In a few easy steps, you will be able to place and receive phone calls when you travel for a fraction of the cost of other mobile phone carriers.

Always select the "Global" Profile, even when in the USA.
Exception for Italy: When in Italy choose the "Prime" Profile and you must use the TIM network.

          Calling to France (CountryCode = 33) * 33 x xxxx xxxx #

     Text messages can only be sent to your assigned SMS number.
     Texting format: + SMS number (including PLUS)
Example: + 44 xxx xxx xxxx

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.

SIM Reset

A. Remove the battery & SIM card
B. Replace the battery without the SIM card
C. Turn your phone on (your phone may display an Insert SIM message)
D. Wait 15 seconds and turn your phone off
E. Remove the battery and replace the SIM and battery
F. Turn your phone back on

My tour of Asia was partly made possible by Roam4Less. Without such a service, I don t think I could have ever parted from my friends and family.

My mother bought me the Roam4Less USAPhone. She said I don’t call enough. Well ma, I do work in New Jersey. Now I got no excuse, because this is a great phone. Ah, darn it.

testimonial

My wife and I vacationed in Maryland and loved every minute of it. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to talk much to our children due to the bad connection. For next year, we’re ready. We got the Roam4Less USAPhone, with the same phone number, and it’s very cool.
