MCC=1 MNC=1 issue

Given following statements:

Cellular network login with changed MCC/MNC in IMSI to above values, that is successful (due to the implementation of the serving provider), might be considered 'illegal' (whatever this means) regarding ETSI standards, but

• does not cause billig problems, because authentication is valid and tied to the caller's identity
• does not interfere with the operability of the cellular network, because it is only an authentication issue

If you feel the need to 'express' that one of the above statements is incorrect, please do it. But - please - give profound reasons for your considerations.

Working and stable

I've been using this method for 6 days, and its stable. I can make/receive calls, send/receive SMS and connect to EDGE network. Can't confirm 3G, as its not available in my country.
