switchable 850/1900 phone for TMo?
Folks...I travel a LOT into places where 1900 service is spotty, but my current phone insists on hanging onto TMo at 1900 when strong roaming is available on AT&T at 850.
Is there a TMo phone that allows me to force roaming onto 850? When I was with Sprint, I had a Nokia flip that allowed forced Verizon roaming, regardless of Sprint strength. I'd LOVE to have that with TMo.
thanks! Mike Nassour

So I take it your with TMO?
I thought all phones had roaming settings to restrict roaming? 😕
I'd say all you have to do is find this setting and change it to 'home network' only or something like that.

Actually, I'm trying to do the opposite. I'm trying to FORCE roaming when I'm in a weak TMo/strong AT&T area. Yes, I'm on TMo right now and really like the service. However I know for a fact that in some of the places where I have signal issues on 1900, that AT&T on 850 is fine, yet I can't access it since there is (barely) a TMo signal.
I've got a couple of Samsung and Nokia phones, but none of them seem to have the feature from my Sprint Nokia...where I could tell it to leave Sprint (1900 CDMA) and go to Verizon on the lower frequency.

I'd suggest checking the manufacturer's web site. There's got to be a way to reverse force roaming? 😕

Should have operator selection in Nokia phones. For your nokia phone try going to phone settings, look for operator selection there should be an option of automatic or manual. Choose manual and it will scan for network available. Then choose the network that is strong in that area. if it doesn't work Tmo might not have roaming agreement in that area.
