In step S300, the reading module 100 reads the network operator information stored on the SIM card of the mobile electronic device 1. For example, the reading module 100 reads the EFIMSI file of the SIM card, and the file records the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) of the SIM card, and the network operator information of the SIM card can be obtained according to the IMSI number. That is, the network operator's mobile network code MNC (Mobile network code) and mobile country code information MCC (Mobile Country Code).

In step S302, based on the network operator information stored on the read SIM card, the determining module 101 determines whether the network operator of the SIM card of the mobile electronic device 1 is consistent with the default network operator of the mobile electronic device 1, and is inconsistent. , the process proceeds to step S304, and the process returns to step S300.

In step S304, the trigger module 102 triggers the mobile electronic device 1 to request the network configuration parameter from the mobile service center MSC 2.

Step S306, when the mobile service center MSC 2 receives the request of the mobile electronic device 1 for the network configuration parameter, the search module 105 searches the data table 22 according to the network operator stored on the read mobile electronic device SIM card. Corresponding network configuration parameters, the data table 22 is established by the setup module 104 and the data table 22 contains a one-to-one correspondence between the network operator and the network configuration parameters.
