Hi all, I have been trying to connect to OpenbBTS network from mobile phones. When I edit the preferred network list on mobile and search the available networks in manual mode. But I am not able to register to it. An HTC mobile gave an error of "Your SIM card doesn't allow connecting to this network" and a Celkon mobile says "Failed to register" when tried to register to the Test network. I am using MCC/MNC = 001/01 and 900 GSM band. I am using a UNINOR local SIM, which does not have coverage at the place where i am experimenting. Can anyone please suggest me what are the problems that could be with my phone or SIM card? I am also trying to employ the external clock of 10MHz but have not yet. Please suggest me what to do. I am stuck up here.. :( Thank you, Madhuri.

Phone messages can be deceiving, however, so it may still be something with the BTS. > and a Celkon mobile says "Failed to register" when tried to register to the > Test network.

NOTICE level is fine. My guess is that the BTS isn't receiving messages. >   Can anyone please suggest me what are the problems that could be with my > phone or SIM card?

I am stuck up here.. :( If your phone sees the network, I wouldn't worry about the 10 MHz reference. It may help with reliability, but if your phone _never_ connects, then it's probably not a clock issue. Thomas

Hi! why don't you try using a different MMC/MNC combination, it could help if it is a SIM problem... I would suggest using a code of Uninor (there are several 405/819, 405/820, 405/821, 405/822). Let us know if it works and good luck. Un saludo / Best Regards Asier Alonso Muñoz Investigador / Researcher TECNALIA-Telecom Tecnalia, Parque Tecnológico, Edificio 202.

Hi, This actually should go to OpenBTS mailing list - please post there next time. I suggest you to check your Asterisk sip.conf - it will reject connections if you haven't added IMSIs of your phones there. PS We should probably add a FAQ entry with all things to check in this popular case.
