Hello, everyone here: I also has the similar confusion. I use Iphone, Nokia and Huawei MS to test openBTS, I set the MCC and MNC the same to local provider, and then I find Iphone can automatically disconnect with the local provider and access to the openBTS, but the Nokia and Huawei can not. 1. Does the difference completely caused by Iphone? 2. Further more, how to configure the openBTS can make other mobile phone automatically access to openBTS? The URL http://www.mentby.com/Group/openbts-discuss/noob-configure-questions.htmldiscussed the same questions but I still confused! Thank you..

Dear Baobaonanpo, One of my friend has told me that, newer mobiles will not do a location update/hand over, unless the new base station has better capabilities(Say GPRS, EDGE etc) than existing/serving base station. I feel this can be one of the reasons. Anybody has information on this?? regards Rudheesh ________________________________ From: baobaonanpo D <bao...@gm...> To: don...@ra... Cc: ope...@li...

A phone will generally prefer a 3G tower to a 2G tower, and a clearer 2G tower to a less clear 2G tower. The system is not designed to let you come in with a rogue BTS and hijack 3G (or even 2G) traffic. That's intentional; systems that do that are illegal (and highly unethical).

Dear Kurtis, I fully accept your point about openBTS. We should not play on the spectrum, where somebody else have bought a license for billions and we should abide by the laws of the land. I only tried to give some light on the issue faced by Baobaonanpo. Baobaonanpo has tried with same MCC & MNC as that of the serving cell and the mobile was not disconnecting from the serving network. As per your explanation, may be the serving network has better capabilities. thanks & regards Rudheesh ________________________________ From: Kurtis Heimerl <khe...@cs...> To: Rudheesh <rud...@ya...> Cc: baobaonanpo D <bao...@gm...>; "don...@ra..." <don...@ra...>; "ope...@li..." <ope...@li...> Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2012 11:56 PM Subject: Re: [Openbts-discuss] Question about Open Registration (Donald Kirker) A phone will generally prefer a 3G tower to a 2G tower, and a clearer 2G tower to a less clear 2G tower.
