Hi everyone,

The other day the "roaming" triangle showed up on my iDrive screen for the first time and has remained on ever since. I have been using the same Blackberry curve phone connected via bluetooth for about 6 months. My cell provider is AT&T. I've never had any trouble pairing the phone and it never showed the roaming triangle ever before. Everything works fine - the screen just shows the roaming triangle even though I'm in my home area. Strange that it happened all of a sudden

Any ideas why?

Thanks

In general, there is no GSM roaming within the U.S.

I have one phone (a SE T610) that continuously shows the roaming /_\ symbol for no reason at all.

I would suggest updating the Curve's software just for the heck of it and seeing if the symbol goes away.

I have the same "issue" I have a Blackberry Pearl with AT&T and periodically the Phone icon will change to a triangle. It will stay that way for a month or so, then change back to the Phone icon. I have never figured out why. I'm driving in the same areas, etc. so nothing is different with the phone or service. Weird...
