WHILE OUTSIDE OF THE U.S. ON A GSM NETWORK
You can tell that you are in a GSM market by a GSM or GPRS icon* in
the upper right-hand corner of the display.
1. Press 0 or
*
on the keypad of your device to insert the + symbol.
This will automatically insert the exit code for the country from
which you are calling.
2. Enter the country code of the number you are calling.
When your device is in Global Roaming mode you will be able to
connect automatically to an appropriate CDMA or GSM network
when traveling. If you remove your SIM Card, your device will only
connect to CDMA networks.
Whether you are on a CDMA or a GSM network, the phone number for
your device remains the same.
SELECTING A GSM CARRIER
In some cases you may be prompted to select a carrier’s network.
When you first enter a country with GSM service and turn your device
on, it will search for a network. The main display of your device will
display the networks that are available in that destination.
WIRELESS NETWORK COVERAGE INDICATORS
Typically there are indicators on the device display or connection
manager (like VZAccess Manager) showing the wireless coverage
level for the area in which you are using your global device. Depending
on the wireless signal strength, some of the device’s features may be
limited. Please refer to your device’s User Guide for details on such
indicators.
