I doubt that you can change the IMSI of a sim card even with a very advanced
card reader.
In that case it must be a VERY unusual sim card (developer card).

The IMSI on a card can not be changed by any software for security reasons.
As the IMSI is used for charging purposes, imagine what could happen if
someone could change IMSI by software!

What you should be able to do, is to import the IMSI range into your new
HLR. But don't ask me how, ask your HLR manufacturer...

Subject: How change IMSI via OTA

Hi all

Maybe my question was incomplete

The IMSI structure has 15 digits: 

- the first 3 digits as country id
- the 4th and 5th digit operator id
- the 6th and 7th the home HLR of the terminal
- the last 8 digits in conjunction whit the 6th and 7th digits are the MSIN

We need to change the 6th and 7th because we have a second HLR on our
network, we can make the changes on the SIM whit SIMs card readers, but we
have a huge quantity of terminals on the market

Thanks 

cidar
