Setting Network
Preferences
When you turn on the phone, it searches for the last accessed network. If this
is not within range, you may use another network, provided your home net-
work has an agreement that allows you to do so. This is called roaming.
The order of preference in which the phone selects a network is determined by
a list of preferred networks on your SIM card.
The Networks menu includes a number of functions that let you determine
how the phone searches for a network. You may also select a network yourself
from those within range.
1. Scroll to Networks , Y E S , Select net , Y E S .
2. The message Please Wait is displayed briefly. The display then shows either:
• the name of a network, followed by the message Current , Preferred ,
Available or Forbidden . For an explanation of the message, see the table
below.
Instead of the full name of a country and a network, an abbreviation is
displayed. To see the full name of a network, press *.
• the message No network . There is no network within range.
3. If there is more than one network within range, you can scroll through the
network names and choose the network you want by pressing Y E S
