For detailed segment questions, load the relevant spec file from `references/` using the Read tool.

## Provider Detection via UNB S002.0004

| Provider      | Spec file                 | UNB S002.0004       | Syntax |
|---------------|---------------------------|---------------------|--------|
| Telekom       | `references/telekom.json` | starts with `D--01` | UNOA:4 |
| O2/Telefónica | `references/o2.json`      | `o2 MOBILFUNK`      | UNOC:4 |
| Vodafone      | `references/vodafone.json`| `MDVEDI`            | UNOC:1 |

**Always detect provider from UNB S002.0004 – never from the filename!**
