    Make sure you read through the whole thread to see the other variations of the settings as the fields may differ a bit from phone to phone. Find/try the ones that has fields that look the most like what your device has.
    If you feel that you have to correct some of my posts for my capitalization of some of my words, then just bear with it. It's just a discussion forum where some may be limited by time to answer in well-versed and eloquent sentences.

    I already got a PHD (Plain High School Diploma) so ignore my style of writing and I'll ignore your ignorance.

    Yeah the GPRS-only settings looked mighty strange.

    Normally when one talks about network settings one is talking about the ability to use the phone to make voice calls. Is that what you mean or are you referring to the ability to use data? Set the network type to Manual and select the 850/1900 MHz band pair. Automatic might be selecting the 900/1800 MHz band pair.
