It is both phone and network dependent: I.e. all my Nokia phones have a configuration setting that was default off; when set on it would allow the time to be set by the currently connected network. I some countries and on some network this does work, on others it doesn't, and on some of those where it does "work", the resulting time can be a minute or two off. :-( Terje -- - <Terje.Mathisen at tmsw.no> "almost all programming can be viewed as an exercise in caching" _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
