■About the setting of network service
When you have signed up for network services, you can release/make the settings

Services]” or “Mobile Phone User’s Guide [Network Services]” before departure.

other party who uses the FOMA terminal 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/area 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]”.
