Showing off carrier-explode, one of my side projects that continuously archives carrier settings for all major phone brands.
carrier-explode also contains decoders and explanations for all the common baseband configurations, etc.
There’s still quite a bit of work to be done in checking my assumptions, but the tool has already been proven useful for a few enthusiast groups.

Not really sure what to do with the information, but I love the UI.

Are these configs read-only on the phone or is it possible to manipulate them using the data here to de/activate any service?

Depends on the OS. GrapheneOS can override a bunch of them: https://grapheneos.org/usage#carrier-settings-overrides

What do you use the info you have gathered for? It seems comprehensive but curious as to how you use it?

I saw this linked from MacRumors during the AT&T iPhone 18 Pro Max lockup news discussions. It was interesting to see what AT&T/Apple did to try to get ahead of the issue. So far it looks like they disabled 5G Standalone mode, possibly just to prevent a bug from literally destroying the hardware (possibly only on one batch of phones).
Apple/AT&T still haven't released any kind of statement addressing the issue other than to replace affected hardware.

This is super cool. Particularly for the fact that it just showed my country's operators rather than the usual America First.
