Hi Redouane,

27.007 section 10.1.1 says

Defined values
<cid>: a numeric parameter which specifies a particular PDP context =

definition. The parameter is local to the TE-
MT interface and is used in other PDP context-related commands. The =

range of permitted values (minimum
value =3D 1) is returned by the test form of the command.
NOTE 1: The <cid>s for network-initiated PDP contexts will have values =

outside the ranges indicated for the
<cid> in the test form of the commands +CGDCONT and +CGDSCONT.

According to this, the cid of user initiated context and network =

initiated context doesn't overlap.

Also

+CGEV: ME PDN ACT <cid>[,<reason>[,<cid_other>]]
The mobile termination has activated a context. The context represents a =

PDN connection in LTE or a Primary
PDP context in GSM/UMTS. The <cid> for this context is provided to the =

TE. This event is sent either in result
of explicit context activation request (+CGACT), or in result of =

implicit context activation request associated to
attach request (+CGATT=3D1). The format of the parameters <cid>, =

<cid_other> are found in command
+CGDCONT.

We should also be able to get the cid of the default context, from CGEV =

indications.

Please correct me if i miss some information.
