[maemo-developers] Trying to switch GSM provider by API

[From: Sivan Greenberg]

#define TIMEOUT 666666 /* Beelzebub sends his regards. Twice. */

Hahah! The funniest remark I've seen in years in C constant code. I am
going to test this as well as I am facing a similar issue , but I want
to be able to change from 3G(UMTS) to 2G(GSM) programatically for
calls rates reasons.
