Roaming Tips

Selecting A GSM Network When Abroad

With your GSM handset, you can select your roaming network either automatically or manually. In most cases, the default setting is automatic and connects your phone to the strongest partner network signal within reach. As you move, the handset will continuously monitor the available networks and keep you connected to the strongest one.

In manual selection settings, your GSM handset will detect the available networks and offer you the choice to select. Once selected, the chosen network will be considered as your preferred one.

Call Barring When Abroad

Barring all incoming calls (BAIC) while roaming allows you to control your expenses using a 4-digit barring password. The default barring password is 0000 and we strongly recommend you change it.

To change your password:
Press **03*330*Old Password*New Password*New Password#SEND

BAIC Activation:
Press *351* Password# SEND.

BAIC Deactivation:
Press #351*Password# SEND.

Note:
You cannot activate call forwarding if you already have activated BAIC. Therefore, when receiving calls, the caller gets the ‘unreachable’ voice notification.

Handset Compatibility

mtc touch’s network operates on the 900-frequency band. If you are roaming on 1800/1900 or iDEN frequency band, please make sure your handset supports the frequency of the network.
