Request

The <readSubscriberRequest> request extracts IMSI, MSISDN, and External Identifier routing data and subscriber data. See Subscriber and Routing Data for a description of subscriber and routing data. Each routing entity contains up to nine destination names.

If the group="y" attribute is specified, then the request extracts and displays all data associated with the subscriber. The returned response will have the Subscriber's Account ID, all IMSI, MSISDN, and External Identifier values, and the nine destination values from any of the subscriber's routing entities is returned in the response. All of a subscriber's routing entities have the same destination values, so any routing entity can be used to extract the values.

If group="y" is not specified or if group="n" is specified, then only the specified IMSI, MSISDN, and External Identifier routing entities are retrieved. The returned response will have each IMSI, MSISDN, or External Identifier value along with its individual up to nine destination values.

Semantic Rules (requests that do not specify the group attribute or specify group="n")

The accountId parameter cannot be specified.
At least one routing entity (IMSI, MSISDN, or External Identifier) must be specified.
A maximum of 10 routing entities (IMSI, MSISDN, External Identifier, or combinations of the two) can be specified.

Semantic Rules (requests that specify group="y")

All specified accountId, imsi, msisdn, or externalIdentifier values must be assigned to one subscriber. The specified IMSI, MSISDN, and External Identifier values cannot exist in a standalone routing entity.
The accountId parameter can be specified.
A maximum of six imsi, six msisdn, ten externalIdentifier, and one accountId values can be specified.

Request Format

The request must be inserted between the <soapenv:Body> and </soapenv:Body> XML tags, as shown in SOAP Request Messages.
