I would like to read the date/time from the GSM net work by a modem's
host application in order to update internal Real Time Clock.
Is any body have a clue how to do it?
Thanks

I don't think t-mobile provides time sync for the phones.

Yes, they do. It won't work with all devices, but for phones that
support the function, they will indeed draw their time from the
system.

A quick question: does Sony Ericsson T610 supports this function?

I know the T610 supports this function as long as the capability is
offered by the provider, so it should work.

I have a T610 from T-Mobile. I am the kind of guy who reads manuals from
cover to cover for a couple of times (just for fun). I did not find any
reference to this auto-sync feature. Either T-Mobile does not provide
this time sync through its network, or T610 has no such a feature.

I don't buy SE products because they're poorly designed, IMO. But a
search of their site says the devices do have that functionality. I
CAN tell you for fact that T-Mobile supports that function because my
Nokia 6610 always draws its time from the network.

T-Mobile has not always supported that function, but they did once
they started unifying their network behaviors after the takeovers of
VoiceStream and Powertel.

Would you please give the url on the SE web site? I believe I perused
the user's manual of my T610 very thoroughly.

Unfortunately I can no longer find it. I know I did see that
somewhere, though.
