Setting Your Phone to System 'B'

For information on how to switch your phone to the B channel, refer to the cellular phone user's manual. If the user's manual for your cellular phone is long lost, or buried in a closet somewhere, then call us for instructions (011 (599) 542-2100), or email us at info@StMartinMobiles.com. Have the make and model of your phone handy when you call or write. (Listed below are brief instructions for the most common cellular phones).
