Help with network access in the US


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have the I mate smartphone 2002 that I purchased in Egypt just a month ago. It is the english version. I used it on the Mobinil network there and it works fine. Now I am in the US and went to T Mobile who provided me with a new sim card and new phone number, but I cannot get access to the network. T mobile says that it is a setting and I cannot figure out how or what to change.

When I power up the phone it says network deined, searching.

The book talks about a sim card setting, but I do not see any settings on the phone for that.

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks.

Welcome DCD

In the US, You need to change to band to PCS

Programs-Settings-Telephony-Band Selection - PCS band.

Should get you started ;)

DCD,

Did Martins solution work? I'm in the US with T-Mobile also and that's what did it for me...

That will do it. Also go to the Articles Forum and the GPRS Settings repository to get your GPRS settings for internet accessability.
