I've just switched to T-Mobile (UK) (from Orange) and have got a T630 free on contract, with free bluetooth headset

Anyway, on UK Cellnet and UK-Vodafone i know it is possible to display the local STD (dialling) code by turning Cell Info on. On Orange and Three-UK i know this does nothing, but i can't even find the option in my T630.

So two questions - do T-Mobile (UK) support this?
Where is the option in the T630 menu to turn it on?


Got to add that this was the easiest phone migration ever - paired my (constantly falling off network despite max signal stregth 7th handset in 14 months) T68i and T630 and then sent all my contacts via Bluetooth - better than hacking CSV files and syncing on the PC for hours like the Sony J70 - T68i switch

T-Mobile does not support this service, thus no option on the phone. All T-Mobile price plans include both local and national calls, therefore no std code support required. Hope this helps, Walrus :-)

But it does have the option to turn it on. Go on messages, them in down to area info.

When i was on UK Cellnet (all them years ago) my phone used to display "01257" when i was at home and "01772" when i was in town, so it must?, or at least used to (BTW at home i was in the 01772 area!)

No "Cell Info" dispite it being mentioned in the manual.
