The '''mobile identification number''' ('''MIN''') or '''mobile subscription identification number''' ('''MSIN''') refers to the 10-[[Numerical digit|digit]] unique number that a [[wireless carrier]] uses to identify a [[mobile phone]], which is the last part of the [[international mobile subscriber identity]] (IMSI). The MIN is a number that uniquely identifies a mobile phone working under TIA standards for cellular and [[Personal Communications Service|PCS]] technologies (e.g. EIA/TIA–553 analog, IS–136 TDMA, IS–95 or IS-2000 CDMA). MIN usage became prevalent for mobile number portability to switch providers. It can also be called the '''MSID''' (Mobile Station ID) or '''IMSI_S''' (Short IMSI).
