For those interested individuals, I have made available on my site a
database of all currently assigned Cellular AMPS SIDs as of the
transfer of Cellular SID administration from the FCC to the private
sector on October 1st. An FCC-registered SID(s) is no longer a
condition of a Cellular license, and the FCC ULS database has deleted
all previously available licensed SIDs documentation. This database
preserves the ULS listings as of the privatization on October 1st.
Please note that the database reflects AMPS broadcast SIDs, as AMPS
modulation is a requirement of a Cellular license, such that AMPS &
digital SIDs may or may not be coincident, the latter primarily due to
digital SID consolidation.

Beware, if you are not utilizing a broadband network connection, the
above database consisting of all 2708 Cellular licenses is a 1.35 MB
HTML file.

3600 planes with transponders are burning 8-10 million
gallons of kerosene per hour over the USA. R-12 car air
conditioners are responsible for the ozone hole, right?

If you have to ask, you don't need it... ;-)
Seriously, it would allow you to know what cell company you're
roaming on if your phone has a "field test mode" or somesuch
that dispays SIDs.
It's informational, and to us nerds, that means fun!
Nice work, Andrew...

Andrew, what do the colors signify? While I understand that Block can
be only A or B (this is cellular), what is the Status column telling
us?

Correct.
The database reflects all 2705 (not 2708 as I quoted earlier) Cellular
licenses (even including the Gulf of Mexico Service Area CMA306) that
have ever been awarded by the FCC. However, due to various
transactions, not all of those licenses are still currently active.
By my count, 2226 of those 2705 are active according to FCC
classification.
There exist 306 MSAs (including the GMSA CMA306) & 428 RSAs (including
RSAs in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, & the
Northern Mariana Islands) for a total of 734 CMAs. Each CMA has two
complete licenses: Block A & Block B, more commonly referred to as
A-side & B-side, respectively. Therefore, a total of 1468 complete
CMA licenses exist. Licenses may be geographically partitioned, such
that a single CMA may have more than one A-side or B-side license or
licensee (e.g. a hypothetical CMA001A-1 & CMA001A-2), though such is
far more common in sparsely populated RSAs than MSAs. The preceding
accounts for the fact that there are more active Cellular licenses
(2226) than aggregate Cellular Block A & Block B licenses (1468) in
existence. Thus, on average, each CMA possesses almost exactly three,
not two, Cellular licenses & licensees, though in many instances the
partitioned licenses (e.g. A-1 & A-2) are held or have been acquired
by the same ultimate entity of control.

"System ID", a 1-5 digit numvber that tells your phone what system it
belongs to. The A band carriers use odd numbers, B use evens.
In the good old days, when your phone picked up the signal of a SID
not it's own, it would light up it's roaming indicator.
