SIM phone number

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.gsm (More info?)

Hi Mark,

The Phone number MSIDSN isn´t in the phone or SIM. The SIM have two numbers
IMSI & Ki that authentificate the SIM (with A3/A8) in the operator network.
The operator search the number by IMSI.

You can´t know the number by AT commands....

Regards,
Sir Graham.

Hi

Some providers store the number of the SIM into the ON(own numbers)
phonebook before shipping out.
You could have a look using AT+CPBS="ON" and then AT+CPBR=1,x

Correct, the phone number is NOT on the SIM card, so there's no way you can
retrieve it.
The IMSI number is what is on the card, and the network "assigns" that to
the phone number they give you.

That's why you can get them to do such as I did recently when my PAYG phone
was nicked.
I bought a new PAYG SIM with a new number, put it in another phone, then
asked the network to assign my old phone number to the new SIM. Thus, new
SIM but with my old number.

Hi,

Think about your problem I see other possibility:

The SIM keeps the phone number in a few cases: There is a special file in
the SIM (MSIDSN). This is not true in all cases.
You can also send AT APDU commands by AT+CSIM.

Sir Graham.
