| I just got a new global sim which allows me to select which UK network to
use. While seeing which network I could get in my area I notices as well 5
usualy networks there was one called UK-86 anyone know what this actually
is? done a google search with no results. Could it be some kind of private
system for police?

The definitive list for UK MCC/MNC codes for UK mobile networks is on
the Ofcom web site is at:
http://www.ofcom.org.uk/telecoms/io...red
/#mnc
This is updated weekly where possible according to the above link and
the actual link for the codes is at:
http://www.ofcom.org.uk/telecoms/io...
/mnc.xls
(Microsoft Excel required to view).
No entry for 234-86 at the moment which seems strange if you can see
this on a network scan.

Do you live anywhere near where one of the UK networks is based? If so, this
could well be one of the test-bed networks : Orange have a self-contained
"test" network in North Bristol which can be picked up within the immediate
vicinity. Because it's a self-contained "micro network" (may well even only
be a couple of mini-indoor BTS), I understand that there's no need for a
separate licence (or that it falls under the existing one).
I would imagine all the UK networks have similar facilities at their
technical bases to allow "new" services to be trialled before they're let
loose on the live network...
Regards
Jon.
