One possible problem with using numberingplan is that it requires using the full ICCID relating to the subscriber/SIM user. Under Data Protection laws in the UK and EU directives information processed directly or indirectly that can identify a data subject needs to be considered; the examiner is not the data subject.
And last time I checked, numbering plans seems to use the MNC in the place of the Issuer ID. Put in an Orange ICCID and it (certainly used to) tell you it was Railtrack.
Works correctly for me.
trewmte If you mean that you are not allowed to fill in an ICCID in the online form, just use the first 8 digits and make up the rest.

kevinj I did what you suggested the first time around. I used the ICCID from a test SIM card but changed only the last three digits and it informed me that the made up number had never been issued. Despite the combination of numbers I tried it continued to inform no such number had been issued unless I put in the correct number. It was an O2 test SIM Card I used.
For the record I am using the site tools for 'SIM numbers' as the site calls it.

AlexC did you get a screen dump of that you could post? Would make good reference material to errors that can be found.
Here's the Orange example I mentioned, it'll probably claim Vodafone is O2 as well (and I dread to think what it'll do to Canadian SIMs)
This is only with ICCIDs, it deals with IMSIs fine. )
Hmm the site has always worked for the dutch ICCID's I tried. Must be some errors in the UK part of the database then…
As you can see, the site incorrectly decodes the Issuer ID as an MNC - often these two numbers match up (as they apparently do for the dutch providers) but as Trew mentioned earlier in this thread - they are not the same thing.
