Mobile Station ISDN Number or MSISDN

Mobile Station ISDN Number (MSISDN)

The MSISDN is a number which uniquely identifies a mobile telephone subscription in the public switched telephone network numbering plan. According to the CCITT recommendations, the mobile telephone number or catalogue number to be dialled is composed in the following way:
MSISDN = CC + NDC + SN
CC = Country Code
NDC = National Destination Code
SN = Subscriber Number
A National Destination Code is allocated to each GSM PLMN. In some countries, more than one NDC may be required for each GSM PLMN. The international MSISDN number may be of variable length. The maximum length shall be 15 digits, prefixes not included.
Each subscription is connected to one Home Location Register (HLR).

The length of the MSISDN depends on the structure and numbering plan of each operator, as an application of CCITT recommendation E.164.
