Looks like a pretty complete list to me. The most comprehensive I ever found was here:

http://www.csoft.co.uk/nox8/coverage_list.pl?ISO=US

The nice thing about that list is that it's not only GSM networks, but just about any cellular type network. Of course only GSM networks have MCC-MNC associated with them though. They actually have pretty good listings for just about every country in the world.

Addition:
311-150: Wilkes Cellular

Posted by: xlr8

@Roamer1: good update. Thanks. I got a number of these MNC's out of the plmn file from various motorolas. Others from research on the net and personal experience. All that (esp the use of the plmn file) might explain some of the outdated and "retired" MNC's on the list. FYI, your web site of SE cell and PCS carriers (quite thorough, I might add) lists Wilkes Cellular as 311-050 instead of 311-150. I personally roamed on this network earlier this week. Horrendous coverage, no AMR codecs, and no GPRS. Ugh!



Posted by: ilvla2

I can confirm that 310-090 is correct for Edge Wireless

So I take it that Sprint and Verizon should have MCC-MNCs as well? They offer SIM cards you can use for international roaming on GSM networks.

By the way, xlr8, great info. Watch for it make its way into the Cingular FAQ forum! Most likely, I will consolidate all the updates.

By the way, I didn't know 311 was also MCC for the US.

It might be valuable to split the list in two: active MNC's and retired MNC's. I also have a plmn_text_table.bin file (used on moto phones) with the latest info from roamer1's post. (It still includes all the retired MNC's associated with the last company that used it.) Plus all foreign MNC's are in a standard format of Provider Name listed first and two character country abbreviation listed second. The best way to view the list is with OpEdit from http://max.h15.ru/ . Or bring it up on your moto by going to My Network List > Add Network > Known Networks.

VZW "borrows" from Vodafone UK for their GSM roaming. The old SIM roaming service actually was provisioned on Voda UK and required customers to manually forward their VZW line to a UK mobile number before leaving CDMA/AMPS coverage; AIUI, the new A790 roaming is more automated but still borrows from Voda UK.

I have no earthly idea what SPCS does. I do expect that they'll start to take advantage of the yellow network roaming agreements sooner or later...

310 filled up, even despite T-Mobile's MNC consolidation and carriers who got MNCs getting bought out without building any GSM coverage first (HickoryTech) or going out of business (Wireless 2000/Northstar, Airlink, etc.)

316 is too, but only for iDEN carriers' MNCs.

310-150 on Cingular seems extinct now. All of NC-SC is now 310-410

Odd that T-mobile's MNC is 310-260, but they lock their phones to 310-200.

How about SE Georgia? I was down there not too terribly long ago (2-3 weeks) and I still used 310-150.

What the heck is USAC1ECI??? I was on this in southern IL this summer. My tag just said USA-190.....MCC-MNC was 311-190.

Also....I swear I also was on 310-090 in central IL and a wrong number dial said Cellular One

Roamer1 corrected this in his reply to my initial post:
311-190 USAC1ECI <-- Cellular Properties Inc. (aka CellOne East Central IL)

USAC1ECI was in my plmn file on my moto phone, which is where I got the wierd alpha tag. It makes since if you look at it now, knowing the company and area. USAC1ECI = USA Cell 1 East Central Illinois

Simply, the numbers are just network ID codes and we're trying to associate the codes with the carrier providing service. 310-260 is the T-Mobile network ID code. "310" is the MCC or mobile country code for the USA and "260" is the MNC or mobile network code for T-Mobile. Some carriers have more than one because of buying out various networks... a prime example is Cingular with both 310-410 and 310-380 (the old AWS network that they just bought).



Posted by: jagrskmu

Is there a way to see these numbers on my z500a?



Posted by: throttlebody

Hello everyone. I have been reading hofo for almost 2 years, but never registered due to lack of comment. Better to let people think your stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

I may be able to provide extra US/North America listings, comparing to those listed at the beginning of this thread. My list for the US/North America is much bigger on my V3 than my V400, also the V400 shows the obsolete carrier numbers . I haven't found a way to extract the information, as I am not big on editing bin files. I could take a few SS of the OPT program list from the bin file, or I could zip it, but I have no file host, so it would have to be emailed.



Posted by: acadiel

Most of the Tracfone handsets are locked to a MNC-MCC of 310-999.

(This might be good to put in the list as well.)

You know, I was in Arthur, IL yesterday and had this same USAC1ECI. When I called *611, I got "Cellular one of Central Illinois". I don't know what the MCC-MNC was (probably 311-190 like you said), but I'm curious which carrier that was.

As markets are integrated or converted, the 310-380 (AT&T) changes over to 310-410 (Cingular). It's not scheduled to be completed until Q4 2006.

sry this is noobish but what are these numbers for? do i need them? how would i go about adding them to my phone if i do need them.

Former Triton PCS areas that overlap with existing CellularONE areas in Virginia have been renumbered into 310-15. For example out in Front Royal or Spotslyvania County/Fredericksburg you'll find the former Triton PCS operating under 310-15, the old BellSouth Mobility DCS MNC. This is probably due to Triton PCS reading 310-49 in areas they still operate such as North Carolina.

Also 310-38 is still very much alive in the Washington/Baltimore region.



Posted by: PhoneBoy666

310-38 is alive and well in Washington state as well.

You don't really need them but your phone does; what the phone does, if your area has multiple GSM networks, or if you are driving along and your phone has to change from one network to another. Well, these numbers are what the phone actually uses to look up what networks are available for it to use; Cingular for instance doesn't have it's equipment broadcast "Cingular" out over the air... it broadcasts 310-480. Your SIM card has a list of what network numbers are called what, and that's how the phone knows to show "Cingular" onscreen. Usually you can edit this at least a little through a debug screen... when I had my Siemens S46, when AT&T Wireless' towers here switched to Cingular towers, my phone just showed "310-480" on screen until I found a menu to type in that 310-480 should display as "Cingular". Interestingly, some other network ID was already in there to display as "CINGULAR" (all caps) but I never saw that come up.

I recently was just able to get into seeing My Network List on my RAZR. I would really like to add to my Network List but it tells me its full. I would like to add Eastbrooke since my parents live in their coverage area and its where I'm originally from I would like it to be displayed. Is it safe to delete any of the numbers in the list or is that possible? I just got this after my RAZR crashed trying to activate AIM and I had to reflash with a monster pack and I think this is a neat thing to have esp using CellularOne Dobson. When I leave my area it will say Extended Area and have the triangle when I enter Cingular when I enter Eastbrook it would stay as CellularOne but I haven't left my service area since my phone crashed which was this past Saturday. Just was wondering if it was possible to add thanks!



Posted by: i0wnj00

^^
Yes, it's safe to delete the unwanted networks from the network list and add the ones you want, however if you turn off your phone for any reason the changes might/will be lost. I have removed entires on the network list without any problems and added my own.

310-260 is not retired.

OK..I give up...
What are these numbers all about? and how does knowing them help me?



Posted by: Booot

ok..

I have an unlocked ROKR E1. I get no service and it says emergency only. I go to settings < network < network list. I get cingular wireless at 310-990, Cingular at 310-410, 310-980, 310-170, 310-380, 344-930. I have many more, but I want to use Cingular or T-Mobile. I used to get T-Mobile service before this happened. I have a Cingular SIM and Cingular plan.

When I go to "availible networks" it says T-Mobile at 310-260. So I guess I need to use T-Mobile since its all that is availible. Correct?

My network setup is at Band - Automatic, Type - Automatic, Speed - Medium.

I dunno where I go from there. When I press register, nothing happens.

Please help me get A signal...I just want to be able to make calls for a change.

Thanks



How do I get a friggen signal for something

Nobody can help you here since roaming is controlled on the network-side.
One of three options...
1.) Buy a repeater.
2.) Move over to T-Mobile.
3.) Move to somewhere with better Cingular coverage.

One thing you can forget about for sure is using the T-Mobile network to receive/place calls. The only call you can make is the call to 911 since that's required anyways by Federal law.

Uh, no. It says "Emergency Only" because it sees the T-Mobile network, but you're not authorized to use it (you're a Cingular customer and there's no roaming agreement in yuor area between the carriers.) EIther Cingular doesn't have good coverage in your area, or your ROKR E1 has 850mhz or 1900mhz disabled (which is probably the case.) Find a different Cingular (or unlocked GSM) phone, and try your SIM in it. If it gets Cingular servcie, it's your phone. If not, it's Cingular (or rather, a lack of Cingular coverage in that area.)

Is there a map with these codes? I'd like to load up on some of these before I go to certain areas of the country. Or, at least associate each code with a state.

310-170 is still very very active is SoCal.

That's impossible, because States may have more then one active GSM network.
For an example in California there are four GSM networks throughout this State.
Where are these certain areas you want the network codes for?

New MNC's:
310-650: Jasper Systems

Soon to be five with Cell One of San Luis Obispo turning their GSM up this year.

So in CA we'll have Cingular, T-Mobile, Edge Wireless, Alltel and Cellular One of SLO.

I'm so curious about this. I wonder if they are turning on GSM just in preparation for TDMA going away, or if they are going to become an affiliate for somebody? I would imagine a GSM overlay is expensive, and I also can't imagine that their "local only" user base is that big since this county really isn't that big. I wouldn't think they could recoup the cost of the overlay, but heck, what do I know!

For maps, if you can figure out which operators are in your particular state, then you can look them up here:
http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_us.shtml
Some of the maps are outdated, but it gives you a good idea where they operate.
Unfortunately it's not so easy to go the other way, finding out which operators are in an area. My suggestion is to try to use google to get that answer.

What I'm wondering if there's a relationship between Dobson Communications and SLO Cellular One since Dobson does now own the Celluar One brand name and the service area map I have and their website doesn't make any mention of service in SLO County. Will Dobson Communications include SLO Cellular One in their service area once GSM is up and running?

If they see the need for a roaming agreement with them, it'll happen. Most GSM providers have an agreement with Dobson because of their large GSM footprint across suburban and rural America and their strong presence in Alaska.
Chances are there will at least be a unilateral agreement allowing SLO's customers to roam on Dobson.

I didn't mean roaming wise, but ownership of Cellular One SLO and recognizing it as a Cellular One market since Cellular One is technically a brand name of Dobson.

Probably not. SLO is far away from Dobson's other markets. Dobson concentrates on markets that surround major cities, mostly in the northeast and midwest. They license the brand name to many different providers, but they aren't marketed as if Dobson owns them. They say Cellular One from Dobson Cellular Systems if it's Dobson-owned. SLO would call themselves Cellular One of San Luis Obispo.

Cellular One of San Luis Obispo is independently owned, Dobson has nothing to do with them as far as I know. Celluar One West was owned by Western Wireless until Alltel took it over and changed their name to Alltel. Oh, by the way, their GSM is live and active now

I see on my Cingular Blackberry 8700c that I'm associated with the 310-380 MNC instead of 310-410. Why is this and how do I change it?

You're in California where Cingular is still 310-380 from the AT&T wireless merger a couple of years ago and hasn't switched to 310-410 yet.

Does anyone have the latest MNC table to date? Looking at the NAPRD doc and it is way outdated. From the tables on the 1st page of this forum, it looks like many of the MNC's are retired that still show active on the NAPRD10v2.6.11.

It would be great if someone can make a new 2007 table like they did on the first page for 2005.

Cheers!

I would like to see an updated list of the various carriers and where their towers are located.

I have no idea why I subscribed to this thread, so I had to look some definitions up.

I don't know why you did either. But I learned something from it...
