Getting time from a GPRS modem

Is there a possibility to get current time (UTC preferred) from a(connected) GPRS modem? I've been searching through the Telit ATCommands Reference Guide, but only references to "time" are incontext of SMS. Not sure if it depends on the type of modem, buta possible candidate is the Telit GE863.In the past we have used NTP over the dataconnection to get timeon our device. But for a new device, I was hoping to skip the addedcomplexity of using NTP. Mainly to avoid having to set up a dedicatedNTP server or make arrangements with or another provider.-- Stef (remove caps, dashes and .invalid from e-mail address to reply by mail)If life isn't what you wanted, have you asked for anything else?

As far as I know, this wil only set the timezone automatically, not the actual time. We found a phone that has the option to set the timezone automatically, not found any that can set the actual time. Do you have other information?

And the 'some networks' might be a problem as well, a method that works on 'all networks' is of course preferred. :-).
