If you wish to change the network to which your device is connected, you can do this from the Networks screen. (You can always tell what network you're currently on by pressing Jump Network customization - sidekick 2 - Sidekick . The current network is shown on the Phone splash screen.) You can also change your APN setting from this screen. The Network Band is selected automatically. (The device supports 1900 MHz (North America), 900/1800 (Asia, Europe). Note: If you change your settings on the Network screen and want to restore them to factory default settings, simply open the menu and select Restore Defaults. Doing so will reset all settings on this screen! To open the Network screen, from the Jump screen, press Menu Network customization - sidekick 2 - Sidekick then select Settings > Network.Network.
