[maemo-developers] Trying to switch GSM provider by API

[From: Filip-M. Brinkmann]

Hi Faheem,

thanks for the awesome answer. Due to several reasons, I got into coding
not until this week. Your code led to much insight on my side ;)
However, It seems that the get_operator_name method on
com.nokia.phone.net does not exist (anymore).

I verified by issuing

dbus-send --system --print-reply --type=method_call
--dest=com.nokia.phone.net /com/nokia/phone/net
Phone.Net.get_operator_name

Seems like my problem got a lot more difficult now.
You have any idea what happened? Maybe the Nokia DBus API changed in
PR1.3?

Best,

Filip
