■About the setting of network service
When you have signed up for network services, you can operate to activate/deactivate
the network services from overseas except some operations.
Even with the network services that you can operate to activate/deactivate, you might
not be able to use the services depending on the overseas carrier. Also, some network
services are available only in Japan.
To use network services overseas, refer to “Mobile Phone User’s Guide [International
Services]” or “Mobile Phone User’s Guide [Network Services]” before departure.
■About SMS
Even during international roaming, you can send/receive SMS messages to and from the
other party who uses the FOMA phone in Japan or overseas or who uses overseas
carriers.
When you enter the destination address for sending an SMS message to the other
party who is using an overseas carrier, add “+” and a country code to the head of the
destination phone number. When the destination phone number begins with “0”,
however, enter the phone number except for the “0”. However, include “0” when
making a call to some countries or regions such as italy.
When the text of an SMS message sent to the other party who is using an overseas
carrier contains characters that do not support those on the destination phone, the
characters might not be correctly displayed. For details, refer to “Mobile Phone User’s
Guide [International Services]” or “Mobile Phone User’s Guide [Network Services]”.
