Switching options from within the phone menu? I cannot imagine this, but I am not saying it is impossible. I just cannot imagine how you will move from NetworkA to NetworkB - which means changing numbers.... Well, maybe the MNOs will have the software to support it:

I can imagine it like:

1. Select Network
2. Enter your mobile number
3. Enter your Password

...and automagically you are registered on NetworkX with your number, but what about the SIM-based services, like M-Pesa??

Only thing of debate is whether this will allow for GSM and CDMA to be on one phone.

Hmm, cctually, with the little thinking I have put into this, I suppose this is the easiest to achieve. I did not yet see a GSM device work on CDMA network. However, there are those devices that are both CDMA/GSM. I believe for this, it *might* be as simple as mode switching!
