Hi Clive,
They are all different data modes. UMTS is not supported in the UK.
Dual mode is always best, because if you wander out of your home network, it
allows your phone to search for a stronger signal.
All the best
Steve

Subject: [talks-uk] Network modes and battery life
Hello fellow listers,
Does selecting a network mode affect the battery life on a mobile phone? My
Nokia N91 has three network modes, dual mode , UMTS and GSM. I am on
T-Mobile and I can use the dual mode and GSM, but when I select UMTS the
phone goes off-line and I lose the network connection. When I select dual
mode and check the network status, I sometimes hear 3G, so the phone must
use this connection when available.
Can someone on the list please explain what these modes mean and how they
affect battery life. As I use Talks this shortens the time between charges,
and I know you can adjust the backlight and display settings. Any help most
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Best wishes,
Clive pallett
