I've been wondering the same thing, as have others on the internet.

So does anyone know how to interpret the values returned?

I can see no real pattern in the return values, unfortunately.

Does it list neighboring cells belonging to any carrier, or are they
just those of the current carrier?  How do you get the MCC/MNC/LAC etc
of the cells?

Please anyone, any ideas?
