Individual Membership : 

Member companies affiliated with one of the 3GPP Organizational Partners are eligible to become an Individual Member of 3GPP.  See "how to join" below.

Guest Membership : 

The 3GPP rules permit the Organizational Partners to grant the status of "Guest" to an entity which has the qualifications to become a future Individual Member.

This status is granted for a limited period (normally six months, two TSG cycles), and allows participation in 3GPP meetings, the right to receive documents, but not contribute documents, to take part in decision making, or to hold leadership positions.

To apply for Guest membership, see "how to join" below, but first read Article 10 of the 3GPP Working Procedures, which outline the terms and conditions of Guest status.
