Device management > Carrier > Usage view

The Device management > Carrier > Usage view displays cellular carriers, services, and plans for cellular-enabled devices in your inventory. For each device that is cellular-enabled, Remote Manager displays the following details.

Columns

Column Description
ICCID/MEID/ESN

Displays the device or SIM ICCID or MEID/ESN number associated with the rate plan.

  • ICCID: Unique identifier for a SIM. Typically the ICCID is printed on the SIM card. This number is similar to a serial number and cannot be changed.
  • MEID/ESN: Uniquely identifies a CDMA device. This number corresponds to the device rather than a SIM card. The use of ESN is being phased out in favor of MEID.

The usage list includes an entry for each rate plan corresponding to an ICCID/MEID/ESN number.

IMSI

Displays the IMSI code, a number that uniquely identifies the SIM on the carrier network. The codes include:

  • MCC: Mobile Country Code (for example, 310 for USA)
  • MNC: Mobile Network Code (for example, 410 for AT&T)
  • MSIN: Moble Sequential serial Identification Number
