Phones automatically connect to any unencrypted BTS? This is really insane. I thought service providers provision the sim card with white listed and authenticated providers or only tunnel their traffic securely through foreign networks. This is way to easy. Are there apps to detect such things?

EDIT: found 2 apps claiming to be able to detect this.
