Signal data

Data generated by a connection established between a mobile phone and a cell mast when the mobile phone is turned on but not in use by the owner.

SIM

Subscriber Identity Module. A unique number on a SIM-card inserted into a mobile phone. The SIM connects to the telephone number through a Home Location Register. SIM and telephone number relate to one and the same subscription to a mobile phone service. SIM cards may be switched between phones, and many SIM cards may be used on one and the same phone. By combining IMEI and SIM, the provider keeps track of the SIM cards used on a device and the devices that have been used by a SIM. It is thus possible to detect the phones used by a subscriber, and the subscribers who have used a phone.
