## Embedded SIM Testing

For those who use Monogoto's MFF2 embedded SIMs we have created an the following tutorial, explaining how to test that the embedded SIM is working.

Below you can download a file with instructions on how to test embedded SIMs.

## What is ICCID and where to find it?

ICCID stands for Integrated Circuit Card ID. This is a globally unique identification number for the SIM itself. ICCID number consists of 19 or 20 digits and is printed on the back of the embedded SIM. You can read more about this in our published article [<mark style="color:blue;">following this link</mark>](https://monogoto.io/2022/07/18/what-is-an-iccid-number-the-complete-iot-sim-card-dictionary/).

### Checking physical embedded SIM

ICCID on Embedded Monogoto SIM can be found on the embedded SIM chip itself.

### Using AT commands

If your device supports the use of AT commands, then you can also check the ICCID by using an AT command.

| Device Manufacturer  | AT Command |
| -------------------- | ---------- |
| U-blox               | AT+CCID    |
| SIMCom               | AT+CCID    |
| Nordic Semiconductor | AT%XICCID  |
| Telit                | AT#CCID    |
| Quectel              | AT+QCCID   |
| Cinterion            | AT+CCID    |
| Murata               | AT%CCID    |

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that these mentioned AT Commands may differ based on the used device model, even when using the same device manufacturer, so it is always a good idea to check the device manual to see what exact command you should use.
