Change Your Phone Number
Your phone can operate on two different home systems. If you travel
often, you can have your phone programmed with two cellular numbers to
reduce roaming. This feature allows you to change your active number to
the one appropriate for the area you're in.
When your phone has two numbers, both are designated as your home system
but only one number can be active at any given time. Calls are placed and
received by the currently active number only. Each time you turn your
phone ON, you'll see a message in the display that indicates which phone
number and home system are currently active:
Non-wireline type with phone number 1 A1
Non-wireline type with phone number 2 A2
Wireline with phone number 1 B1
Wireline with phone number 2 B2
In most areas, there are two competing cellular carriers, the "wireline"
carrier and the "non-wireline" carrier. If your cellular service is from
the non-wireline carrier, the display will indicate that your home system
is system A. If your cellular service is from the wireline carrier, the
display will indicate that your home system is system B.
To change to your other phone number:
1. Press [RCL], [# >], [STO].
