WARNING: This interface is experimental and is likely to cause havoc to your API/ABI if bindings are generated. Do not include this interface in libraries that care about compatibility.
Added in 0.19.6. (draft version, not API-stable)

Description

This interface is for various cellular things (GSM and/or CDMA) that aren't really applicable to other protocols.

IMSIChanged (s: IMSI)

Parameters

  • IMSI — s
    • The new IMSI value. This may be an empty string in the case where the IMSI is being reset or removed.
Emitted when the IMSI for the connection changes. This sort of thing is rare, but could happen on cellular phones that allow hot-swapping of SIM cards. In the case of SIM swapping, this signal would be emitted twice; the first time while the SIM is being ejected (with an empty string), and the second time after a new SIM has been inserted (assuming that the IMSI can be determined from the new SIM).

Properties

Accessed using the org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties interface.

MessageValidityPeriod — u

Read/Write

Define how long should the service centre try message delivery before giving up, failing delivery and deleting the message. A value of 0 means to use the service centre's default period.

The value specified is in seconds. Note that various protocols or implementations may round the value up (eg. to a minute or hour precision). The maximum validity period may vary depending on protocol or provider.

Connections with this interface SHOULD provide this property as a parameter for ConnectionManager.RequestConnection, with the DBus_Property flag.

For connections managed by the AccountManager, this property SHOULD be set via the Account Manager, by calling Account.UpdateParameters; the AccountManager provides change-notification, as long as all other clients cooperate by using it instead of setting this property directly.

MessageServiceCentre — s

Read/Write

Address for the messaging service centre. Typically (as is the case for GSM's SMSC), it's the ISDN / telephony address (ie. a phone number).

Connections with this interface SHOULD provide this property as a parameter for ConnectionManager.RequestConnection, with the DBus_Property flag.

For connections managed by the AccountManager, this property SHOULD be set via the Account Manager, by calling Account.UpdateParameters; the AccountManager provides change-notification, as long as all other clients cooperate by using it instead of setting this property directly.

IMSI — s

Read only

The International Mobile Subscriber Identifier, if it exists. This would originate from a SIM card. If the IMSI is unknown, this will contain an empty string ("").
