Another SIM Question
I know that this subject has been beat to death but I didn't get a satifactory answer searching through the arch.
I have a MPx220 with a 32K sim card. My co-worker has a V551 with the 64K sim. My phone and his favor a Cingular tower that is approx 2 miles away. On our companies property is a tower that has a ATTWS and Nextel antennas. Our phones tend to stay around 2 bars except when we go into some of the more shielded parts of the building (I know that sounds crazy) where it will jump to 4-5 bars. This tells me that it is only switching to the ATTWS tower when the cingular is out of reach.
I thought the V551 with the 64K sim should aquire the closest tower regardless of the original owner.

Make sure that the network selection on the v551 is set to 850/1900. ANd it should... As silly as it sounds being as that the phone has the quad band, but sometimes things drop off when you are looking for all four bands.
