I know that at least here in the UK, its possible to select which network your phone connects to. So hidden away in the menus somewhere is a option to list available networks (and hence choose which one you want to connect to).
I've used this a times out of interest to find what is available (usually in desiding which network would be best for my next phone in given house). Certainly I've used this on Nokia and Samsung handsets. Of course I guess you looking for an API to get at this data? Which I have no idea.
