User's Manual

Notes about the set forceplmn command:
If the manual selection fails, the device will fall back to the previous ‘good’ network.
When enabled, the SMS acknowledgement reply reflects the success or failure of the manual selection with respect to the
set
command and includes the final MNC/MCC that was configured.
Confirming the currently configured operator and network type
You can retrieve the currently configured operator and network type using the get forceplmn command.
The get forceplmn command returns the operator and network type selection mode (Automatic/Manual), in addition to the MCC
and MNC values, for example:
Automatic,505,3
This response indicates that the operator/network selection mode is Automatic, and the network used is Vodafone AU.
