Hey everyone! I recently noticed something odd with my Airtel SIM card on my iPhone. Instead of listing 'Airtel' as the carrier, it's displaying 'The Safe Network' both at the top of the screen and in the mobile settings. Although my calls, SMS, and mobile data all seem to function without any issues, I'm a bit confused about this change. I even attached a few screenshots showing 'The Safe Network' in the SIM settings and while scanning for networks. Is this something to be concerned about? Has anyone else experienced this recently?

This is really strange! Some people are saying it might be related to a 'stingray' technology used by law enforcement for tracking. Basically, it's a device that mimics a cell tower to intercept communications. But you’re right to be cautious—check out some info on it if you’re worried!
Could you explain more about how those stingrays actually work?
