Carrier specific run condition

Open joleeee opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

I have a mobile plan where i can use ~unlimited data on my providers own network (at reduced bandwidth). My feature request is an option to allow running on mobile-/cellular data only when on a specific network. In my case ice+ is the unlimited network and anything else is not. A simple string match is enough for my case though i suppose some carriers could have regional names or multiple networks in which case a regex might be required?

Why would the network change?

I think you can't check the name of the current carrier on Android, only the name of the carrier that issued the sim.

Why would the network change?

Because the provider only has so much coverage. Outside their network they lease from others.

I think you can't check the name of the current carrier on Android, only the name of the carrier that issued the sim.

I'm no android developer but my carrier has an app that shows if you are within coverage. It also works as a widget. I just check the top right of the status menu.

I guess the feature makes some sense, hence leaving this open.

However the application is in maintenance mode, so don't expect this to happen, as nobody is actively working on features.
