Keywords (APIs, classes, methods, functions): XQSysInfo::mcc(), XQSysInfo::mnc()

Overview

This code snippets shows how to get MCC and MNC from device in Qt. Basically IMSI is 15 digits long number. The first 3 digits of IMSI are the MCC, and is followed by the MNC, either 2 digits (European standard) or 3 digits (North American standard). So retriving MCC and MNC from IMSI is not always safe, thus implemented this method to get MCC MNC from CTelephony::GetCurrentNetworkInfo() API of symbian.

This snippet requires ReadDeviceData capabilities. Self-signing is not possible because a Developer certificate is needed.

Prerequisite

• Install Qt for S60:Installing Qt on S60
• Download ExtXQSysInfo.zip.
• Extracting ExtXQSysInfo.zip and place all the file in your project directory.
• Edit your .pro file as mentioned below.
  
  

Note: These files are extended from source file of XQSysInfo API. More clearly , i have just edited some file of XQSysInfo API to get MCC and MNC. XQSysInfo::mcc() return MCC and XQSysInfo::mnc() return MNC.

Headers required

#include <XQSysInfo>

.pro file

All source files are automatically added to .pro file by carbide, so need to add the libraries and capability only.

symbian:LIBS += -letel3rdparty \
   -lsysutil \
   -lefsrv \
   -lfeatdiscovery
 
symbian:TARGET.CAPABILITY = ReadDeviceData

Source

XQSysInfo *sysInfo = new XQSysInfo(this);
/* show MCC on label */
ui.label->setText("MCC: " + sysInfo->mcc());
/* show MNC on label */
ui.label_2->setText("MNC: " + sysInfo->mnc());

Postconditions

The code snippet is expected to show MCC MNC on screen as showm bellow.

• The Code Example will show MCC and MNC on screen and is tested on Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.
