BTW, don't bother trying this on Nokia phones.

Alphanumerical operator codes on +cops? are not supported[0] or only
partly supported[1][2]. One tester reported that when using +cops=0,2,
he received the numerical network ID:
    +COPS: 0,2,"24405"

But  when he tried with +cops=3,2 he received:
    +COPS: 0,0,"elisa"

but at+cops=? revealed:
    +COPS: (2,"Saunalahti",,"24405"),
    (3,"SONERA",,"24491"),
    (3,"dna",,"24412"),,(0,1,3),(0,2)

And this test was done on Saunalahti SIM-card.

So in this case the name received from +cops? was misleading when tested
with the mode 3 so the values from Nokia phones are not reliable. Anyway
we can detect that we are using Nokia phone and simply filter the
operator list by network-id:s alone.
