the phone has software to interpret what the SIM says to it.
the phone does not have all the networks etc built in to it.
sp SIM says this is my name so display this on ya screen mr.t68i and it does.
it can be changed by an ota message, but not a normal update one, it wud av 2 carry some sort of sw or toolkit upgrade cos thats wat the phone looks to for the sp name to display.
nuff sed. this is the bottom line and is correct for all gsm networks. and i checked with both t-mobile/virgin/and voda 2 double check its right.
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
*sorry im playing on a slide*

Hi,
the operatorname are in some way stored in the phone's firmware. For example here in Sweden we had an operator called Europolitan and their name is now Vodafone. After an update of the firmware their new name is shown in the display. I could be wrong but im pretty sure im right 
And Yes you can change the name in the display, I have a friend that can. But you must have some really advanced equipment (like they have in the servicepoints). You have to download the e^2 from your phone (some "hardware" firmware in the phone). Then with a special program change the name for you operator in the code, save and then download the program to your phone again. I think it's another firmware then the one you usually update. And this is nothing an ordinary user can or should do. It's complicated and dangerous.
Put it IS possible to change the name in the display.

pxus - I said that I bet you would NOT see a blank name!!
Jabba is right - some phones do store the operator long and short names (like the old GH388 series phones). If the network code such as 214-01 (for Vodafone/Airtel in Spain) does not have a corresponding text in the phone or the SIM, then the code is usually displayed.
Okay, most operators have their name provisioned on the list stored on the phone as this takes precedence and makes it harder on virtual operators who share networks.
As for Nokias, they (most of them) have the ability to have EITHER the operator name OR a operator logo displayed. And you can modify the operator logo relatively easily (even make it blank).
Sorry, we're getting side-tracked!

talk about blast from the past...i have WORLD written where my phone should say T-Mobile just like many Ericsson boxes, this stays the same no matter what phone i put my sim in....unless of course it goes in a Nokia where its been programmed to display a different Operator logo.
how did i do it...had a relative that worked for my service provider.
ps. bring back the old threads, new ones are crap  |
