Your service provider may have programmed a list of 
preferred systems into your SIM card. Your phone may 
search for systems in this list when service is not available 
in your home system.
The analog system selection feature allows you to request 
the order in which your phone looks for available systems.
Choosing a system-selection method
Use 
Menu
4 4 2 to tell your phone how to select analog 
systems.
Note: Using 
Home only
 or 
Pref. system
 is usually the most 
economical choice.
Pref. system
If service is not available in your home 
system, the phone searches for a preferred system of type A 
or B, then a home-type system, then a non-home-type 
system.
Home type
If 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, preferred first.
Home only
The phone uses its home system only (that is, it 
will not roam).
Note: In some areas, the wireless system automatically 
recognizes roaming phones. In other areas, you need to 
contact the service provider before the system can recognize 
your phone. The operator needs to know your phone number, 
your phone's IMEI or your analog module’s SN (serial number), 
and how you plan to pay for your calls. There is normally an 
additional charge for roaming calls.
Your phone’s IMEI is located on the back, under the battery. 
Your analog module’s SN is located on the back of the 
module. Your IMEI/SN can normally be read over the air by 
roaming wireless service providers when you call them to 
register your roaming presence on their wireless network.
