To my understanding, multiple matches of the same mcc/mnc might be because of: - Different kind of settings (internet/mms/wap). - Different plans for the same kind of setting (prepaid/postpaid). - MVNO. A few possible solutions in order to avoid the ambiguity would be: 1. One could try guess the type of settings out of the access point name. This should work with a few exceptions, which could be handled case by case. 2. Same as item 1, except when the kind of settings can't be guessed, just not to provision the context and let the user possibility to choose. 3. To introduce additional tags (internet, mms, wap, prepaid, postpaid).

Any thoughts? And yet a question regarding not provisioning the context. How should this be achieved by plugin: - Passing no settings to oFono? - Passing all found settings to oFono, but indicating that the user intervention is required?

Anyway, thanks for the comments and ideas. I will prepare another patch. Regards, Oleg
