What Does a Triangle Mean?

[Savi]

I have been getting a triangle that keeps popping up where the G normally show up when the device connects to GSM. I am on PPCPE2003 build out of the ROM kitchen.

What does this mean?

Thanks :oops:

Roaming, i.e. not your normal operator. Usually happens when in another country.

Oddly, this happened to me when I switched from ATTWS to T-Mobile in my home T-Mobile market. It stayed like this for about a month, and all of the sudden one day, the triangle stopped coming up in my home market. No roaming was ever reflected in the bill though. I would check your bill just to insure there are no roaming charges being passed to you.

T-Mobile USA's network is a mixture of a lot of networks that they bought over time, as well as some roaming agreements with others (Cingular for example).
This means that technically you are roaming when using T-mobile a lot of the time, but they don't charge for it, since it is either now owned by them, or covered by an agreement.
I noticed that the T-mobile radio stacks 'hide' the triangle...probably so people don't get confused/worried. They also try to rename the service to 'T-Mobile' on your phone (in the case of VoiceStream/Cingular etc.) to make it more user friendly.

The AT&T radio doesn't hide it.

TMo hide the 'G' too. Wierd.
