Nope, the PDF is the most current list I know of.

 

That should be 310-380 or just 38 which was AT&T Wireless.

 

That could very well be. My Motorola V525 is only able to identify it as USA-038. Entering it as 310-380 or 310-38 brings up AT&T Wireless in the "My Network List".

 

Ewwps! My bad. I did not even think about the fact that the vendor might change the padding of the various digits. Nokia did this with their DCT-3 CDMA phones, padded everything to five digits for Base_ID/SID/NID and three digits for PN Offsets. With the DCT-4 those leading digits are remove which takes some getting used to... Hope my reply didn't come off as brusk!

 

Not at all. You could easily have been right. I find that the network list is a very useful feature since that way I can tell which network is connected to the MNC. Despite some searching I wasn't able to find anything pertinent to the MNC.

Peter, where exactly did you pick up this network?

 

haha! What kind of name is "Concho" for a phone company? Is that Mexican or something? :lmao:

 

Cellular One/Concho Wireless

Serves Central Texas and the Hill Country. More info here http://www.mountainwireless.com/celltx.shtml

 

So where is Dobson in that PDF? 310-680 that is Dobson in Michigan is still listed as NPI Wireless and 310-560 that used to be Dobson's MCC-MNC in the Thumb of Michigan is now listed as American Cellular Corp.

 

Here's another nicely formatted list available without having to actually download a PDF and all. My only issue with it is that it lists a bunch of MNC's as "Cellular One DCS" and doesn't specify WHICH CellularOne it's referring to.

The link doesn't work for me.

 

Nor does it work for me. I haven't been able to find that list by going through the other pages.

 

Ok, I'm an idiot... here's the correct URL

http://www.livejournal.com/users/kayfox/158988.html I think I left the L off html.

 

Thanks, that worked like a charm. I couldn't find 310-038 so I'll assume that the MNC being asked about earlier was AT&T's former MNC, 310-380.

 

I do wish his list was more comprehensive... all the T-mobile MNC's just say T-mobile but it doesn't specify which areas are served by each MNC (for example 310-270 is the former Powertel markets and 310-660 is the old DigiPH market in southern AL). Ditto for Cingular's MNC's and such.

However, I did find this really nice listing but it lumps TDMA, GSM and CDMA carriers all together. I did find out from this list that 310-310 is the old Aerial markets, 310-580 is the old PCSOne markets (PA?), 310-160 is the old Omnipoint markets, etc... Oddly, this list has updated 310-680 from NPI to T-mobile when it should (I thought) be CellularOne. The other list linked above still shows it as NPI.

"DCS" = Dobson Cellular Systems. That list identifies other small CellOnes (Concho, etc.) as Dobson, though, which is plain wrong...and there are a few other little errors, such as Wilkes being completely wrong (they are 311-150 and only 311-150). Still, it's the best list I've seen.

I have the T-Mobile/Cingular MNCs broken down at http://www.roamer1.org/wireless/sid.html (down toward the bottom)

I do believe they don't mean DCS in the sense you're referring... I believe they're using the DCS moniker the same way Bellsouth did.. Digital Communication Systems or whatever.

 

Correct. 310-680 Dobson/Cellular One is what I use here in the Thumb of Michigan.

 

So this makes me wonder... Given that NPI was very much buddy-buddy with T-mobile before the buyout, does the relationship remain intact for the most part?

 

From T-Mo's coverage map, it looks like they can roam on the former NPI 1900 towers. I know Dobson is 850 in the Thumb, but can't remember for sure if they are 850 in NW Michigan also. Do you know if NPI was 1900? I'm kinda guessing they were. I do know that all of Michigan is 310-680 and includes both systems. Dobson took the 310-680 MNC for some reason. Maybe it was less costly to convert, maybe they had fewer towers than NPI.

Actually the DCS moniker does stand for "Dobson Cellular Systems." That's how Dobson distinguishes their Cellular One brand from others (such as Concho, the old Western Wireless, etc.). Check out their logo on their webpage...

The FCC nicknames each RSA with one of the counties that is contained within each RSA's licensed area. Concho County is the northwestern-most county in the Texas RSA 15 service area - hence the name Concho Cellular Telephone Co (although they use the Cellular One brand name in the market for the most part).

 

I wasn't implying that it didn't stand for that. I was just saying that the person who posted the list on his blog didn't mean DCS in that way, he meant it the same way Bellsouth used to call their service "Bellsouth Mobility DCS" (which was never and never will be affiliated with Dobson).
