Hello everyone,

Who knows how to prevent the "triangle roaming icon" from appearing in the systray? My provider (Telfort) got bought by another (KPN) so now all Telfort users "roam" on the KPN network. Is there a regedit I can apply?

I have tried:
1) editting [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting] "ONSDisplayRule"=dword:00000004
2) adding [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL] "DisableRoamingIndicator"=dword:00000001

Or is there some way that I can set my home network to 20408 (KPN) instead of 20412 (Telfort)? Or perhaps even add both as my home networks?

Or could changing my "StoredIMSI" help? It currently displays a Telfort number: 20412xxxxxxxxxx.

Thanks so much!

Think it's in the Start, Settings,Personal, Phone area in one of those tabs you can turn off roaming..

And yea moved you over to general as this isn't rom development.

Thanks for your reply's guys.

I'm afraid I haven't made myself completely clear. I don't want to disable roaming. "Roaming" on KPN is the only way I have a connection as the Telfort network no longer exists. What I want to do is either:

1) trick my phone into thinking that KPN is my home network, or
2) disable the distinguishment that Windows Mobile makes between a home network and a roaming network

Any thoughts on how to do this would be much appreciated! Thanks!

I've got the same problem here and I haven't found a solution either. The problem is that Telfort is a virtual provider using the KPN network, so even your 'own' network is a roaming network, meaning you've got that annoying triangle all the time.

I've heard that getting a new sim settles this problem, but Telfort charges €20,- for this.
