No idea, but they backup a lot stuff, like last used ARFCNs and so on.

I think it is stored in a file, but the read access will be disabled,
but you are right, the spec does not specify an EF:KI or anything semilar.

You could try to select all files 0000 to FFFF maybe you find something
undocumentated ;-)

No, that should be absolutely no problem - no phone will ever do a
select to this file ;-)

Regards.
