The SIM must start a Location Updating Request after changing the pseudonymous
301
IMSI, so the CN does not try to contact the ME with the previous pseudonymous
302
IMSI. The SIM applet must wait before switching the pseudonymous IMSI, because
303
otherwise it would be possible for an attacker to correlate the arrival time of
304
the SMS with the time of the following Location Updating Request.
