A SIM is required to access the existing local GSM network, or remote networks
when traveling (if a roaming agreement has been made with the provider).
The SIM contains:
• All the data necessary to access GSM services
• The ability to store user information such as phone numbers
• All information required by the network provider to provide access to the
network
Each Motorola GSM phone is labeled with a variety of identifying numbers. The
following information describes the current identifying labels.
Mechanical Serial Number (MSN)
The MSN is an individual unit identity number and remains with the unit through-
out its life.
The MSN can be used to log and track a phone on Motorola's Service Center
Database.
The MSN is divided into 4 sections as shown in Figure 15.

International Mobile Station Equipment Identity (IMEI)
The International Mobile station Equipment Identity (IMEI) number is an
individual number unique to the PCB and is stored within the unit's memory.
The IMEI uniquely identifies an individual mobile station and thereby provides a
means for controlling access to GSM networks based on mobile station types or
individual units. The full IMEI structure is listed in Table 2.
