Hi,
Cellnet network operates on GSM 900,
and that SW of DIGA is special because
of the SimCard they use.
It's a some kind of 'open' card - don't
require Network authorization and can operate
in every country which has agreement with
Cellnet. It's a PrePay Card and only limitation is that the IMSI is related with
the IMEI of the original phone in the Network
Registry. So you buy the phone with the Sim
Card fitted in and use it , put it in another phone(Diga from Cellnet) and you
get 'IMSI failure' message.
Other thing is that the credit limit and the
counter for the calls are... in the phone!!!
Yes right, so thanks Microchip and Philips
for sure, that was the root of the biggest
mobile phone fraud in the mobile phone history realized in the 100% secure,digital
GSM world. For more info go to 'EasyLife forum'
So I think, you have to rewrite the firmware
not a problem - only 2 chips.
Thanks for listening.
