help programming Galaxy Tab for provider

[silky28]

hey all.

I have a Sprint version of the Galaxy Tab that I am trying to get to work on the Bell Mobility network. I have unlocked the SPC, changed the PRL to a Bell PRL (31402) and changed NAM settings but I can't seem to get service. Was hoping I could get some assistance.

CDMA workship reads:

MIN and DIR number: phone number given to me by carrier
MCC/MNC: 302/64
SID/NID: 16420/65535
P ch: 283 777
s ch: 283 475
scm/sci/accolc/nam: 3b/1/5/1

The connection status on the Tab shows:

Device and Min number:the phone number bell gave me
network: Sprint
Signal Strength: -91db
Service state: in service
Roaming state: not roaming
Mobile Network: either connecting or disconnected

A few questions:

1) I got 302/640 for the Bell Mcc/MNC number but I cannot enter a 3 digit MNC number in the phone. I read that I can ignore the last digit for the MNC and just put 64. Is this right?

2) why does the it still say Sprint under Network? shouldn't the SID/NID and MCC/MNC cause it to switch to Bell? When I go into debug mode on the phone the SID number looks good and reads reads 16420 Rev:6 but the NID is wrong at 10005 SI:1 when it should read 65535. Any idea why QPST and CDMA workshop see home NID as 65535 but the phone shows 10005? could Sprint have put a lock on the NID to stop you from changing providers?

3) would it be better to change the ESN to clone my BB storm since I know I have service on it? I could pretty much just copy all of the settings from the storm into the TAB to see if it works.

thanks guys,
John

you need to write the country code (mcc) to 310 and the (mnc) to 00

Iv have done this but nothing has changed. Still reads sprint under network and the nid reads 10005 r6 si1 when it should be 65535
