Connecting to the Network

After successfully entering your PIN code, your phone searches for an available GSM network. The network search is automatic and may take a few seconds.

You are ready to make and receive calls when the network operator's name and the signal strength icon appears on the display.

Strong signal ↔ Weak signal ↔ No service

If you cannot obtain service

If you cannot obtain network service the reception strength may be too weak. Move to a higher elevation, a window or an open space and make sure that there is nothing obstructing the antenna.

Roaming

If you are out of range of your “Home” network operator, especially when abroad, another network operator may be selected automatically, subject to signal strength and roaming agreements between network operators. Contact your network operator/service provider for details.
