Disable Cellular Network Notification/Messages?

Hm.... I spoke to my carrier, and they had no idea. However, I've been thinking about this, and I don't think it is my carrier, as I never used to get this problem on my N95, with exactly the same carrier, contract, and even sim card that I used with My N95.

The dude in the shop said that he's a beta tester for apple, testing the 3.01 software already, and that apparently it fixes loads of issues and bugs, although he didn't have any specific details. Does anyone know what 3.01 contains yet, and whether my problem might be one of the issues covered?

These messages are driving me insane, and I'm starting to seriously think about returning the phone. The intermittant network I can live with but the messages interrupting me every couple of minutes are infuriating!

I did think that about the front line staff, but this guy did actually seem to know what he was talking about! Once I mentioned that I work in IT, he told me that I should try xcom to view the activity log, and that might give me an idea of what's going on. I will try that at some point, I just haven't got time right now, so was seeing if anyone on here had any solutions first!

Although that said, I think he was the only person in the shop with a 3G S, and he did admit that he had never come across this problem before!

My phone carrier says: "O2 4.0"

Hmmm.... Guess I'll try calling O2. I guess you're right, it must be something to do with the carrier, if you don't get it, I guess I was just hoping that there'd be some way to turn off carrier messages or something in the menus. 🙂

Ian,

Here's a photo of the error message. You will notice that I do currently have signal, but this is because by the time I found a camera to take a picture of the iphone, it had got signal back already!

Also, forgot to say, if I click settings, it simply takes me to the operator select screen. It does not matter if it's set to automatic or if it's specifically ticked against O2, the error message still pops up...

I did setting it to O2 explicitly (in an earlier post - I think our messages crossed. 🙂 ) but it didn't help at the time. However, I was playing with a bunch of settings and I haven't had the notification for a good few hours now!

One of the settings I remember changing was the push notifications. It was turned on, so I turned it off. The only thing that it said was using them was star defense anyway. I don't know if O2 utilises this, or the iPhone 3G S uses this service to show network errors, or whether it wasn't this at all, and I've done something else that's sorted it! I did also reset my network settings, but I'm not sure that was what fixed it either, as I remember getting the error right after the reset also!

Still, whatever, it seems to be all good now! Fingers crossed it stays that way!

Thanks for your input ShadyMac, much appreciated, I'll give you the kudos for fixing this even if it did mysteriously fix itself - it could well have been one of the things you suggested that did it! 🙂

Now just gotta figure out why the bluetooth headset pairing doesn't seem to work so well!

Ok, thanks shadymac, I'll ask my carrier, o2.

Thanks again!

Marking as unanswered, because my Carrier claims that it's not them, and because I didn't get any errors on my old phone, with the same contract, sim and network...
