Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Special Mobile Group
(SMG) of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This ETS defines the functional characteristics of the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) of Mobile Stations
(MS) within the digital cellular telecommunications system.
The contents of this ETS may be subject to continuing work within SMG and may change following formal
SMG approval. Should SMG modify the contents of this ETS, it will be resubmitted for formal approval
procedure by ETSI with an identifying change of release date and an increase in version number as
follows:
Version 5.x.y
where:
5 GSM Phase 2+ Release 1996
x the second digit is incremented for all changes of substance, i.e. technical enhancements,
corrections, updates, etc.
y the third digit is incremented when editorial only changes have been incorporated in the
specification
The specification from which this ETS has been derived was originally based on CEPT documentation,
hence the presentation of this ETS may not be entirely in accordance with the ETSI/PNE Rules.
Transposition dates
Date of adoption of this ETS: 9 April 1999
Date of latest announcement of this ETS (doa): 31 July 1999
Date of latest publication of new National Standard
or endorsement of this ETS (dop/e): 31 January 2000
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 31 January 2000

1 Scope
The present document defines the functional characteristics and requirements of the Subscriber Identity
Module (SIM) for use in GSM 900, GSM 1800 and PCS 1900 applications. All references to GSM shall
apply equally to GSM 900, GSM 1800 and PCS 1900 unless otherwise stated.
The SIM is the entity that contains the identity of the subscriber. When placed in a Mobile Equipment
(ME), together they become a Mobile Station (MS) which may then register onto a GSM network.
The primary function of the SIM in conjunction with a GSM network is to authenticate the validity of an MS
when accessing the network. In addition it provides a means to authenticate the user and may also store
other subscriber-related information or applications. Subscription entitlements are stored not in the SIM,
but in the network.
If the SIM functionality is incorporated into a multi-application card, the GSM application may be used in
other telecommunication applications.
In addition, SIMs are permitted to contain non-GSM functionality. In the case of multi-application cards,
this ETS defines just the GSM application.
