Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / December 2004Manual Selection
When in an area that has much better Cingular signal than AT&T signal, I cannot go to the menu function and manually select Cingular. Does anyone have any programming knowledge that will allow re-setting the function in the phone to allow me to do that? I hav read here where people can manually select the carrier. The particulars - An AT&T GSM plan Nokia 6280 Phone When I select manual, the phone finds AT&T, Cingular and T-Mobile. I cannot manually select any of them. -- John S. e-mail responses to - john at kiana dot net >When in an area that has much better Cingular signal than AT&T signal, I cannot >go to the menu function and manually select Cingular.

[quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >I'm afraid you're out of luck. p.s. Cingular's preferred way of dealing with this issue is ENS, but that takes a ENS-capable phone (which only became available recently) and a 64K SIM (rather than the prior 32K). SignatureBest regards, HELP FOR CINGULAR GSM & SONY ERICSSON PHONES: John Navas <http://navasgrp.home.att.net/#Cingular I have the MPx 220... is this an ENS-capable phone, with a 64k SIM??? How would I know? I'm totally green to these GSM/GPRS networks... a defected Verizon customer. Thanks. >I have the MPx 220... is this an ENS-capable phone, with a 64k SIM???

AT&T Wireless SIMs do allow you to choose your network. > The particulars - > An AT&T GSM plan > Nokia 6280 Phone > > When I select manual, the phone finds AT&T, Cingular and T-Mobile.

Check your user manual, if you have it. It will have a section on selecting a network, but it will tell you (most likely) that the particular feature is dependent upon carrier. TH |
