Use GPRS but not UMTS?

[MaartenD]

I seem to be right at the edge of UMTS coverage where I live. When connected to a UMTS network I get one or no lines showing signal strength.
As a consequence, the connection gets broken off frequently and then reconnected to GPRS (which is strong). Then transferred back to UMTS and so on.
Especially the transfer from weak to no UMTS and then switching to GPRS is a pain. lost connection, having to dial in again, sometimes even getting an errormessage.

Is there a way to configure my device to not use UMTS?

I have a Universal.

Hello

To do this you need to go to start/settings/phone
click on the 'Band' tab at the bottom and then use the 'select your network type' drop menu to chose 'GSM'. This will disable the UMTS band and save you ALOT of battery as well.

Please let me know if this helped

This infomation can easily be found in the universal forum.
