Default Wrong service provider
I am using simple mobile prepaid service. I am coming from nexus one to nexus s. My provider on nexus s reads T-Mobile. I don't know why. I never had this happened with nexus one. Please advise. Thanks

Simple Mobile is an MNVO of T-mobile (Simple Mobile sells service on T-mobile's network and rebrands it as Simple Mobile... That could be why your Nexus S is displaying T-mobile as your service provider. I hope this helps you.

You're roaming on/using T-Mobile's cellular towers

Yes I understand all that about simple mobile but I never had a problem with the nexus 1 before. It was always showing simple mobile is my carrier. Thanks

may just be that the network has no idea what device it is or how to handle it?

either way, does it really bug you for it to say tmobile?
