Band Preference +WBND

Description: The Band Preference of a CDMA modem governs the basic system acquisition behavior of

the MS in conjunction with the mode preference (+COPS) and the PRL (Preferring Roaming
List). It’s important to note that the PRL takes precedence over band preference when
guiding the phone to a band. The PRL must allow a particular band first, before the band
preference can take effect. In other words, a band preference change is simply a request;
the PRL decides whether or not to allow it. If the setting is accepted by the MS, the value will
be written to non-volatile RAM and persist after a power-cycle.

Note 1: This command is not available in Sprint®. and Verizon. software versions.

Note 2: <band> 1 (PCS) is not available in RUIM software versions.

Values:

The parameter values are the following ones:

<band>

2: Cellular A or B
3: Cellular A
4: Cellular B
