<div dir="ltr">We've really been wanting to get it working better for our customers, but honestly your summary is true. Carriers aren't supporting hooks to reliably to get the information. I personally haven't seen a 3GPP command in the data sheets I have to get the info either. If that changes I'd be the first to bring it back but until then it's kind of a dead field.

<br>
The SubscriptionState property was originally thought to expose the<br>
state of the subscription with the operator. It has been implemented<br>
only in the Altair LTE plugin, and the current implementation is based<br>
on two main things:<br>
* Verizon-specific logic that allows knowing the subscription state<br>
based on the PCO info.<br>
* Registration check errors, e.g. to say that the SIM is<br>
unprovisioned when the registration fails.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure any of the previous two things are very robust. The<br>
Verizon-specific parsing will only work for Verizon, and the<br>
registration check errors may be caused by multiple different root<br>
causes. To me it looks like the Altair LTE plugin is trying to do more<br>
than it's supposed to do. It would be much better if we exposed the<br>
raw PCO info received, and let upper layers process that if needed<br>
with operator-specific logic.<br>
<br>
What do you all think?<br>
Should we deprecate the SubscriptionState property?<br>
Should we expose the raw PCO info?<br>
