I don't know of a way to do this.

I've just tested now with 2G/3G/Dual Mode Selection Applet and SIM cards from two different operators. In my area there are three operators that have 3G @ 2100MHz and of those two have 2G @ 900MHz, the third doesn't have 2G. There is another operator that has 3G @ 900MHz and 2G @ 1800MHz.

When I select "Networks" with my phone in 3G or Dual mode, I see all four networks, and with the phone in 2G mode I see only three networks. It didn't matter whether I used a SIM from one of the 2100/900 operators or the 900/1800 operator.

Do you have a mix of European and American bands in your country? It may depend on whether your phone is using European or American bands which other networks you can see.
