Is there a way to show the current cell tower you are connected to? I miss that in the cell tower id list, so I wanted to find an action to do this - but I'm unsuccessful.

Hi,

When you want to configure the trigger or condition Phone Cell GSM, you can use button Start to start collecting cells. It should immediately fill in the currently connected cell. Button [...] of the cell list should show a list of the scanned cells.

If you would like to get the cell in a flow, you could use a condition Phone Cell GSM in a flow and let the cell ID list empty. The condition will always evaluate to false but it also fills in the current cell ID in variable cid (check the help page for other variables):
-condition Phone Cell GSM: Connected to CIDs
--> false: -action Notification on Screen: {cid}

Please note that many phones don't update the currently connected cell ID when the display is turned off.
You can also experiment with the method-option in the condition. Some devices work better with method Classic, some better with Modern.

Awesome, thanks a lot!
