I have a question about my Cingular Branded Pearl. As many of you know Cingular has a code on the SIM card that will always have the handset read "Cingular" even when on a roaming partners network. I used to use a Motorola V3i where I was able to do a SEEM edit to have the phone ignore the SIM card network name, and pull the name and SID from the cell tower. Is there a similar edit that can be made to the Pearl to enable the phone to display the actual network name?

Thanks

I am not aware of an "edit" to display information about the actual network in use, but on GSM BlackBerrys you can find out the MNC of the network you are currently on.

Choose Options / Advanced Options / Host Routing Table. Scrool down the list of entries to see which one is highlighted. The highlighted one is the active one. If you look at the first 5 characters of the name of the active entry, that is the MNC code of the current network. Below is a list of the most common MNC codes:

31041, 31017, 31015 = Cingular
31026 = T-Mobile
31038 = Cingular Blue (former ATTWS)

If you need to look up other MNC codes, there are long lists of MNC codes on the web (try www.howardforums.com).
