   Find “ICCID" in the table. The SIM number is to the right of it.

   • Knowing your ICCID allows you to check the SIM card's compatibility to another device you want to switch to. If it isn't compatible, you will have to get a new SIM card.
   • Your ICCID can also be used to track your phone, unless the SIM card is removed.

  Go to the icon that has a green background and white phone, then go to Contacts on the bottom of the screen. Your phone number should be right below your name at the top of the screen.

• Question

  Can we get this ICCID number on featured phones?

  

  Community Answer

  It's already on your phone. Your iPhone's SIM number is technically called the ICCID, which stands for Integrated Circuit Card Identifier. It usually consists of 19 or 20 characters, and is both printed on your SIM card and stored inside it. The ICCID is a unique serial number and is specific to your SIM card.
