You have to use this version https://github.com/fairwaves/openbts-2.8 - testcall CLI
command was removed from mainline due to some political issues.

After you install it you can use testcall command to initiate call to given IMSI. A
very thorough description of using it is available at

Well, sipauthserv uses sqlite.db which maps IMSI to phone number. If you edit it to
make phone number == IMSI you can call using it. In order to avoid manually editing
each number/IMSI I'm afraid you've got to modify sipauthserve (or code which
interacts with it). Although it's not that hard - I've modified it to avoid calls to
sipathserve https://github.com/zabbal/openbts-p2.8

Also a little clarification - IMSI is normally written into SIM card. I think
osmocom-bb allows to modify on the fly but I don't remember exact command :(

Anyway, you can always use programmable SIM card to put any IMSI you like in there.
