Yeah, that would be pretty cool.  IIRC, we can then extract bits from
the IMSI and figure out which provider the SIM is for too, right?

Yes, but the problem is that most of the countries use a MCC/MNC scheme of 3+2(23401), while USA uses 3+3 (310380).

Can you provide a sample of how this would look in the XML config too?
We need to ensure that we can store multiple MCC/MNC codes for each
provider in the table.
