Need help with network codes..

Hello everyone, went driving around to North Central Wisconsin to enjoy the fall colors.

The following codes got logged on the 6682 using CellTrack:
310-41
310-77
310-56
310-38
310-64
Always with great signal strength.

006-37
002-17
421-43
421-13
With poorer signal strength to almost nothing on 421-13.

I know that 310-41 is Cingular Orange. Can someone tell me what the others are or point me to a site that will have this info.

Thanks Much

PS: ShoresGuy, thanks for getting me hooked on CellTrack

 

Hi Shizam, thanks very much, yes they all have a zero on the end, that's how CellTrack logs it, sorry should have meioned it.

Ok per Bobolito's list I get:

310-410-Cingular Orange
310-770-Iowa Wireless
310-560-Cellular One
310-380-Former AT&T
310-640-Einstein PCS

So then what are these? Certainly not GSM right?
006-37
002-17
421-43
421-13

Thanks Much

 

Thanks COtechThat's interesting that it was logging in CDMA. It only did that group in about a 7-10 mile stretch of I39 south of Stevens Point. So not only is my GSM phone logging CDMA, it also doesn't know the diffence between East and Central ......LOL.

Where can I find out about the rest of
the second group?

ShoresGuy & Shizam thanks very much for verifying that the second group is not GSM.

 

Thanks much Cotech that explains it. My phone was picking it up as interference, since it was not an usable signal.

PS: I have both an active Verizon & T-Mobile account together with Cingular - Don't ask......

 

It's pretty intriguing that it logged CDMA signal, even if it was only interference. One of the other SID's is probably Verizon, I will check into it.

Hey, I know, it is close to Halloween & CDMA signals are trying to posses my GSM phone.

 

I went back checked the numbers in the data base and although some of them I didn't save but out of the second group "42113" was saved and is still in the CellTrack Program, so how did that happen?

 

Thanks, I am beginning to think so also. Unfortunately the numbers were represented exactly the same way as the 310 numbers in my CellTrack program so it is confusing. Maybe I will E Mail the developer of the program and ask? It will be interesting to hear his explaination.

BTW: Thanks for the info on MCC-MNC that you posted on HoFo that Shizam steered me to.

 

Thanks ShoreGuy, I just did, max 5 min. before you posted. What can I say, GREAT MINDS .

It will be interesting to see what he says.

 

Some more interesting observation. We went to Chicago and back today, and I logged in about 86 towers each way. The interesting thing was that all of them were 310-410 or Cingular Orange.

So my question is are they all original Cingular or have the ATT towers been converted over on the stretch of I94 & I294 to the south side of Chicago.

Thanks much.

PS: I haven't hard from Axel Fischer yet.

 

Just got a reply from Axel Fischer, this is what he wrote:

"No idea for that. But I've heard in Germany e.g. the company Siemens has a own MMC-MNC for testing - available in Munich.
May be we have the same situation here??"


So does anyone know of US companies that have their own test MMC-MNC?

Thanks

 

Thanks much bobolito.

I think it is time to give up on my quest to figure out the goofy numbers that got logged Saturday, since the developer can not help either......

 

Some more information from Axel Fischer in reply to my further questions:

Me: It is quite possible that those are test frequencies. It was not any usable signal.
Axel: I'm not sure. When the signals are lost the program (Nokia API) doesn't bring good values to display. And the API defined status are not comming out as expected - still wrong values are reported. I had to learn this when I did a travel by train and reached a tunnel area.

Me: One thing that was particularly interesting is that 217 is USCC in WI,
which is a CDMA carrier. Is it at all possible to log CDMA on my GSM
phone as interference?
Axel:This could be. The new Nokia API should bring 'Cdma95' or 'Cdma2K' on 1st display.

best wishes
Axel Fischer

Interesting......
