I have the Cingular 8125/w the new AT&T 3G Sim Card and wanted it to show the "Operator Names" so I searched for hours and all I found was this REGISTRY EDIT

\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RIL\Operat orNames

I added "OperatorNames" in the registry and the (MCC+MNC) and provider names, I tried this in several RIL folders in the registry and it NEVER worked for me, after some fiddling around with the registry in my phone I got it to show the Operator Names from the TOWER itself without having to add any of this here is how:

Navigate to \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\SIM

From there you should see some strings titled:
Eons Enable
EONS Initted Flag
Network Menu Select
ONS Enable
SPN Enable

All of which have a value of 1 Except Network Menu Select, now all I did was change all the strings to a value of 0 and gave the Network Menu Select a value of 1 after that I exited the registry editor and noticed my phone said Cingular instead of AT&T, after a soft-reset all the values changed back to what they were BUT the name still says Cingular and when I did a manual network selection search it showed Cingular and i Wireless when it used to show AT&T - AT&T. How this worked I don't know and I don't know if it will work for everybody.
