How to receive calls while roaming
by Burt
(Longmont, CO)
I have instructions on how to receive calls on while roaming.
They say before leaving your local area you have to put in a code such as for A *18+send+end or for B *350+send+end then turn your phone off for 30 min.
It says "To locate your carrier band, look at your tracfone on the bottom center of the screen." It will show A or B.
My LG 420g does not show an A or a B.
Question is: How do I tell which code to use if none are showing?

Hi Burt,
I'm sorry, but my LG 420g also doesn't show this. Are these instructions you received from Tracfone support? My understanding was that there are no roaming issues with these phones as they use Tracfone's digital network.
I checked the zip code for Longmont, CO and saw that GSM handsets like the LG 420g were offered by Tracfone in that area. Is there a particular area where they said you will have to use these instructions?
Earlier handsets used to have information about what network was being used, but those were in the days where there were roaming charges (one minute of airtime used to cost two minutes).
Once again, sorry I can't be of more help.
