Choosing your phone number
(NAM selection)
Your service provider can set up your phone to have two
phone numbers that are activated in different service
areas—for example, one number for the Dallas area and one
number for the Chicago area.
A number assignment module, or NAM, consists of a phone
number and network information that the service provider
programs into your phone. When you select a NAM, you’re
not only selecting a phone number, you’re also selecting a
home system in which you will not be charged roaming fees.
For more information about home systems, see ‘Public
system selection’ on page 34.
Both NAMs are not equal. Some features, such as system
selection (see page 34) and network feature setting
(see page 27), are available only when the primary NAM is
selected.
Use Menu 4 5 to select a NAM.
