Network Selection
You can choose which method your phone uses to connect
you to a foreign GSM network when operating outside your
home country (roaming). Normally you would select
Automatic mode (see below) but you can choose “Manual”
or “Periodic” and force a search for available networks or
request network reselection. If you attempt to select a
network with which your home network does not have a
roaming agreement “NETWORK NOT ALLOWED” will
appear on display.
Operating Modes
●
there is a choice of three operating modes
AUTOMATIC - your phone will search for the home
network first then a network from the preferred list stored
on the SIM, in list order (refer to page 5.16 to edit the list)
and if both these fail, any network which has a roaming
agreement with your home network
MANUAL - if the search for your selected network fails,
the phone will display a list of available networks for you
to choose from
PERIODIC - this is similar to AUTOMATIC mode but is
particularly useful if you are in an area of the home
country where there is more than one network present
e.g. near a border. When the home network is
unavailable the phone will select a foreign network but
will continue to periodically search for the home network.
This ensures that you will be automatically connected to
