With "more complete", I meant these additional settings, not more carriers, but more per carrier :-)
Perhaps we can extract it from a Symbian phone...

Please read my message again, because I think you misunderstood it.

The observation is that MCC + MNC is insufficient to identify the carrier's WAP settings, so the strategy of adding more settings per carrier in /etc/operator_settings will not work.

It will work for some, but not others, and even when it works for some people, it fails for others with the same MCC + MNC pair.

Also reread my message to see that Symbian doesn't have a full list of operator settings. Instead they are sent to the phone by a special kind of text message when the network sees your handset with that SIM, although unfortunately that doesn't always work as intended either.
