Weird network appearing

Paul254 · 20-02-2010, 09:20

I am on O2 contract, but since yesterday on main screen my network has appeared ad 23410.

What has happened and how can I solve it?

For some reason your handset is displaying the network by its network code rather than by name

As you can see HERE all uk networks have a code starting with 234 and one of O2's is 23410 as displayed on your phone.

As for how to fix it..... I have no idea!

234/10 is the MCC/MNC for O2. Normally, the handset would look up the display name that goes with this (O2-UK) and show that instead. I don't know why the phone would show the codes instead, unless there is a setting on the phone to do so or a SIM/phone fault.
