We've developed a phone anti-theft solution (called WaveSecure) which among other things uses the IMSI of the current SIM in the phone to detect if a "safe" SIM is being used or not.
Recently we had a bug reported where the IMSI of two users being returns by Telephony Manager's getSubscriberId() was exactly the same! The telco they are using is Bouygues Telecom from France. And both of them had 208209 as the IMSI. Normally, an IMSI should be 15 digits (MCC + MNC + MSIN). Now, by definition and by GSM specs, IMSI of each SIM is supposed to be unique globally. Has any one else faced such a problem? And can some developer from France check on this network if they get the same IMSI returned? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
