Calling Options (Menu 5 1)
This menu lets you set your phone so that it can only make
the types of calls you specify, or only in certain types of
networks.
Note: When calls are restricted, calls may be possible to
the emergency number programmed into your phone
(e.g., 911 or another official emergency number) including
calls by emergency 9 dialing.
Carrier Selection (Menu 5 1 1)
Your phone uses a carrier network (also called a cellular
system) to make and receive calls. Generally you sign up
for service with a particular “carrier” (your cellular service
provider). This is called your “Home system” and usually
you want the phone to use it.
46
But there may be times when you can’t or don’t use your
Home system (for example when you travel). Then, there’s
usually more than one network your phone can work in.
But which one should it work in? The point of the Carrier
Selection menu is to help your phone make the best
choice for you.
A simple fact to know: all cellular systems are either type
“A” or “B”. So your “Home system” is either an “A” or “B”
system. Ask your cellular service provider or dealer which
type yours is.

Preferred
-
Your dealer can pro-
gram a list of “preferred” networks
into your phone. If your dealer has done this, when you
choose
Preferred
your phone looks first for your home
system, then a network in the preferred list, then a network
of the same “type” (A or B) as your home system, then a
network of the opposite “type” as your home system.
47
If your dealer has not programmed this list into your
phone, you can still use the
Preferred
option. The
phone will look first for your home system, then a network
of the same “type” as your home system.
Non-Preferred
- Your phone will choose a network
that is of a different “type” than your Home system.
Any
- The phone first looks for your home system, then a
network of the same “type” as your home system, then a
network of the opposite “type” as your home system.
Home Only
- The phone only looks for service on the
Home system. It won’t choose any other network, so if
you’re out of your Home system, you won’t have service
(
NO SERVICE
).

Calling Card (Menu 5 2)
Note: If you activate the service provider prepaid option,
this menu is not available. Any calling card information
saved in your phone will be lost. If you deactivate the
service provider prepaid option, the Calling Card menu
becomes available again, but you must resave any calling
card information.
With this menu you store calling card information for up to
2 cards in your phone. Then you can make calling card
calls without having to enter the calling card information
each time.
To make a calling card call, see “Calling Card Calls” on
page 18.
Remember, to use the automated method of making cal-
ling card calls, you must have entered all the necessary
card details and selected the card (using this menu). If only
the details for one card are entered, there is no need to
use the Select feature. But, if you then add the details of
another card, the second card will automatically become
the card in use. Only one card can be active at a time.
You may enter a card name for each card, but this is
optional. This name is only used for card identification on
the phone display, and has no effect on the sending
sequence. ‘Card A’ and ‘Card B’ will be replaced by the
names you enter.
Card information may be found on your calling card. If you
need further information about specific dialing sequences,
contact your calling card company.
