Icon of GSM carrier disappeared
 
I can not find in my N900 the icon to configure the services of my carrier.
(for to apply for balance, enabling packet data, promotions, ...)
In the N82 and all other phones it is visible as an icon like the other software.
Any ideas?:confused::confused::confused:

Thanks!!

Here the icons of the GSM operators in the Palm Centro and Nokia N82.
But nothing appears on the N900. Why?

My little knowledge says that actually there's no support for such services, the only SIM settings are under Settings -> Phone. You can't even organize your contacts saved on your SIM. Pretty annoying...

Go to options screen and click telephone you can change settings there.

That's because on the other phones your network operator installed some software

no, what he's talking about is some sort of sim menu. if you have that menu on your sim card (programmed by your operator) and if your phone supports it you get a simple menu where you cana ccess to some shortcuts/codes/services of your operator. It works operator customized and sim free phones

Already looked in the phone settings, but appear only the basic phone.
Well, maybe the firmware is still not 100% compatible with GSM carrier in other countries? (I'm in Brazil.)

This was complicated, because you can not keep removing the SIM card to operate on the GSM carrier of another cell phone.
Does not have to create a shortcut? :confused:

i think i couldn't explain myself properly. I know the menu you are talking about and i do get it on another phones but not on n900.

my carrier hasn't got important stuff or stuff i use so it does'nt bother me

ok friend, is that here in Brazil the cost of connections is very expensive, and I have a prepaid SIM card that has a promotion for web access to fixed price (approx. 0.85 cents per 24 hours) which is only activated by menu GSM carrier. So much need of this shortcut.

Just read that Maemo 5 will be releasing its new uprgrade today in the UK and tommorow to the rest of the world. Follow it here:

http://www.gadgetsnreviews.com/it%E2...19-1/1291.html

Sim services are very crucial here in my country (Kenya) where banking has grown to using operator services among other functions. The N900 is such an amazing phone that this inability to access sim services almost takes it back to the dark ages (no pan intended). With its amazing abilities its the least Nokia could have done for us. And that was the reason I was looking forward to the latest Maemo Version 1.2 hoping to find it included. Well it didn't happen this time round and all of us have to wait another couple of months for this inclusion.

How sad.
