Phone Settings
When you are traveling abroad and switch on your mobile phone, it should automatically attempt to register with the network with the strongest available signal, provided Network/Operator Selection is set to automatic.
If the Network Selection is not set to automatic then you will need to select a network manually. Below are instructions on manual selection for some of the most popular handsets.
Control costs by checking out the roaming tariffs with our roaming partners.
