Dear Sir,
im using sony Z3 Dual D6633 , i set the network to manual selection, during that time the screen showed the name of (provider) network i selected or " emergency service only" is it possible that the phone it self change to another network without my knowledge .

Many thanks

Hi Moathmalek85,

It wold not surprise me that your phone have been deliberatly forced to log in into jewish network

The only way to find out next time is to use application that will log the BTS (The Base Transceiver Station aka phone mast) your phone has been talking to e.g.:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gyokovsolutions.gnettrack&hl=en

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.mroczis.netmonster

Ther are couple of apps that look for IMSI catchers as well

www.theregister.co.uk/2013/12/31/nsa_weapons_catalogue_promises_pwnage_at_the_speed_of_light

but root is required:

Just out of interest, what have you been charged for? Data/Voice/SMS?

Is there a huge difference in roaming charges between those two networks?

I would as well ask Zain Jordan what network was it taht you have roamed in and then check their coverage as well.

Next time get local throwaway SIM card in roaming to aviod extra charges (with the D6633 you can have on 2 at the same time)

Zain jordan told me that I was connect to a network called israel01 I'm sure I didn't see that name on my screen and Im almost sure that there is no provider in Israel with that name. In my mobile screen I only got jawwal ps and emergency call only

Ask for MCC/MNC code of the network in question:

Strange, but the Jawwal Uses the MCC of Israel !!!! Their friendly neighbour got near full control of everything there......

Get details information from you operator, dates, times and what it was for.

I know this is not going to help you, but this is interesting article that may give you inside of what may be going on:

Are they all incomming calls you have been charged for?

See if you can get hold of the CEO of the Zain Jordan or Zain Group directly http://www.zain.com and explain to him what has happend, what you have done, who you spoke to about it, where you have been, how long etc.

Check on the internet what is their e-mail address format "name.surename@zain.com" or other then find name of the CEO and drop him/her e-mail.

For you as an idividual it will be hard or imposible to prove that it was not error on your part, especially with neighbbour like this:

Sad to say but there is nothing that anyone overe here be able to help you with.

Yes it's on the incoming call
