Sorry, Pix!
All that I had said in previous post is applied only in connected mode.
In idle mode a mobile identifies a cell (for cell selection/reselection purposes) according to the ARFCH, as well as CGI (because only cells belonging selected PLMN can take part in reselection process and MS needed to know MCC/MNC before reselection).
