- Attributes
Remarks
Returns fine-grained carrier ID of the current subscription.
A specific carrier ID can represent the fact that a carrier may be in effect an aggregation of other carriers (ie in an MVNO type scenario) where each of these specific carriers which are used to make up the actual carrier service may have different carrier configurations. A specific carrier ID could also be used, for example, in a scenario where a carrier requires different carrier configuration for different service offering such as a prepaid plan.
the specific carrier ID would be used for configuration purposes, but apps wishing to know about the carrier itself should use the regular carrier ID returned by #getSimCarrierId().
e.g, Tracfone SIMs could return different specific carrier ID based on IMSI from current subscription while carrier ID remains the same.
For carriers without fine-grained specific carrier ids, return #getSimCarrierId()
Specific carrier ids are defined in the same way as carrier id here except each with a "parent" id linking to its top-level carrier id.
