Examples:

Note: Roam4Less™ phones cannot exchange text messages with certain CDMA carriers such as Sprint, Verizon and Telus. As an alternative, an online text messaging service such as ipipi.com can be used to exchange text messages with your Roam4Less™ phone.
Troubleshooting Tips
Change Networks
In every country, there are multiple networks providing service. The Roam4Less™ phone will auto-connect to the first network it sees, but it isn't always the best network for Roam4Less™ service. If you experience any difficulties placing or receiving calls, simply change networks and service will be restored.
Most Motorola phones: Menu » Settings » Network » Available Networks
Nokia phones: Menu » Settings » Phone » Operator Selection » Manual
Other phones: Refer to your phone's user guide on how to change networks
Note: The T-Mobile network does not offer outbound service in the USA.
Sufficient Airtime Balance
Check your airtime balance by dialing *187# from your Roam4Less™ phone.
