2.5.3.2 Network operator identification
Once the mobile has registered on some network (or even if it has returned +CREG:x,3), it is possible
to query the mobile for network identifications codes an names:
•
send command AT+COPS=?<cr>
•
wait for response in the format:
+COPS: [list of supported (<stat> ,<oper (in <format>=0)>,,
<oper (in <format>=2)>)s][,,(list of supported <mode>s),
(list of supported<format>s)]
where:
<stat> - operator availability
0 - unknown
1 - available
2 - current
3 - forbidden
<format>
0 - alphanumeric long form (max length 16 digits)
2 - numeric 5 digits [country code (3) + network code (2)]
<oper>: network operator in format defined by <format> parameter.
NOTE: since with this command a network scan is done, this command may require some seconds
before the output is given.
For example:
command:
AT+COPS=?<cr>
Answer:
+COPS: (2,"I WIND",,"22288"),(1,"SI MOBITEL GSM",,"29341"),(1,"vodafone IT",,"22
210"),(1,"SI.MOBIL",,"29340"),(3,"I TIM",,"22201"),,(0-4),(0,2)
OK
In this case the mobile is registered on the network "I TIM" which is a network from Italy Nation code
:222 and Network ID: 01. There is also another network available for registration:
"SI.MOBIL" which is a network from Slovenia Nation Code:293 and Network ID: 40.
The other networks are not available for registration and are:
"I-OMNITEL" from Italy Nation code :222 and Network ID: 10 - FORBIDDEN
"SI-GSM " from Slovenia Nation Code:293 and Network ID: 41 - UNKNOWN
TIP: In this case a "I TIM" logo might be reproduced on the MMI to give the user the information
that is registered on that network.
NOTE: this command issues a network request and it may require a quite long time to respond,
since the device has to wait the answer from the network (it can be as long as 60 seconds).
Hence don't use it if not needed
.
