Public system selection
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.
