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 35.
Both NAMs are not equal. Some features, such as system
selection (see page 35) and network feature setting
(see page 28), are available only when the primary NAM
is selected.
Use Menu 4 5 to select a NAM.
