Manual network selection on Smartphone?

[Guest aadadams]

On my v600 I was able to manually select the carrier I roamed on from a list in my phone. Is this possible on smartphones. I use a MPx220 on the Cingular network in the US for home, but Cingular has opened the ATT network up to its subscribers and I would like to be able to select it to check it out.

You should be able to manually select the network by going to Settings-Telephony-Networks and then use Menu-Select a network.

Note: Telephony might be called something else on the MPX200 but is usually under option 1 in Settings.

I use an MPx220 (not MPx200) and your suggestion is not an option, hence my question. Cingular takes away the ability to manually search for and/or register on networks through their custom ROM. In the triplets phones such as the v600, v500, and etc. one could edit the seem files (files that cntained the customizations) using a hex editor to enable this search/register functionality. My question is does this editing capability exist in the smartphone regime? Does that make sense?

It may be possible with a regeditor, try PHM Registry Editor downloadable from here.
