Uniden PCD1087 - Manual (Page 37)

If you see NSVC on the display for more than a few
seconds, the phone is an area that will not support operation
in the selected Mode. You must then choose another.
Modes A-ONLY and B-ONLY are used when you travel in
areas other than your home area and the cellular coverage
is strong wherever you go. If the cellular phone is out of the
service provider’s cellular coverage, NSVC is displayed. If
you are in a system opposite to your Home System, ROAM
is displayed.
HOME is used within your Home Area. It is the system you
are authorized on. When you are out of your Home Area,
NSVC is displayed.
A TO B and B TO A are used when you travel in areas
where cellular coverage is weak or split into several system
types. This allows you to avoid switching back and forth
manually, reducing the chances of missing calls. However,
you may incur double roaming charges.
Roaming
Many carriers (airtime providers) make arrangements with
carriers in other cities to allow use of mobile telephones in
areas other than your Home area. If you are traveling in an
area where cellular service is provided, and you wish to
use your cellular phone, check with your cellular service
company before leaving your Home area. They will give
you information about registering and operating your
cellular phone in a particular area.
In some cities, depending upon your cellular service
company, no registration will be required. You may dial
your phone as if you were traveling in your Home area.
However, if you call a number local to the area in which you
are roaming, first dial the area code of the local number (no
need to dial 1 first), then the rest of the phone number.
Keep in mind that calls to your Home area may incur long
distance charges.
Other areas will require advanced registration. with a major
credit card, or may require that al long distance calls be
dialed using a telephone credit card or other charge
method (collect, third telephone number). Your cellular
service company can give you the information before you
make the trip. If that is not possible, simply dialing a call
will, in many cases, provide needed information.
