Ive got a Nokia 5190 which I aquired when I was with PowerTel. It still sports the PowerTel service name on the screen. I wanted to know how to change it from PowerTel to Vstream and even T-Mobile. Is it possible?

Thanks!

You can change it to whatever you want with a dlr3 cable and logo manager. Or look to download an operator logo off the internet.

See if you can call Voicestream and get them to send you a SIM update.

The software on the phone would probably have to be upgraded.

Home market name is stored on the SIM, not in the phone, and can be updated by (more or less) an administrative SMS. Names displayed when roaming (in a system using another MNC) are pulled from the phone, and only a firmware update can change them.

(This means you may see things such as phone showing "Vstream" in 310-270 old Powertel, but "Aerial" in 310-310, "Omnipoint" in 310-160, "BellSouth" in 310-150, "USA 38" for AT&T, etc. My old 6190 does exactly that.)
