@jett
@ 619
619 is correct jett. some who are using the old Smart SIM shows two operator names in particular handsets. don't ask me why, ask Smart.

.... even the manufacturers (Sony Ericsson in this case) also has their own database of operator names that they install in the handsets ....
I may be wrong but I doubt this very much because if SE were to put a database of various operator "saved" somewhere in the phone, then they would need a considerably large memory to store this. If we were to assume for one moment that they do this on a region-per-region basis, how would SE know which region their phone will end up with ? If we were to look at it based on firmware edition, I doubt this as well I originally had an R1A EU version then upgraded to R3C Asia Latin edition.

firmware is just the software needed to run your mobile phone.
firmware can have different versions customized to any particular region.
the database that i'm referring to is just a list of ALL GSM countries and the respective GSM network codes and network names, and yes, it is a "text file" usually, so if you're wondering about the memory it takes to store it is not really that big as you think, but not too small either. it is there in your phone jamba, and it is something that cannot be easily edited, and not something that the firmware directly affects.
