I changed the setting on my n95 to umts and have tried to make a normal call and got the message "no network coverage" this has never happened before and I always make calls from the same seat in my living room! Any info greatly appreciated. I have a question, does changing from dual mode to umts effect normal call coverage or just data connection?

At least here in Italy it also prevents the phone from roaming (because operators usually buy roaming for gprs/edge only... and flat data plan are not in effect while roaming!)

GSM is to ensure that you remain on gprs only and save you battery if you are moving in and out of 3G network and UMTS if you are in 3G. Dual allows the phone to automatically pick the best network it deems fit then I knew this.

We should not have to go so deep into the menus to do so. Maybe tie the mode to a certain profile. Like having GSM mode set to General profile and UMTS or Dual mode set to Outdoor profile.
