Postedby: Caterpillar on: July 20, 2011 In: Uncategorized Leave a Comment Cause No. 1 “unassigned (unallocated) number” (UMTS specific cause values for call control) This cause indicates that the destination requested by the mobile station cannot be reached because, although the number is in a valid format, it is not currently assigned (allocated). Cause value = 2 IMSI unknown in HLR (Causes related to MS identification) This cause is sent to the MS if the MS is not known (registered) in the HLR. This cause code does not affect operation of the GPRS service, although is may be used by a GMM procedure. Cause value = 3 Illegal MS (Causes related to MS identification) This cause is sent to the MS when the network refuses service to the MS either because an identity of the MS is not acceptable to the network or because the MS does not pass the authentication check, i.e. the SRES received from the MS is different from that generated by the network. When used by an MM procedure, except the authentication procedure, this cause does not affect operation of the GPRS service. Cause No. 3 “no route to destination” (UMTS specific cause values for call control)This cause indicates that the called user cannot be reached because the network through which the call has been routed does not serve the destination desired. Cause value = 4 IMSI unknown in VLR (Causes related to MS identification) This cause is sent to the MS when the given IMSI is not known at the VLR. Cause value = 5 IMEI not accepted (Causes related to MS identification) This cause is sent to the MS if the network does not accept emergency call establishment using an IMEI. Cause value = 6 Illegal ME (Causes related to MS identification) This cause is sent to the MS if the ME used is not acceptable to the network, e.g. blacklisted. When used by an MM procedure, this cause does not affect operation of the GPRS service.

Cause value = 7 GPRS services not allowed (Additional cause codes for GMM) This cause is sent to the MS if it requests an IMSI attach for GPRS services, but is not allowed to operate GPRS services. Cause value = 8 GPRS services and non-GPRS services not allowed (Additional cause codes for GMM) This cause is sent to the MS if it requests a combined IMSI attach for GPRS and non-GPRS services, but is not allowed to operate either of them. Cause No. 8 “operator determined barring” (GPRS specific cause values for session management) This cause indicates that the MS has tried to access a service that the MS’s network operator or service provider is not prepared to allow.

Cause value = 12 Location Area not allowed (Cause related to subscription options)This cause is sent to the MS if it requests location updating in a location area where the MS. but when it should find another allowed location area in the same PLMN.g. by subscription.102). Cause value = 13 Roaming not allowed in this location area (Cause related to subscription options) This cause is sent to an MS which requests location updating in a location area of a PLMN which offers roaming to that MS in that Location Area.
