Introduction

Personalization of Mobile Equipment (ME) is based on the current personalization feature and mechanisms defined in ETSI TS 122 022. A new category called SOC Personalization category is added to the existing five categories in ETSI TS 122 022. Table 1 below describes the personalization categories and the information each category requires. SOC Personalization allows the ME to be locked to an TIA/EIA-136 system code (SOC and MCC) or multiple TIA/EIA-136 system codes. The SOC personalization category may be utilized with other GSM personalization categories such that an ME is locked to multiple personalization categories (e.g. SOC level and Network).

Note 1: MCC is only necessary when the Home SOC is in the National SOC range - see TIA/EIA-136-123 and TIA/EIA-136-005.
