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>
	0: Any
	1: PCS
	2: Cellular A or B
	3: Cellular A
	4: Cellular B
