Nokia 6630 On Three.
Options
Have a Nokia 6630 on the network 3. Although I’m more than happy with their level of coverage where I live, I will be moving house into an area between 2g and 3g coverage, where the phone constantly cuts out for 30 seconds every few minutes.
I have seen posts where its possible to lock the phone to use GSM network (02) all the time. I have the same phone on T-Mobile, and it is possible to select the networks. 3 have nicely provided me with a handset with the option for network selection completely removed from the menu.
The T-mobile one was manufactured in January with software version 3.something, while the 3 handset was manufactured in March with software version 4.03.18. Is there any way I can get the option back to choose my network?
I was going to take the handset down to ClubNokia to fix an un-related fault with the earpiece, if I ask them to update the software will I get the menu back? Is there any other way of doing it?
Thanks in advance guys/girls!

i think they will still flash it with 3 branded s/ware (if it has been released in v4.03 on 3) so it will still have the same problem. it may be possible to reflash with generic s/w even though it wont unlock it0

Have a look here - http://www.symbian-freak.com/quides/netmon.htm, you can use Net Monitor to lock to 2G/3G/both etc..0

Thanks for the link, I've had a quick look. Have you any experience with this software?
To me it looks like you type in the 4 digit number to access various features. One of these numbers is the Leeds dialing code, which would mean I couldn’t phone anyone in my home city? Or have I misinterpreted whats on the webpage?0 -
I used to use NetMonitor on several Nokia phones in my previous job as a mobile network engineer. Choose test 8101, execute 1 (for 2G only), or 0 for dual mode. The 'Leeds' one is just to use a test site - perhaps one used in a testlab or that hasn't been optimised yet. Don't worry about that, just follow the details at the bottom.0

Works (phone resets) but the 2g signal is nill (my other o2 sim works)?
[EDIT] Found signal after a few minutes. Excellent, thanks!0 -
if you have the latest firmware on your nokia 6630 then you dont need the software as the option will be in the menu0
