T-Mobile no longer uses 310-16(0) which was the Omnipoint network in New 
England, metro NYC, as well as the Miami area in FL.  That network now has 
the network code of
310-26(0).  310-17(0) is cingular's MNC on the west coast.  Since cingular 
and T-Mobile still share a network that's the MNC for that area.  T-Mobile 
actually only uses two networks with one being the shared network in 
California and Nevada.
