Irrelevant. If you are connected to the carrier you are most likely also connected to the net through the carrier, and you don't need to check and reset your time that often so every once in a while is OK for an ntp check. I think there is probably some technical reason for being in-synch with the carrier, phone wise, but that is just a guess. Most carriers I have been connected to seem to not be that spot on to the time. > > Peter. > _______________________________________________ > iPhone-talk mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/iphone-talk _______________________________________________ iPhone-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/iphone-talk
