Call forwarding (page 37), Call waiting (see page 36), Send own number
(page 41), and Voice privacy (page 15) are network services available
through your service provider or dealer.

When you subscribe to any of these services, your service provider or
dealer gives you a separate feature code to activate each service.
Deactivation codes are used to deactivate each service.

Once you store the appropriate code in your phone, the service appears as
a menu item. You can then use the menu to activate and deactivate these
services.

Each time you use a feature that requires a feature code, that code is sent
to the network to verify you’re using the correct feature code.

Note: If your phone has more than one phone number assigned to it, any
feature codes stored apply only to your primary phone number, or NAM 1.

See “NAM selection” on page 42 for details on NAM.

Public system selection

Note: This feature may not be available. Contact your service provider
for details.

When your phone leaves its home system, it is roaming. Like other public
systems, your home system is either type A or B. When your phone is
roaming, it can search for home-type systems (same type as your home
system) or non-home-type systems (opposite type as your home system).

Also, your service provider has programmed a list of preferred systems
into your phone. These are systems with which your service provider has
roaming agreements.

Use

Menu

4 4 7 to tell your phone how to choose a public system

(network). Your selection remains active until you change it.

Any system

When service is not available in your home system,

the phone searches for a preferred system of either type, then a home-
type system, then a non-home-type system.

Home type

When service is not available in your home system, the

phone searches for a home-type system, preferred first.

Nonhome type

The phone searches for a non-home-type system

only, preferred first (home system is not used).

Home only

The phone uses its home system only (that is, it will not

roam).

Roaming

This is a term used to indicate that your phone is not in its home area.
Calls made or received while roaming are usually more expensive than
calls made in your home area.

When roaming in some systems outside your home area, your phone may
not be recognized by the host system (the one you’re travelling in) and
you may not be able to place a call.

Contact your service provider for more specific information on how roaming
works with your phone, as well as any information on coverage limitations.

Roaming Indicators

When your phone begins roaming, it beeps once and may display

ROAM

,

depending on how roaming works with your phone. Contact your service
provider for more details. If your phone is not roaming (i.e. in its home
area) it either displays

HOME

or the name of the service provider.
