Things change when you are traveling somewhere within or outside the city where the home network isn’t available and you have to sign in to a foreign network. If you have set the network mode at ‘Automatically’, it will register when the network is available but if there’s no network available, it will consume battery while searching for the networks. This is when you get ‘No Signal’ or ‘No Service’ error on your home screen. Thus, you need to swipe to ‘Manually’ selected network mode where you will be able to search for the available network at your will and register for any partnered network which allows you to stay connected more efficiently than Automatic mode when traveling.
