Remarks

Broadcast Action: The subscription specific carrier identity has changed.

A specific carrier ID returns the fine-grained carrier ID of the current subscription. It can represent the fact that a carrier may be in effect an aggregation of other carriers (ie in an MVNO type scenario) where each of these specific carriers which are used to make up the actual carrier service may have different carrier configurations. A specific carrier ID could also be used, for example, in a scenario where a carrier requires different carrier configuration for different service offering such as a prepaid plan.

the specific carrier ID would be used for configuration purposes, but apps wishing to know about the carrier itself should use the regular carrier ID returned by #getSimCarrierId().

Similar like #ACTION_SUBSCRIPTION_CARRIER_IDENTITY_CHANGED, this intent will be sent on the event of #ACTION_SUBSCRIPTION_CARRIER_IDENTITY_CHANGED while its also possible to be sent without #ACTION_SUBSCRIPTION_CARRIER_IDENTITY_CHANGED when specific carrier ID changes while carrier ID remains the same. e.g, the same subscription switches to different IMSI could potentially change its specific carrier ID while carrier id remains the same.
