E.118
E.118 is an international standard that defines the international telecommunication charge card, for use in payphones. It also defines the Integrated Circuit Card Identifier, which is used in Subscriber Identity Modules. The standard was first developed in 1988 by what became the Standardization Sector of the International Telecommunication Union with several revisions having been published since then.
History
The E.118 standard was first developed by the precursor to the ITU-T, International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee and it was adopted by its governing body the World Telecommunication Standardization Conference, as its 1988 meeting. Since then it has been revised several times by Study Group 1, most recently in 1996.ICCID
The Integrated Circuit Card Identifier is a number to international identify callers, called a 'Primary Account Number', used i.a. in SIM cards including eSIM cards. Its layout is based on ISO/IEC 7812. The ICCID is made up of:Issuer identification number
Maximum of seven digits:
- Major industry identifier, 2 fixed digits, 89 for telecommunication purposes.
- List of [country calling codes|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
- * Kazakhstan uses 997, even though it also uses the calling code +7
- Issuer identifier, 1–4 digits.
- * Often identical to the Mobile Network Code.
- Individual account identification number. Its length is variable, but every number under one IIN has the same length.
- * Often identical to the Mobile [Subscription Identification Number].
- Single digit calculated from the other digits using the Luhn algorithm.
