Manual operator selection

Options

29-Aug-2009 06:12 AM

My N85 doesn't get signals where my 2610 does. So I tried manual operator selection and sometimes I get 2 options which say "AT&T". It'll let me select one but when I try to select the other it says "no access". Any idea as to why it won't let me access? Are these 1900 MHz and 850 MHz?

Sim card are activated only for one particular operator provider, selecting the other only means that the sim is not for the other one. In locations where there are plenty of providers you'll find as many as there are & being in manual you have to be certain which one. In automatic mode, it queries one after the other in round robin fashion until it gets an access. I've noticed that too, that different models of Nokia phone have diferent strenght of radio signals transmit/recieve. It's not surprising to to see one model have more bars (signal strenght) than others.
