It looks like the Operator Code which is more commonly known as the Mobile Country Code

According to the Wikipedia page on Mobile Country Code (linked above) 653 10 is the code for Swazi MTN. 653 denotes the country, 10 denotes the operator.

  • thanks for the hint : Another question there is this service (restful api ) been offered by a company that claims that can be accessed through a private network using gsm network. I use a GSM SIM card for my internet connectivity how can I confirm what I am actually connecting to the said private network. – Francis May 29 '16 at 03:57
  • The company will give you a URL to access their REST API. You just make a GSM-network internet connection, and then access the REST API via the URL that the company has given you. Find any sample app for consuming a REST service, and you'll see how they use the URL. In C#, it would be HttpWebRequest.Create (new Uri (CompanysUrlHere)) – user1725145 May 29 '16 at 05:29
  • Having been try that for days, just confirmed the GSM SIM card is registered on the correct network. Have to conclude that their restful api has been configured incorrectly. – Francis May 29 '16 at 05:37
  • The mobile network connection is a lower level than the HTTP connection. Set it up and test it separately. When the GSM connection is working, then maybe try a public REST service, like "http://api.geonames.org/findNearByWeatherJSON?lat=" + latitude.Text + "&lng=" + longitude.Text + "&username=demo" (replace "demo" with a username that you create on their site). This should always work! Then you can try the private URL. – user1725145 May 29 '16 at 05:59
  • was able to get a response from api.geonames, just can't narrow down to where the issue is with this private URL. – Francis May 29 '16 at 06:36
  • Try asking the company if they've got some test code that shows their interface working? – user1725145 May 29 '16 at 08:52
