The ICCID is made up of: Issuer identification number (IIN) Maximum of seven digits: Major industry identifier (MII), 2 fixed digits, 89 for telecommunication purposes. Country calling code, 1 to 3 digits, as defined by ITU-T recommendation E.164. North American Numbering Plan countries use 1; Russia uses 7
A typical SIM card (mini-SIM with micro-SIM cutout) A SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card is an integrated circuit (IC) intended to securely store an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) number and its related key, which are used to identify and authenticate subscribers on mobile telephone devices (such as mobile phones and laptops).
The use and content of the card can be protected by use of PIN codes. One code, PIN1, can be defined to control normal use of the phone. Another code, PIN2, can be set, to allow the use of special functions (like limiting outbound telephone calls to a list of numbers). PUK1 and PUK2 is used to reset PIN1 and PIN2 respectively.
The Long Form EUIMID is the ICCID that has been present in many generations of smart cards, including the SIM cards for GSM. This is composed of up to 18 BCD digits -- up to 72 bits. The storage allocated for the ICCID is, however, 80 bits, so it is recommended that the Luhn check digit be included plus a padding digit (0xf).
The international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI; / ˈ ɪ m z iː /) is a number that uniquely identifies every user of a cellular network. [1] It is stored as a 64-bit field and is sent by the mobile device to the network.
If the eSIM is eUICC-compatible, it can be re-programmed with new SIM information. Otherwise, the eSIM is programmed with its ICCID/IMSI and other information at the time it is manufactured, and cannot be changed. One common physical form factor of an eUICC chip is commonly designated MFF2. [7]
In New Zealand, the NZ Telecommunications Forum Inc [14] provides a blocked IMEI lookup service for New Zealand consumers. The service allows up to three lookups per day [15] and checks against a database that is updated daily by the three major mobile network operators. A blocked IMEI cannot be connected to any of these three operators.
It consists of three fields, including an 8-bit regional code (RR), a 24-bit manufacturer code, and a 24-bit manufacturer-assigned serial number. The check digit (CD) is not considered part of the MEID. The MEID was created to replace electronic serial numbers (ESNs), whose virgin form was exhausted in November 2008. [1]
