It's usually stored in a SIM card. A mobilesubscriber integrated services digital network (MSISDN)number is a cellphone's phone number. The IMSI isused internally within cellphone systems to identify aphone. Most users don't know their IMSIs, while theMSISDN can be dialed to reach the phone.
IMSI is used to identify a subscriber by theoperator. But MSISDN is the number which is used fordialing. So when you call your friend/a mobile, you call theMSISDN number of the mobile, not the IMSI. In factthe IMSI is burned in the SIM card, which will beused while authenticating with network.
