•ROAMING
The term roaming indicates that your phone is not in its home area. Your
service provider programs a list of preferred systems into your phone.
These are systems with which your service provider has roaming
agreements. Your phone looks for these systems when you’re roaming.
While roaming in some systems, your phone may not be recognized by the
host system (the system in the location where you’re travelling). If that
happens, you may not be able to place a call.
Contact your service provider for more specific information on coverage
limitations and how roaming works.
ROAMING INDICATORS
When your phone begins roaming, the phone beeps once and may display
the word ROAM on your phone’s screen (depending on how roaming
works with your phone).
If your phone is not roaming, it either displays the word HOME or the
name of your service provider.
