you’re in. (See “Selecting a Network” on page 205.)
Accessing Your Email and Data Services on CDMA Networks
Since your device is set to Global mode by default, it automatically detects CDMA networks. If a data
service is available on a CDMA network, you do not need to manually set your device to CDMA mode.
You also do not need to select the specific carrier. Selecting a specific carrier is necessary only for
providers on the GSM network.
If you changed the network mode setting of your device to GSM-only mode while you are traveling, you
need to set it back to Global mode or CDMA-only mode to access CDMA data services.
To change the network mode from GSM to Global or CDMA-only mode:
1. Slide to the Settings tab, and then tap Wireless controls > Phone > Network tab.
2. From the Mode of operation drop-down list, select Global or CDMA only.
3. Tap OK.
