I've never seen it like that.
1) are you roaming with a canadian SIM?
2) do you have an AT&T sim in an unlocked phone?

Roaming with Canadian SIM. Initially when switching to AT&T it would actually display AT&T, then it automatically switched to ATT. My phone is not jailbroken.
Probably a stupid question, but searching has returned no results.
You wouldn't happen to have that wallpaper available would you?
Oh that's pretty cool.
If you click T-Mobile ... it will connect you to a T-Mobile network? That's interesting.
I assume ATT and AT&T are the same thing.
Do you get (3G) data services on ATT? Do you get it on AT&T?

Yup. Right here: http://i53.tinypic.com/2ql8sxi.jpg

Connecting to T-Mobile would connect to the network, but calls would not go through. I'm assuming ATT and AT&T are the same as well. I just don't know why it would come up differently like that.
Thank you very, very much!
You know I read once upon a time that ATT could be one of the old blue towers and the newer AT&T alfa tag maybe the newer or even older Cingular towers. Location dependent of course.
I did not use data on AT&T to avoid tears when the phone bill comes in. Calls worked though, but it strangely did not say 3G or E.
If you have data roaming off under network, then that is probably why there is nothing there. However, if data roaming is enabled and there is nothing there ... then you do not have any data services available.
To get the Apple logo on mine I had to copy and paste, so here it is:
The iPhone icon is from an Emoji keyboard, find a free emoji app in the app store.
Yes data roaming was set to off. So basically 3G is an indicator of data services only, and calls should still connect as long as you have a signal.
Still, puzzling to see ATT there, even when AT&T is selected in Network Selection.
Correct, 3G and E only indicate data services. As long as you have a carrier name on the top left of the screen, you should be able to make calls.
Maybe ATT are the old (previously cingular) towers? Maybe those do not support data?

Alright, new not related to your question, question.
What does that lock with the circle around it on the top right of your phone mean?
