Your SIM card has a unique 20-digit identifier called the ICCID (Integrated Circuit Card Identification). This number is essential for linking your Ting service to your phone.
Where to find your SIM card number (ICCID)

- The number is also printed on the smaller portion of the SIM card itself.
- Ting SIM card numbers always start with “89”.
