Chapter 11 – Phone Book
Commands
In this chapter, the AT commands are used to operate on mobile phonebook. These phonebook commands adhere to the set
defined in GSM 07.07 specification. Please refer to GSM 07.07 for further AT command usage and description.
For all phonebook read commands (+CPBR, +CPBF, +CPBP), the TON/NPI MSB of each number is set to 1 (ex: a TON/NPI
stored as 17 is displayed as 145).
When accessing numbers in the call history phonebooks (“LD”, “MC”, or “RC”), if a matching number is found in one of the
other phonebooks, the text portion of the matching entry is copied to the call history entry.
The phone book “SM” is only supported in an RUIM capable modem.
When an RUIM is present, the “MT” phonebook is a combination of two phonebooks as shown in the example below. This
must be taken into account when using a phone book AT command index to access an entry in this phonebook.
