I posted this message in a Palm newsgroup and got no replies, and was
hoping someone here might know.

Before acquiring a Treo for business reasons, I always used Nokia
phones. They make it relatively easy to manually search for all the
systems that are within the frequency range(s) of the phone, since
they'll pull up everything -- even if you can't register on the
network.

I would think that Treos offer the same capablity, but I have yet to
find it. Does anyone know if it's possible to manually pull up
systems. On my Nokias, I found this to be very helpful, because often
I'd get to a place that I knew TM had coverage, but the system
wouldn't be recognized on my phone until I did a manual search.

Thanks in advance!

Treo does offer the manual network searching capability. In the phone
mode, you can press menu to select network. It will perform automatic
searching for all available networks, or you can manually force the Treo
to search either 900/1800 or 850/1900. I hope this answer your concern.

Just tried it and it worked successfully. That was amazingly helpful!
Thanks very much.
