This method doesn't quite work with the Samsung Galaxy Mini. While you can still access the menu after dialing *#*#4636#*#* and select "WCDMA Only" , your selections revert back to the default setting of "GSM Auto". As a result, the 3G Only fix doesn't work, and your phone will activate roaming when Mobilicity's signal is low enough. The fix? Essentially, you have to follow the procedure outlined in this thread. Specifically, point #3, for the Samsung Galaxy Hercules. 1. Follow the 3G Only fix. 2. After that, dial *#*#2263#*#*. That brings up the ServiceMode menu. 3. Select the second option, WCDMA Band Preference. 4. You should find yourself with a list of WCDMA bands. Select the third one, WC DMA 1700. 5. Your display should now read Band Pref: WCDMA 1700. 6. If you want to be 110% sure your phone is set, hit the Menu key, then select Back. An asterisk, enclosed between two square brackets, denotes your current se tting, which should now be WCDMA 1700. 7. Hit the Menu key once more, then back, taking you to the ServiceMode menu. Th en, hit the Home key. 8. Now, most importantly, savour your awesome Samsung Galaxy Mini, which will no w never roam.
