Description

What problem does this feature solve or what does it enhance?

I think it would be very useful to show current cell ID info in WebUI - actually MCC, MCN, LAC and Cell ID and link that info to OpenCellID database/map.

In case of warning, it would be useful to show neighbouring cells and last known good cell.

Also, info section should have additional info:

  • IMSI
  • TMSI
  • IMEI
  • which encryption algorithm is active
  • and so on... (things that are usually not visible to ordinary user)

P. S. I asked my mobile operator for IMSI number of my SIM card a couple of years ago - and they said they can not reveal it, because it is "secret". :)

Proposed Solution

Show these data in WebUI.

Alternatives Considered

No response

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing WebUI codebase (likely in `webui/` or frontend directory) to understand how data is fetched and displayed. Identify where cell ID, IMSI, and other GSM info are available in the Rust backend. Then implement new API endpoints to expose these data and update the WebUI to show them, including neighboring cells if possible.
