+Enabling and disabling FDN
+==========================
+
+The Fixed Dialing Numbers (FDN) mechanism is normally disabled.  The protocol
+prescribed by GSM SIM specs is that FDN is enabled when the regular ADN
+phonebook is invalidated, and is disabled (unrestricted dialing allowed)
+otherwise.  fc-simtool provides commands for invalidating and rehabilitating
+ADN, thereby enabling and disabling FDN:
+
+inval-adn
+
+This command invalidates ADN and thereby enables FDN.
+
+rehab-adn
+
+This command rehabilitates ADN and thereby disables FDN.
+
+The SIM will only allow inval-adn and rehab-adn operations after you have
+successfully authenticated with PIN2 - see verify-pin2 command description.
+
+GSM SIM specs also stipulate a certain hack to prevent FDN-ignorant phones from
+making "forbidden" unrestricted calls: the specs stipulate that when a SIM
+powers up in an FDN-enabled state (ADN is invalidated), the "smart" logic in
+the SIM invalidates two essential files EF_IMSI and EF_LOCI (needed for GSM
+operation), requiring the phone (ME) to rehabilitate these two files at the
+beginning of every SIM session when FDN is in use.  The thinking must have been
+that if a given ME knows how to do these extra rehab-imsi, rehab-loci steps,
+then it also knows about FDN and will honor it.  Our answer: OK, whatever - but
+we do provide rehab-imsi and rehab-loci commands in fc-simtool.  These
+operations require only CHV1 access, thus PIN1 or no PIN at all depending on
+whether or not PIN1 is enabled - no need for PIN2.
