Hi Holger,

I think a phone can only receive SMS after it successfully registered itself 
at the network?

He saw it - thats the reason why he blame us.

I think his home network was not reachable and so his phone simply tried to 
"roam" into our network. The configured reject cause is:

   location updating reject cause 11

So in my understanding, after kicking out the phone, it should not try to 
automatically register to our network again until switched off or manually 
selecting our network, and instead simply switch back to the home network.

Probable instead of switching back, it stayed offline - until a power cycle as I 
heard.

Certainly not - "This never happened elsewhere - it must be your network!".
