Really, though, what's the difference between this and guessing a password? Are ICCIDs secret?

They're random, but each carrier has constraints. So they only had to search AT&T's space. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatse_Security#AT.26T.2FiPad_e... Here's the ICCID structure http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICC-ID#ICCID

Edit: To be clear, ICCID's are not private, they're printed on the outside of the SIM card.
