You can get them via dbus. First you get the operator code and country code,
then you get the proper string. In shell script:

#!/bin/sh
opcountry=$(dbus-send --system --print-reply=literal --dest=
com.nokia.phone.net /com/nokia/phone/net \
Phone.Net.get_registration_status | tr '\n' ' ' | awk '{print $8,$10}')
opcode=$(echo $opcountry | cut -f1 -d' ')
countrycode=$(echo $opcountry | cut -f2 -d' ')
dbus-send --system --print-reply
--dest=com.nokia.phone.net/com/nokia/phone/net \
Phone.Net.get_operator_name byte:0 uint32:$opcode uint32:$countrycode | grep
string \
| awk '{print $2}' | tr -d \"
