International Calls
For details about making calls to other countries from your local area, including the cost and other potential fees, it’s best to reach out to your service provider. If you’re overseas, your iPhone may allow you to make calls, send texts, and use internet-based apps, depending on the networks that are accessible.
Activating international roaming requires you to get in touch with your service provider for details about its availability and cost. Be aware that charges for voice calls, text messages, and data usage may be incurred while roaming. These charges can be avoided by disabling Voice Roaming and Data Roaming.
If your account is CDMA and you have an iPhone 4s or a newer model with a SIM card, you may have the ability to roam on GSM networks. When roaming on a GSM network, your iPhone can utilize the features of the GSM network. However, this may come with additional charges, so it’s advisable to check with your service provider for more details.

To select a carrier network, go to ‘Settings > Carrier’. This setting appears on GSM networks when you’re outside your carrier’s network, and other local carrier data networks are available for your phone calls, visual voicemail, and cellular network Internet connections. You can only make calls on carriers that have a roaming agreement with your carrier. Additional fees may apply, and roaming charges may be billed to you by the other carrier, through your carrier.
If visual voicemail isn’t available, you can still get voicemail by dialing your own number (with CDMA, add ‘#’ after your number), or touch and hold ‘1’ on the numeric keypad.
Phone Settings
Go to ‘Settings > Phone’ to see your iPhone’s phone number, change the default text message replies for incoming calls, turn call forwarding, call waiting, and caller ID on or off (if you’re using a GSM network), turn TTY on or off, change your voicemail password (if you’re using a GSM network), and require a PIN to unlock your SIM when you turn your iPhone on (this is required by some carriers).
Go to ‘Settings > Sounds’ to set ringtones and volume, set vibration options, and set the sound for new voicemail.
Once you select a network, your iPhone will only use that network. If the network is unavailable, ‘No service’ will appear on your iPhone. Likewise see also the Pantech Renue (P6030) User Manual and Apple iPhone 5c Manual.
