 Swiss 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
Most countries in Europe 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 Switzerland, you can also use your Roadpost phone in more than 150 other countries 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.
