If you'd like to query the active cellular operator name from Arduino_FONA.cpp,
Add this block (I put it just below the IMEI function), as well as adding the prototype in the .h file.
Now you can query the modem when it's registered, to see which carrier it is using.
Voila!
/******** OPERATOR ********************************************************/
boolean Adafruit_FONA::getOperator(char *op) {
getReply(F("AT+COPS?"));
char *p = prog_char_strstr(replybuffer, (prog_char*)F("+COPS: "));
if (p == 0) return false; // no reply string
p+=12; // step into the reply string
char *rp = strchr(p, 0x22); // double-quotes
*rp = 0; // null terminate the carrier name
strcpy(op, p); // copy to our return buffer
readline(); // eat 'OK'
return true;
}
Enjoy.
