Bookmark topic
On my friend's se phone (can't remember which model, sorry) he gets a word on his standby screen below the Vodafone New Zealand logo saying which transmitter he is mech. For example if he's in Auckland, his display reads 'vodafone NZ Auckland cbd'. Anyone know what i'm talking about and if this is available on my t68i? Thanks. Sorry i'm confusing my english is not great.

it could be the network cell broadcast function. supported by almost all the current phone. Go to phone menu message > area info > check on the reception and cell information > add message list. While you need to know what the codes stand for. Ask the operator first.

Messages -> Area info -> Cell information
Set this option to "on" and you will see current cellinformation in the display (if your network provider support this feature)

But its just nice to know. Here in the Netherlands is use less, we only see the current district number, but during my stay in Australia it worked perfect, every tiny place had his own name, and in the big cities you even got the streetname where you walked at that moment (or a street nearby), verry usefull for us Tourists....(one hand a map, the other hand a Phone)

yeah.. noticed that too when I was to Australia two years ago, quite neat thing when you visit a country you are not familiar with
here in Sweden no provider uses cell information.

Ah yes thank you! I live in england normally and always wondered what that was for, dont think many if any uk operators use it. But yeah, vodafone oz use it, got it on now, cos i'm a purist geek. Thanks everyone.

fantastic. i've been looking for that since i got the phone. does anyone know what these are for?
Messages -> Area info -> Reception
Messages -> Area info -> Message list
and yes i did look in the manual. it's about as useful as hip-pockets on a singlet.

In Denmark the cell info is accurate +-100 meters in the centre of Copenhagen at least.
I think itīs pretty neat!
