Cell Info Message from Network

[antlane]

Hi guys,

This forum has already been invaluable to me with all the useful info it has! I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out with a problem I'm having:

I've installed the new T-Mobile ROM on my Vario in which I'm using a Vodafone SIM card. Now, every time I switch the Vario on, I get a "Message from Network" telling me which area code I'm in. Does anyone know how I can disable this notification?

I thought I had managed to stop this - I put the SIM card back in my K750i and unsubscribed from all cell info channels. The message didn't come up the next time I switched on the Vario but now it's come back again. I've deselected Broadcast Channels in the phone control panel.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I also have a UK T Mobile Vario with a Vodaphone SIM. And I also get "Message from Network" after a soft reset and whenever the phone loses signal and reconnects to the network, which is probably two or three times a day on average. The message is just "020", the London area code (or the area code of wherever I happen to be).

I found a registry hack that says it fixes it, see http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=481854&SiteID=1. The hack is:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\RIL]
"EnableCBM"=dword:0
"EnableCBMChannels"=""
"EnableCBMDCS"=""

but it doesn't seem to work.

antlane, did you ever manage to cure this problem ? Any help you or anyone else can give me with this would be greatly appreciated.

My ROM details are:
ROM version 1.6.2.4 WWE
ROM date 11/15/05
Radio version 01.12.10
Protocol version 4.0.13.23
ExtROM version 1.6.2.105

Thanks.

I upgraded my Vario to the latest official UK T Mobile ROM (ROM version 2.21.2.6 http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html) and this has cured the "Message from Network" problem. It also speeds up the phone greatly !
