Motorola RAZR V3
Need Some Help with new Razr Phone
I just signed up with Cingular 2 days ago and got a Razr phone. The phone came unlocked and is not branded as Cingular.
Everything works fine except the screen says I'm using AT&T Wireless and the roaming indicator shows up on the display. My area has been fully converted to Cingular. My friend has a V551 that he got from Cingular and he hasn't see the phone change to any other carrier.
I contacted the store and they told me not to worry about it. It seems as though something is definitely wrong with the phone.
Cingular support didn't have any idea.
Anyone know about this? Thanks.

It would appear that you may be the 2nd owner of your "new" RAZR. There are SEEM edits that can be done to create the behaviour you describe.
In particular, your phone has been editted to show the alpha tag (carrier) from the cell tower and to show the roaming indicator.
I have editted my RAZR to get rid of all Cingular branding (custom startup/shutdown, menus, and gifs), show the tower alpha tag, manual network selection, remove "press 1 for voicemail", and a few others.
As long as your RAZR gets good RF, has a tight hinge, and good battery life, don't worry. You can always un-edit the changes, provided you have a mini-USB cable for it.
