Provider unlock information
The Service provider (SP) lock is used to lock the cell phone to
the SP's SIM card. Once the cell phone is locked to a specific operator,
and one inserts a SIM card from a different operator the phone will refuse
to accept it! The cell phone will however accept another SIM card from the
same operator.

Firmware
information
Firmware
The phone should display something similar to this:
5.31
06-01-96
NHE-4
First line
The firmware Version
Second line
The date of the SW release.
Third line
NHE-4 has something to do with the type of phone you are dealing with.
Is it GSM 900 (standard), GSM 1800 (DCS1800) or GSM 1900 (PCS1900)?
Nokia 2110, 3110, 8110(i) are all NHE types. The only thing that vary is
the code after NHE- ("4").
NHE = GSM 900, NHK =GSM 1800 - The number in the end = the model (2110i =
4 etc.)
Firmware
update
We have been asked a lot about how to update the firmware in Cellular
phones.
The easiest thing to do is to go to the nearest cellular dealer and make
him do it for you.
Just remember that it is supposed to be free if the garranty has not ran
out however a receipt is normally required.

General
information
Cell
Broadcast
While Short Message Service (SMS) can be configured as a personal service,
Cell Broadcast is a general service which is designed for subscribers of a
specific cell or topic. For example, a subscriber to cell 050 in England
will receive information on the GSM tower currently being used by their
phone. This new concept brings a whole new meaning to the term mobile
communications as the phone is now able to receive information such as
share prices or weather updates without the need of data cards and
computers. At present the following message types exist (note: this may
vary from carrier to carrier and some carriers may charge for this
service):
Code Title
000 Index
010 Flashes
020 Hospitals
022 Doctors
024 Pharmacy
030 Long Distant Road Reports
032 Local Road Reports
