The long alphanumeric format can be up to 16 characters long. The short 
alphanumeric format can be up to 8 characters long. 
The numeric format is the GSM Location Area Identification number (refer to GSM 
04.08 [8] subclause 10.5.1.3), consisting of a three BCD digit country code (as per 
ITU-T E.212 Annex A [10]), plus a two BCD digit network code, which is 
administration specific. 
The returned <oper> is not in BCD format, but in IRA characters converted from 
BCD, and therefore the number has the following structure:
(country code digit 3)(country code digit 2)(country code digit 1)(network code digit 
2)(network code digit 1)
