Can we determine the carrier/operator for an Android device whos sim has been removed?
<p>For a GSM Android device, whose sim card has been removed, is there any way to detect which carrier the device was previously running on, or perhaps sold by?  I am most concerned with detecting phones who have the same Build.Device and are sold by multiple different carrier/operators.</p>

<p>Most method's of carrier/operator detection seem to depend on it currently being connected to the network, or a SIM being present.</p>
