A test method for an electronic card comprising: - a non-activated identification component for storing information comprising at least one definitive identification number; - a GSM module for communicating on the GSM network linked to the non-activated identification component and for extracting information stored within the non-activated identification component; - a microcontroller for communicating with the GSM module; characterised in that the test method comprises the following steps: - the GSM network emits a request to the GSM module for a possible temporary identification number of the non-activated identification component; - the GSM module searches for the possible temporary identification number within the non-activated identification component; - determination of the absence of the possible temporary identification number; - the GSM module transmits the definitive identification number of the non-activated identification component to the GSM network; - a message is transmitted from the GSM module to the microcontroller in order to indicate the transmission of the definitive identification number of the non-activated identification component to the GSM network; - the microcontroller determines the validity of the operating state of the non-activated identification component and of the operating state of the GSM module. - a non-activated identification component for storing information comprising at least one definitive identification number; - a GSM module for communicating on the GSM network linked to the non-activated identification component and for extracting information stored within the non-activated identification component; - a microcontroller for communicating with the GSM module; characterised in that the test method comprises the following steps: - the GSM network emits a request to the GSM module for a possible temporary identification number of the non-activated identification component; - the GSM module searches for the possible temporary identification number within the non-activated identification component; - determination of the absence of the possible temporary identification number; - the GSM module transmits the definitive identification number of the non-activated identification component to the GSM network; - a message is transmitted from the GSM module to the microcontroller in order to indicate the transmission of the definitive identification number of the non-activated identification component to the GSM network; - the microcontroller determines the validity of the operating state of the non-activated identification component and of the operating state of the GSM module. - the GSM network emits a request to the GSM module for a possible temporary identification number of the non-activated identification component; - the GSM module searches for the possible temporary identification number within the non-activated identification component; - determination of the absence of the possible temporary identification number; - the GSM module transmits the definitive identification number of the non-activated identification component to the GSM network; - a message is transmitted from the GSM module to the microcontroller in order to indicate the transmission of the definitive identification number of the non-activated identification component to the GSM network; - the microcontroller determines the validity of the operating state of the non-activated identification component and of the operating state of the GSM module.
