Hi, I am just wondering if anyone knows whether you can remove or rename the name of the Service Provider (i.e Orange, AT&T wireless.....)on the top of the screen for Ericsson T68? Thx very much

Nope, cant do

According to an "insider", you wont be able to do this, not even with the new mms-software-upgrade.

It would be great if we could change this, maybe in the next software version.

Since I have the same name as my network provider I see no reason to change it. =)

Howabout the colour?

The box shows all the txt in red, but its black on my phone.

The profiles dont change it and i haven't seen anything else that does either.

A previous post stated that a SIM editor was the only way to do it.

When youre able to download new themes you can change the color of the text, maybe not the "icons" showing when new SMS and so on, but the txt.
You can check it out on
I read somewhere that the red txt on the box just where a "fake pic"

I would change my name but the problem is my network is called Virgin Mobile, any how I've discovered a great way of removing the network name, just hang about in an area with no signal and the name will dissapear?

"Logomanager" software is capable of changing Network provider Name on Nokia Phones. I tried it on T68, it won't work. Perhaps there is a similar third party software for phones

Another thing about the network operator name: It seems that the name of the network operator is stored twice on the sim, one "long" version and one "short" version. And even though there is enough space on the display for the "long" name, Ericsson phones seem to choose the "short" version. As an example, two of the bigger network operators in Sweden are Telia and Comviq. They appear in an Ericsson phone as "S Telia" and "S IQ" respectively, I think the "S" stands for Sweden, while the very same sim cards, when put in a Nokia phone, show "Telia Mobiltel" and "Comviq". I don't think you can do anything about this either.

I know a friend of mine changed the name of his sim by doing something to his card in the computer. It sounded pretty difficult though, I don't remember which phone it was....
