Roaming
What is Roaming?
Roaming lets you use your The r500 phone when you travel
outside of your Wireless Provider’s coverage area. The Roaming
icon ( ) appears in the top line of the display when Roaming is
active, and extra charges may apply when making or receiving
calls.
Note:
Some features may be unavailable while roaming. Roaming also
consumes additional power from the battery requiring more frequent
recharging. Contact your Wireless Provider for more information about
Roaming.
How Roaming Works
Roam Option lets you set roaming preferences if you move in and
out of your home network. The following roaming options are
available:
•
Home only
— Your phone is available for normal operation only in the
designated coverage area.
•
Automatic
— Your Wireless Provider’s Preferred Roaming List (PRL) of
networks is used to acquire service. If no preferred networks are
found, any digital system is acquired.
Note:
For more information, refer to “System Select” on page 119.
