Using International Roaming
When you are planning on traveling abroad or to foreign
countries, you will be able to use your HP iPAQ to call home or
anywhere by first setting it up for international roaming.
At least 24 hours before you go away on your trip, you need to do
the following:
Note: Depending on your mobile phone service provider, it may
not be necessary to complete all of the following items to set up
your phone for international roaming.
Contact your mobile phone service provider for the following
information and services:
Have them activate your phone for International Roaming.
Depending on your mobile phone service provider, there may
be an additional charge for this feature.
Note: Once your HP iPAQ has been activated, it is set up
permanently for you to use abroad.
Check with your mobile phone service provider to make sure
your HP iPAQ will work in the country you are going to and
find out what kind of coverage you will get.
Find out if you will need to purchase another SIM card with
the correct international format on it, or if your mobile phone
service provider may be able to reformat the SIM card you
already have into the correct format.
Since your HP iPAQ has GPRS and EDGE capability, you
may want to ask your mobile phone service provider for an
up-to-date list of foreign operators that enable you to use data
functionality abroad and added costs for the service plan.
Once you know which network to connect to in the country
you are traveling through, you can connect to that network
manually using the following instructions.
