What is the difference between ICCID, IMSI and IMEI numbers?

IMSI = International Mobile Subscriber Identity. This is a unique identifier that defines a
subscriber in the wireless world, including the country and mobile network to which the
subscriber belongs. It has the format MCC-MNC-MSIN.
MCC = Mobile Country Code (e.g. 310 for USA);
MNC = Mobile Network Code (e.g. 410 for AT&T),
MSIN = sequential serial number.
All signaling and messaging in GSM and UMTS networks uses the IMSI as the primary identifier
of a subscriber. The IMSI is one of the pieces of information stored on a SIM card.
ICCID = Integrated Circuit Card ID. This is the identifier of the actual SIM card itself - i.e. an
identifier for the SIM chip. It is possible to change the information contained on a SIM (including
the IMSI), but the identity of the SIM itself remains the same.
IMEI is short for International Mobile Equipment Identity and is a unique number given to every
single mobile phone, typically found behind the battery.
IMEI numbers of cellular phones connected to a GSM network are stored in a database (EIR Equipment Identity Register) containing all valid mobile phone equipment. When a phone is
reported stolen or is not type approved, the number is marked invalid.
MSISDN = Mobile Station ISDN number. This is the full phone number of a subscriber, including
the national country code (e.g. 1 for US, 44 for UK, etc.). The purpose of the MSISDN is simply
to allow a device to be called. A subscriber can have multiple MSISDNs (e.g. one phone number
for business, one for personal calls, one for fax, etc.), but generally only one IMSI. The MSISDN
does not need to be stored on the SIM card. In cases where it is stored on the SIM, the main
reason is so that the user can use check to see what their own MSISDN is (in case they forget).
The MSISDN is never signaled to or from the device.
IMEI is your Phone's unique identity number while ICCID is your SIM Card's unique identity
number. These two are inscribed in the equipment itself and are not changeable.
IMSI is the network assigned number for your SIM Card. This is changeable, i.e., when you
change network or plans or offered a new SIM as replacement. But an ICCID cannot have more
than 1 IMSI. If you wish to change IMSI, ICCID will be changed by default.
A full ICCID is 19 or 20 characters. The format of the ICCID is:
MMCC IINN NNNN NNNN NN C x
MM = Constant (ISO 7812 Major
CC = Country Code (i.e. 61)
II = Issuer Identifier (AAPT)
N {12} = Account ID (SIM number)
C = Checksum calculated from

x = An extra 20th digit
