How we can fetch the area code ( cell info ) in the third edition phones. Is it possible?

As I said earlier you can retrieve the MCC and MNC values.

The signal strength can be retrieved using "CTelephony::GetSignalStrength()" Go through the methods of CTelephony class to see what all information can be retrieved.

Well, Whenever a mobile registers to the network the IMEI number is sent from the handset to the mobile station during the handshake. The EIR (Equipment Identity Register) maintains the list of mobiles which are identified by their IMEI. An operator can maintain a Gray list which lists the IMEIs that need to be traced, and/or a Black list which lists IMEIs that need to be blocked.

For deeper insight, go through this link, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM_core_network

All this information on the IMEI code sounds good. But how can one track a LOST or STOLEN mobile by using this IMEI code ? Is it possible to track the SIMcard number being currently used based on submitting this IMEI code to the Mobile Manufacturer ( Eg. Nokia, Samsung , Motorola etc)? Or can we track the cell phone service provider ( BPL, Hutch, Airtel etc.)in such a case and what is the procedure ?

Hello all,

I write with regards to the authors' following comment:

"You can further extend the above code for retrieving other network information."

Any links to what these "other network information" might be would be greatly appreciarted.

Following is my contribution on how to retrieve IMEI and IMSI on S60 3rd edition. Along with that you can also use this code to retrieve network info (Cell Id, Location code). It can further be extended to retrieve other network information.
