Changing Carrier Status Display on v60c Phone?

Something is really bugging me. My wife and I have a shared AT&T
Wireless account. When I turn my new v60c phone on--and after the
splash screens appear--the field in the startup screen that shows the
carrier status usually shows "SHARED." That's OK, but here's what
really bugs me, because it just looks sloppy: the word "SHARED" is
not centered on the screen as are the time and date, but is about 3
characters too far to the left. (On those occasions when they appear,
"AT&T" and "ROAM" are nicely centered.)

So my question is, how do I fix this? (I know it's possible because I
had a very nice AT&T Wireless tech support person telling me how until
someone apparently told her not to, causing her to beg off.)

Yes, I know it sounds like I'm OCD, but please help me if you can!

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I'll give it a shot.

As it turned out, the process was a little more complicated--had to go
into NAM Setup > Level 1 > Level 3 > PSID/RSIDs > PSID/RSID1 > Alpha
Tag--but you got me on the right track. The display now reads,
centered, "AT&T Wireless", rather than that dorky non-centered
"SHARED." Sloppiness of this sort always make me wonder where else
sloppiness exists in a system, and whether it's a sloppiness that can
cause real trouble.

Thanks again for your help.

I tried this on a Motorola C353 TDMA phone. I pressed #7764726# (which
is the numbers that give "program") and then Snd. It proceeded to make
the call. I got en error message from

Sounds like? Try textbook case.

Its just a matter of time before you walk into the room and all your
friends and family will be there, and want to have a chat.
They call it an "intervention".
BTW, If they tell ya the planes going to Disney World, don't believe them.

Thus the reason why I told him this was the code to do it on the v60's
nowhere does it say it works for all motorolas..

I know you didn't say it would work on my phone. Many of the codes for
Nokia phones work multiple models and I HOPED that the same could be
said for Motorola phones.

Does anyone know a way to change the alpha tag on a C353?
