Hello, Is it in any way possible to force roam into another gsm network like TMOBILE when att towers are in the area? I want to test a couple of things which involve force roaming to tmobiles network. Is it possible through seam editing something? I have a Motorola Razr V3 Thanks.

I don't understand how that link is relevant. I have att service, and I want to force roam into tmobiles or another network.

When I choose tmobile from that network and I hit register, it tries registering it, and then quickly switches back to AT&T.

that would be your sim programming at work. its switching you back to ATT because that network is available. there used to be a time when you could. but no more. this is to prevent excessive off network roaming. a cost cutting measure by ATT and presumably other carriers as well.,.when you roam to a different network it costs your carrier money to do so. but not you.so if the carrier can cut costs they will.
