How to find out the icc number of the sim card

In this tutorial we will learn to know the ICC number of the SIM card, something that can be very useful when processing a portability of our phone number to another company.

What is the ICC number of the SIM card

The ICC (International Circuit Card ID or International Circuit Card Identifier) ​​is the number associated with the SIM card and that identifies it as unique. It is mainly used when doing a portability to another company. All ICC codes have 19 digits, they are formed by adding 89 to the 17 digits of your SIM card.

The ICC number is printed on our SIM card, so in theory it is very easy to know if we need it. The problem comes when our SIM has worn out and the numbers are not legible or, the most common case, if we cut our standard SIM to a microSIM or nanoSIM size. In this case, the ICC number will remain in the remaining fragment of the SIM card, the one that we may have lost when we need to process a portability. The ICC is also in the documentation that comes with the SIM card, although it is unlikely that you will still keep it.
