does anyone sometimes have "emerg. calls only" message on your w910i instead of your own operator name? |

Yeah, I sometimes do and I put it down to network issues. It always seems to correct itself in due course.

I think it's a glitch sometimes, I have seen it a few times and we only have one gsm network in NZ!

It's when you're out of your network's coverage, but still within the coverage of 1+ network(s), and therefore, able to make calls to emergency services if you ever needed to.

@arien617
I understand what it means but how come it can happen when there are 2 phones in the same room, same network and only 1 has this problem ? |

If they are two different models then the answer is obvious, that one has a stronger aerial than the other.

Don't be knocking cheap Nokias!
They're bloody good phones! Very tough, covers most basic functions and they will last for a long time, and do these things better than most £100+ phones.
