Habe ich Kunden im @o2cando-Netz unter meinen Followern? Versucht mal, eine SMS zu schicken, die die beiden Wörter "http" und "Bestellung" enthält. Egal ob Sender oder Empfänger oder beide im o2-Netz sind. Kommt sie an?.

AT&T only has 4G and 5G remaining in the US (they switched off 3G in February), so what happens if you roam into their network with a SIM from a provider who doesn't have a VoLTE roaming agreement with them?.You get this text message 🙂

This is great: "3GPP Overall Archtitecture and Specifications", including 5G up to Release 17!.I'd like to have this as a poster.

3GPP全体アーキテクチャを更新しました。今回はRelease-17をカバーしました。ようやく完成したといえます。横幅(3929px)が広がったので5G NFの略語なども入れることができました。ぜひDLして壁紙にするなり印刷するなりしてご活用ください。

Some aspects of the original story have been fictionalized to make it more interesting for the viewer, but I think the show does a decent job of conveying the feeling of being a young computer nerd in Berlin after the Wall came down.

"The Billion Dollar Code" is out on Netflix. It's based on a true story, and the Berlin-based company the show is about was coincidentally also the first company I was ever employed at, back in the 90s.

Wrote a small tool for easier analysis of SS7 MAP and Diameter traces with Wireshark:. Features:.- put each SCTP chunk in its own packet.- group together messages from one transaction.- apply Wireshark filters to transactions instead of single messages

And while it is possible for a network operator to protect inbound roamers on SS7, it is currently almost impossible to do so on Diameter (the SS7 successor, used for 4G roaming).

"Track & intercept any phone in the world" is not as easy anymore as it was five years ago. Many network operators take measures to protect their own subscribers. But they can't protect you once you are roaming in another network, and most networks don't protect inbound roamers.

Thanks to everyone who voted. I'm with the majority here, but only since phones have no visible antennas anymore, otherwise you ended up with a hole in your pocket or a damaged antenna or both. :).

I switched my phone to "LTE only" a few weeks ago and haven't looked back. Sub-optimal 4G reception is still preferrable to full 2G/3G reception in most cases. (Yes, 2G/3G fallback is still a thing in Germany, even in urban areas).

Bei @o2de können sie sich nicht mal mehr anständige Ausreden leisten. Ich wollte einen Telefonbucheintrag löschen lassen. Hotline: "Das können wir bis Ende des Jahres(!) wegen der ganzen Sache gar nicht mehr machen". Ich: "Welche Sache?".Hotline: "Na Corona!!".🤦‍♂️.
