Noob Question
 

My phone doesn't display the Operator. Anywhere where I would expect it to show up, it doesn't. I downloaded a cab that allows me to put whatever I want there and it works fine. The new text supplied by me shows up everywhere I want it too. My question is, why did Alltel never show up in any of these spots? Not that I particularly wanted it too, but is there something wrong that causes it to not show up?

Re: Noob Question
 

What do you mean by an Operator? What exactly are you trying to do? Your post is vague and confusing to me.

Re: Noob Question
 

Search for something called the Personalizer. This app will let you change the operator name. You can probably even set it to alltel... :)

To clarify...The Operator is your service provider and on my buddy's 6800 from Sprint, you see SprintPCS stuck in the corner of several different screens. One, for example, is the Now screen from spb Mobile Shell. We both have it (spb Mobile Shell) and his shows SprintPCS in the top bar, but mine does not show Alltel. I don't particularly care whether Alltel appears up there or not, I was just wondering if there may be something set-up incorrectly on my phone to cause this to not show and if so does it need to be fixed?

As for the Personalizer, I have downloaded it and it works perfectly. I can have anything I want to appear in those spots, but that still doesn't get me past the question, Should Alltel appear on mine without the Personalizer and if so why isn't it? As far as I know, Alltel may not do this, but I would think that all service providers would want their name splashed on your screen.

Overall, if I have a configuration issue that is causing me not to have the operator show up on the phone, is the same configuration issue causing other problems that I haven't found yet?
