hey.

i have a w580i through ATT (debranded, thanks partially to this forum). just an oddity that i find interesting.

my desk is in the basement of a large office building. i moved over to ATT from VZ, with VZ i got no signal at my desk and i was pretty much expecting the same with ATT. strange thing tho, sitting at my desk i get 4 bars and the message "Emerg. Calls Only". curious, i looked in the user's manual and it states that you will get this message if you're getting signal on a network you're not allowed to use.

we have plenty of wifi coverage, but i would be very surprised if this phone is picking up 2.4ghz wifi signals and is able to recognize and use them.

so i figure there's some other GSM provider in the area, perhaps with a tower so close it's able to penetrate all the way to the basement here.

so my question is, any idea how i can figure out what network the phone is seeing?

thanks.
