a hollow triangle started blinking in the center of the top part of the screen.. then it went away

i couldnt find any information about it in the manual.. its a verizon phone on an alltel network... has anyone come across this little item yet?

Mine does that occasionally, mostly when I'm out of my home state. I thought it had to do with roaming or out of normal area or extended network or something like that. Don't know for sure though. Hopefully someone else can shed more technical light on this for us.

I'm pretty sure that is the roaming indicator and I've only seen it when I was traveling out of my local service area.

This occurs on mine also. My phone number is a North Dakota area code and I live in South Dakota. The triangle appears whenever I am not on the home area code towers.

At least on Verizon, the flashing triangle is the "Extended Network" indicator. It means you are on another carriers network, but are using your home minutes. If the triangle is solid, you are roaming, and will be billed accordingly.

sadly to say. the only place that all cell phones DO NOT work is in the building i live in... if you come to see me you will be roaming.
but i was just wondering... caue the LED indicator was supposed to blink amber but it blinks nothing

Mine blinks red when there's no service. I've never had it blink yellow for roaming, is it supposed to?

thats what the manual sez

the manual says a lot of things that are not true

so true, i still like the phone though. i cant put it down

Nor can I! and I've had mine for 2 years!
