Roaming in analog networks
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 (electronic 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 phone’s
IMEI 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.
