Default "Network Selection Mode:" not visible on AT&T 8310

Please Login to Remove!

Hello,

On all the AT&T 8310 phone with latest version of software (app 4.2.2.170, package 312) the ability NETWORK SELECTION MODE is not visible. The SIM is an AT&T account.

We have some Rogers 8310 phones where this feature is visible and we are able to change the mode from automatic to manual, allowing us to change networks.

AT&T support said 2 things:
1. Upgrade to latest O/S to make sure the feature exists. We are
2. It was not taken away by AT&T, but taken away by RIM.

Does anyone have any more information on this? Is one of our options trying to install the Rogers O/S on this AT&T phone? What are the chances something will break regarding the user's content because we will need to make sure the berry information on it looks EXACTLY as it did before.

Thanks in advance.

AT&T doesnt offer this. Pop in another carrier SIM and it should allow it. same device, same OS with a Tmo SIM has this option.

Once again, at&t support is useless. They should know better.

Changing the OS won't do anything. That's how it is on at&t.

takeshi, (nice smiley btw),

This AT&T user is IN Canada on the Rogers network, and the option is not there. :(
I would consider this international roaming no?

they are already Roaming on Rogers. There should be a triangle on the banner that displays the roaming.

Like Sith has said this is a known restriction imposed by AT&T. If you were to put in a T-Mobile SIM the option would appear.
