Radio info on the Lumia 635

[OntarioBlackberry]

Hello everyone,

Currently own a BlackBerry Z30 but was thinking of buying a Lumia 635 to get a bit of a taste of Windows Phone 8.1.

Couple of questions...

Is there a way to determine the Cell ID (CID) on the Lumia 635? On BlackBerry, the CID can be viewed by accessing the engineering screens or by downloading an app. I believe the equivalent of the BlackBerry "engineering screens" on the Lumia 635 can be accessed via "field test" mode; can anyone confirm if this is correct? If yes, what radio information can be viewed? I have watched a few videos on YouTube demonstrating "field test" mode but they are quite short and not very detailed.

Lastly, is there a way to determine the ARFCN on the Lumia 635 or on Windows Phone, in general?

Many thanks!

I've pulled out my 635 and poked through field test.

I can confirm that Cell ID is present among the various menus in various places. but I think you'll know more than me about which to use. (many say NA, one was in both hex and decimal)

What is ARFCN?
