Hey, thanks! I'll try that tomorrow.
I did have one quick question I forgot to ask when I started this thread. I've
been having some trouble getting an at&t sim card to work in this phone.
Whenever I start it up with the at&t sim, I always have a red X over the signal
bars. I have tried using two different at&t sims but they both give me the red
X. I have a T-mobil sim I put in it and got 2g EDGE data with it, but that's
really slow, and T-mobil network coverage around where I live is very bad.
I spoke with someone from at&t last Friday and when I gave him my IMEI #, he
said this was a 2g only device. This confuses me, as on the back label it shows
"UMTS 850/1900MHZ." Does that not mean it is 3g capable? Also, the ebay store I
bought it from said it has 3g. Do you think this could be a problem with the
radio? I checked the APN settings and they are correct as far as I can tell.
