Hey everyone! Are you often confused by the terms “card number” and “ICCID number” when using IoT cards? Are you still wondering how to check the IoT card number or the ICCID number? Don’t worry! This article will help you understand the differences between IoT card numbers and ICCID numbers so that you won’t be confused anymore!
First, let’s talk about the IoT card number! It’s like the “nickname” of the IoT card, a number assigned by the operator or company for internal management and identification. Imagine a company purchasing a large batch of IoT cards, it’s like having a huge family, and the card number helps the company quickly distinguish what each card is “doing” and which project it belongs to. When setting up packages or checking orders, the card number can be very useful! However, it’s important to note that different operators and companies have different rules for assigning card numbers, just like different families have different styles for naming their children, so there is no uniform “appearance” for card numbers.
Next, let’s discuss the ICCID number, which is the “ID number” of the IoT card! It consists of 20 digits and is unique worldwide! From the moment the IoT card is produced, the ICCID number is engraved into its “chip” and stays with it for “life.” In the online world, the ICCID number serves as the “passport” for the IoT card, allowing the network to verify whether this card is a “legal resident.” Whether checking card information or handling loss reports and replacements, it relies on this number! Moreover, its encoding is very systematic: the first 6 digits are the operator code, the next 12 digits are the issuing area code, and the last 2 digits are the check code, making it particularly easy to remember!
So how do you check these two numbers? It’s actually quite simple! Look at the surface of the IoT card; the ICCID number is usually printed on it. You can also log into the IoT card management platform, where you can easily find both the card number and the ICCID number; if you still can’t find it, contacting the seller or the operator’s customer service can also resolve the issue!
Finally, I want to remind everyone that when applying for an IoT card, be sure to choose a company with reliable after-sales service! In case you encounter issues when checking the card number or using the ICCID number for services, or if the card malfunctions, professional and timely after-sales support can help you resolve it quickly, which is super reassuring!
