Question I just bought a CECT LH01 mini Iphone Clone.....
I put an active ATT sim in it. The directions say there should be a setting for Auto Network detection, I can't find that setting. I get some service, but not as good as I used to have.
Do you have the Network Settings for AT&T in VA?
Thanks
George
Answer Hi George -
If you get any service at all, you have set up the device properly so there wouldn't be anything additional to set up. The reason that you are having issues with this device is because it is only a tri-band phone and has only one band for the US. AT&T uses both the 850 and 1900 bands in the US and you are missing that second band. There aren't any special settings for AT&T in different parts of the country. All of the settings are the same, I'm afraid. In all honesty, this is not the best phone for an AT&T subscriber and I'm afraid that you are going to continue to have issues with it. I'm hoping that there may be a way for you to return this phone because I really think that you might be happier with a phone that was designed and certified to work with AT&T's network, if at all possible. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
