Understanding the Display Screen
The top line of the display is reserved for icons that
indicate network status, battery power, signal strength,
and more. The following table lists some display icons
and their descriptions.
Display icons
Signal strength: Always appears when your phone is
on and indicates the current signal strength. More lines
indicate a stronger signal.
No service indicator: Your phone cannot find a signal
because you’re outside a service area. You cannot make
or receive calls. Wait for a signal or move to an open area
to find a signal. This indicator always appears when you
first turn on your phone and disappears once service is
located.
Roaming indicator: Your phone is outside your home
area. While roaming, another wireless provider may be
handling your call. The service rate for the call may be
higher than those made from within your home area.
Please refer to Verizon Wireless for roaming rates.
In Use: Indicates a call in progress. When dialing a
number, this icon flashes until the call connects.
New Message (Text): You have one or more unread
text messages in your inbox. You are notified of a new text
message by animations and sound.
New Message (Voice): You have one or more unread
voice messages in your voice mailbox. (Only applicable on
Verizon Wireless Network.) You are notified of a new voice
message by animations and sound.
