A new ICCID!

An ICCID (Integrated Circuit Card Identifier) is a unique identifier assigned to a SIM card or an embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC). It's used to identify the SIM card and its associated services, such as the mobile network operator, plan, and features.

Here's what you need to know about a new ICCID:

What is a new ICCID used for?

A new ICCID is typically used when:

1. Activating a new SIM card: When you purchase a new SIM card, the ICCID is generated and assigned to the card.
2. Porting a number: When you port your phone number to a new carrier, a new ICCID is generated and assigned to the new SIM card.
3. Upgrading or replacing a SIM card: If you upgrade or replace your SIM card, a new ICCID may be generated and assigned to the new card.

How is a new ICCID generated?

A new ICCID is generated using a combination of letters and numbers, following a specific format. The format is:

89,XXXX,XXXX,XXXX,XXXX,XXXX

Where:

• 89 is the MNC (Mobile Network Code) of the carrier
• XXXX are the unique digits assigned to the SIM card
