Well, there is always OMA Client Provisioning for that purpose. However, I would leave this question to UX designers and someone that actually knows operator requirements regarding which name (network provided or provisioning/gprs-context name) to show for Internet access selection. Also, by the way, when roaming, network name is different from normal home name, and this may or may not be desirable for internet access name... In any case, regarding the original issue if reading SPN is really needed for provisioning, the answer is still yes. There are cases where different SPN means different gprs context settings (other than 'Name' too). --Jukka _______________________________________________ ofono mailing list ofono@ofono.org http://lists.ofono.org/listinfo/ofono
