1. Scope
During network selection, GSM mobile equipment will display information regarding the network or networks available and the country in which the network or networks are operating. This document details the combination and structure of the country initials and network names that are to be displayed. It also includes other Home Network specific codes such as the SIM Header and the colour code.
Any mobile equipment manufacturer unable to accommodate a specific network operator’s country initials and name should contact that network operator in the first instance.
2. Information listed
The attached table 1 contains the presentation of:
- Country Initials - MoU Operator - Mobile Network Name: Name of the Mobile Network as chosen by the MoU Operator - Presentation of Country Initials and Mobile Network Names used for network selection - Abbreviated Mobile Network Name for each MoU Operator (max. 6 characters, including hyphen,
space, slash etc.) - Type of Network (GSM900/DCS1800/PCS1900, Dualband) - Mobile Country Code: Code according to ITU T E.212 - Mobile Network Code as allocated by the National Administration - Network Colour Code as agreed with the National Administration - SIM Header as registered with ITU via the National Administration
Any guidance for use of these names and codes is given in Annex B
3. PLMN differentiation
In the case of overlapping PLMNs, and where an MS can receive two cells using the same Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) frequency, a mechanism is required to allow the MS to differentiate between these PLMNs. In order to provide this means for differentiation, the BCCH shall broadcast a Network Colour Code (NCC). The NCC is allocated according to rules laid down in Annex B. The allocated NCC is given in table 1.
For roaming purposes mobile stations identify PLMNs by the combination of country code mobile network code (MNC). For the avoidance of doubt, different mobile network codes require different network names (ie the Presentation of Country Initials and Mobile Network Names used for network selection). If operators are not able to abide by this rule then users will experience difficulties with choosing a network on which to register based on the network name. Also the preferred PLMN list on the SIM cannot be used in a sensible manner.
4. SIM Header
A SIM Serial Number shall be printed on the SIM. The Serial Number is allocated and printed according to rules given in SE.14. The SIM Header is part of the SIM Serial Number.

Annex B: Guidance on the use of codes and names
Please note that all information submitted to GSM MoU Association are just registered as they are offered. GSM MoU Association will not assume any responsibility for the correctness of this information. It is the firm responsibility of the submitting member organisation to comply to rules and procedures as laid down thereunder.
This document is communicated frequently to members of ETSI SMG and GSM MoU Association. However, it cannot be guaranteed that manufacturers make always use of the most up-to-date issue of the document.
B.1 Country Initials
Please use the international recognised country initials for unambiguous identification of your country in this table.
B.2 MoU Operators
Please use your company name as registered with the GSM MoU Association.
B.3 Mobile Network Name
This is the name of your network.
B.4 Presentation of Country Initials and Mobile Network Names used for network selection
This is the complete network name as it shall appear at mobile station (MS) display during network selection. Your are advised to use a short name as display space at MS is limited. This name may or may not be the same name as the official Mobile Network Name. Capital characters should be indicated as such.
B.5 Abbreviated Mobile Network Name
This is the abbreviated Mobile Network Name. Often MS display this name when they are registered to a network as support of other menu functions needs also space at the MS display. You are advised to keep the maximum length to 6 characters (including hyphen, space, slash etc.) otherwise mobile manufacturers may create their own short name. Capital characters should be indicated as such.
B.6 Type of Network
This section indicates what frequency band the network makes use of. It is assumed that operators only register one network type per data entry even they may have acquired licenses for more network types. When GSM900 and DCS1800 operations are separated for marketing purposes companies may decide to use still the same network names for display. Dualband operations can make use only of one network name for display purpose.
B.6.1 GSM900
You tick this box if you operate a GSM900-only network.
B.6.2 DCS1800
You tick this box if you operate a DCS1800-only network.

B.6.4 Dualband GSM900/DCS1800
You tick this box if you operate a Dualband GSM900/DCS1800 network.
B.7 Mobile Country Code
The Mobile Country Code (MCC) you can take out of Annex A of the ITU-T (EX-CCITT) Rec. E.212(1) „List of Mobile Country or Geographical Area Codes“. The allocation of further MCCs has to be administered by the ITU. The MCC is the part of the mobile station identification uniquely identifying the country of domicile of the mobile station (Quote from: CCITT Rec. E.212, Blue Book, Volume II, Fascicle II.2, section 3.1).
The MCC consists of 3 digits. The allocation of MCCs is to be administered by the CCITT (→ ITU) and is given in Annex A. Further MCCs may be allocated, if required. The first digits 0, 1, 8 and 9 are reserved for future use (Quote from: CCITT Rec. E.212, Blue Book, Volume II, Fascicle II.2, section 4.2.3).
B.8 Mobile Network Code
The Mobile Network Code (MNC) has to be allocated by your National Administration (see ITU-T (EX-CCITT) Rec. E.118(1) „Approving organizations for Issuer Identification Numbers (IINs)“). It is a digit or a combination of digits in the national part of the mobile station identification uniquely identifying the home PLMN of the mobile station (Quote from: CCITT Rec. E.212, Blue Book, Volume II, Fascicle II.2, section 3.2).
The national mobile station identity is to be assigned by each Administration (Quote from: CCITT Rec. E.212, Blue Book, Volume II, Fascicle II.2, section 4.2.4).
The allocation of mobile network codes should be such that not more than 6 digits of the international mobile station identity have to be analysed in a foreign PLMN for information transfer (Quote from: CCITT Rec. E.212, Blue Book, Volume II, Fascicle II.2, section 4.2.5).
Dualband operators can make use only of one MNC.
B.9 Network Colour Codes
In the case of overlapping PLMNs, and where a MS can receive two cells using the same Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) frequency, a mechanism is required to allow the MS to differentiate between these PLMNs. In order to provide this means for differentiation, the BCCH shall broadcast a Network Colour Code. The NCC is allocated according to rules laid down as described below.In general, the purpose of the colour codes used in GSM is to provide a method for the mobile station to distinguish between two different cells, in the same or different networks, using the same Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) frequency.
When a GSM mobile station is connected to the network, it must identify surrounding cells for the purpose of handovers, but there is insufficient time for it to decode all the cell and network identity information provided on the BCCH which is normally used to identify networks and cells.
Therefore this quick method of identification is provided so that the mobiles station can report back to the network only those cells to which a handover is allowed by the currently serving network.
(1) For your information, these lists will be updated by numbered series of amendments published in the ITU Operational Bulletin (appearing two-weekly). Furthermore, the informations are also available in the ITUDOC system (ITU TIES), and can be consulted by subscribers by remote access. The informations which will be kept up-to-date, will be found in the „ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector“ part of the ITU document database, under the heading „Lists annexed to Operation Bulletin“.

B.9.1 Utilisation of the BSIC
Two cell identity parameters are provided in GSM; the Base Station Colour code (BCC) and the Network Colour Code (NCC). The two combined make up the Base Station Identity Code (BSIC), which is broadcast on the Synchronisation Channel (SCH). The Base Station Identity Code (BSIC) is used by the mobile station for several purposes, all aiming of avoiding ambiguity or interference which can arise when a mobile station in a given position can receive two cells using the same Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) frequency.
B.9.1.1 Base station Colour code (BSC)
The BCC is used to indicate which of 8 possible training sequences is to be used in the down link (from network to mobile). Different training sequences allow for a better transmission in case of interference.
In the uplink (from mobile to network) the BSIC is used to scramble the bursts sent by the mobile stations on the access bursts. This is done to avoid a cell decoding correctly access bursts sent to another cell.
B.9.1.2 Network Colour Code (NCC)
When the mobile station is connected to the network (e.g. during a call), it measures the level received on the BCCH of neighbouring cells. Based on these measurements, the mobile station reports to the network a list of cells to which handovers may be considered.
However, it is possible that a mobile station is able to receive more than one cell using the same frequency, possibly from different networks.
So, to avoid the mobile station reporting back on cells to which handover is not feasible, the currently serving network identifies its network ’colour’. A mobile station reporting back needs only re-tune to the appropriate BCCH and check the NCC to identify that this is a cell it should report back on.
NOTE: The currently serving network can identify more than one network ’colour’. This is allowed as long as the colour used at border regions is the one chosen for that network.
It should be noted that when in idle mode (i.e. when not in a call), the mobile station has more time to identify a cell for cell selection purposes. In this case it uses the cell identity broadcast on the BCCH and not by the BSIC.
B9.2 Guidance for planning
Since the BSC and NCC are used to avoid a mobile station from incorrectly selecting an erroneous cell, it is important that appropriate planning is adopted in the network. Where the mobile stations can receive two cells that use the same BCCH frequency, these two cells should have different BSICs.
B.9.2.1 Allocation of BCC
Within the same network the identification can be done on the basis of the Base Station Colour code (BCC). The allocation of this code is purely a network operator choice.
B.9.2.2 Allocation of NCC
Where more than one network overlap, then the unique network identification is achieved using the Network Colour Code (NCC).
Therefore, overlapping PLMNs using common part of spectrum must use different NCCs in the overlapping area; e.g. in border regions.
It should be noted the NCC is not allocated by a central body and PLMN operators must agree on which NCCs are to be used.
GSM MoU SE.13 page 20 v.3.15.0
07/02/2001 21:07 Change bars indicate changes since MoU #37 in Fiji
B.9.3 Example of PLMN Colour Codes (NCCs)
Since no central body allocates the NCCs, and it is up to the PLMN operators which have overlapping coverage to agree on the NCC to be used, the following guidance is given.
The NCC can take the decimal value of numbers 0 to 7. In the scheme two networks per country and a maximum of four countries sharing a common border are allowed for. This is done by allocating a value n in the range of 0-7 to the first network and n+4 to the second network. An example of the use of the codes is given in the figure below.
It should be noted that generally network operators are not allocated overlapping frequencies in the same country and so more than two NCCs per country is not required. However, it is still allowed as long as only the values n and n+4 are used in border regions.
In countries which have more that two operators, the choice of code for the third operator (in border regions) should not be the same as the code used for an operator in any bordering country (as given in this document, subject to agreement among the operators affected).
As soon as the new operator has chosen, then it is imperative that this document be updated as soon as possible.

B.10 SIM Header
B.10.1 SIM Header
A SIM Serial Number shall be printed on the SIM. The Serial Number is allocated and printed according to rules given in SE.14. The SIM Header is part of the SIM Serial Number (Quote from: GSM MoU SE.13, section 4.).
B.10.2 Serial Number
The same serial number shall be printed on the SIM as stored electrically in it (Quote from: GSM MoU SE.14, section 2.).
B.10.3 Allocation of the Serial Number
The serial number shall be standardised in accordance with CCITT (→ ITU-T) Rec. E.118. This specifies a maximum of 19 digits, the first of which comprise a header:
− 89,
− followed by the CCITT Rec. E.163 country code (→ ITU-T Rec. E.164(1) „List of assigned country codes“),
− followed by the Issuer Identifier Number.
The remaining digits are the individual serial number, ending in a check digit. Generally, the Issuer Identifier Number is allocated by the national administration in an operators country. The header selected should then be registered with the ITU using the procedure indicated in E.118 (Quote from: GSM MoU SE.14, section 2.1)
B.10.4 Numbering System
The numbering of the card to be issued by Administrations shall be as follows based on ISO/7812 (Identification card-numbering system and registration procedure for issuer identifiers). The maximum length of the visible card number (primary account number) should be 19 characters and is composed of the following sub-parts:
− major industry identifier (MII),
− country code,
− issuer identifier number,
− individual account identification number,
− check digit. In addition to the check digit, Administrations may incorporate another validation check device in some location on the card which could be changed when new cards are issued.
Note − Major industry and issuer identifier numbers of the form 66xxxx have already been assigned to some Administrations as a transitional measure. Credit cards of this type are also fully compatible with ISO standards (Quote from: CCITT Rec. E.118, Blue Book, Volume II, Fascicle II.2, section 3.2).
B.10.5 Issuer Identifier Number assignment and registration procedure
a) The assignment of specific issuer identifier numbers should be the responsibility of a country or group of countries as appropriate.
b) These issuer identifier numbers are normally used to distinguish among multiple issuers within a country. However, these numbers may also be used to distinguish individual countries sharing the

same country code (as defined in CCITT Rec. E.163 (→ ITU-T Rec. E.164)) or, if appropriate, to distinguish both countries and issuers.
c) A central registration authority should be established within ITU for the registration and/or cancellation of issuer identifier numbers for telecommunication Administrations. An illustrative registration form is contained in Figure 2/E.118 (→ this registration form is substituted by a newer version).
d) The ITU should inform its members and co-ordinate registration information with the ISO as appropriate.
(Quote from: CCITT Rec. E.118, Blue Book, Volume II, Fascicle II.2, section 3.3).
B.10.6 Application form
You are advised to comply strictly to the rules laid down for application of an Issuer Identifier Number (IIN) for use as SIM Header otherwise you network operation could experience financial and operational damage including withdrawal of issued SIM’s.
