We want to verify that the modem can find mobile networks without actually connecting. Actually connecting to the network has a price tag. The context here is a quality assurance script that we run on all hardware to verify that it functions properly.
The documentation for the COPS command is not entirely clear on whether it really connects, but seems to suggest that it does:
Does the COPS command already do what we want? or maybe there is some different AT command or a read-only configuration option for the modem?
