Hi,
Excerpts from Dario Lombardo's message of Mon Sep 10 09:52:44 +0200 2012:
No, I don't know any tool. That is why I wrote it myself.

Ok. I tested more sim cards and found different behaviours:
- Vodafone (germany) + Vodafone CallYA: rewrites EF_PLMNsel at every power up
- SFR: rewrites EF_PLMNsel at every power up
- universal (bouygues): does not rewrite EF_PLMNsel, even in the phone (card not
active/can not connect to network anymore)
- virgin mobile (orange franche): does not rewrite EF_PLMNsel, even in the phone (card not
active/can not connect to network anymore)
- O2 prepaid: does not rewrite EF_PLMNsel at boot, but rewrites in the phone (card not
active/can not connect to network anymore)
- O2 loop (older): does not rewrite EF_PLMNsel, even in the phone. card did connect to the
network.
I used a Motorols C121 as phone.
I will try SIMtrace on the o2 prepaid card to see what is happening and check if the phone
rewrites it, or the SIM card does it itself (due to some sequence of instructions).
Hi,
Curious, but I tested it and also came to the same conclusion (with a current vodafone
card).
The changes on PLMNsel are not stored permanently. On the next power up, the SIM will
rewrite this file.
That's not exactly what I observed. Powering up the card in a card
reader, I checked that the list is modified. But putting it into a
cell phone, I found it restored. Here some code to test it:
https://www.tsaitgaist.info/private/plmn.tar.xz
The source is open (it uses libpcsc), but only use it to verify the results (e.g. not
distributing it), as the code is not yet ready to be published (the file will be removed
in 2 days).
Going to test it. Do you know open source suites for sim card
management? The most complete one I know is from Dekart, but is for
win and commercial/closed. Anything useful for open source/unix world?
