1800 mhz GSM Band Missing

[DanielHochman]

I am planning on going to a GSM 1800 country soon but I only have GSM 900 & 1900 (what i'm on now) listed as choices. Is that because of my current SIM card or is there a problem with my phone?

Thanks,
Daniel

Here a file to enable the band selection.

[DanielHochman]

How do I run this?

[DanielHochman]

I go to the States in August. Work the Magician in the USA ?

Thanks

Depends but most probably:
If you are going to be roaming with your current SIM card then find out which network you will be roaming on- if it's T-Mobile you will be fine because all the Magicians can work on he 1900mhz band- which T-mobile is. Cingular/ATT mostly is 1900mhz also but some rural areas operate on the 850mhz band- either way you should be fine, but find out who's service you will be on to be sure.

I have the band option, but I can only choose:
GSM 900 (europe)
GSM 1900 (North America)
Even after running the program in the second post.

This is the screen I am getting.

that's why I need to know how to run the program so I can get this extra
BAND option.

Hrb, what kind of Magician do you have?

I'm talking about a T-Mobile MDA Compact with a standard Rom WWE 1.10

And as told: I do have the Band Tab, but I can only select:
GSM 900 (Europe)
GSM 1900 (North America)

And Cong and Castiwo, have you ran the program and softreset the Magician?

[cong]

I don't know how to run the program, that is the problem

CongSave the file on your computer. Open a file explorer, browse to your device and copy the .CAB file to your device, anywhere you can find it back. (root of your SD card or so) On the device open a file explorer and doubleclick the file you just copied.

I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact with the newest ROM 1.12 available as standard from the T-Mobile Germany Site, Radio 1.12.10.
As you see, nothing very special
