You can use TempData.You can pass every types of data between to action, whether they are in same controller or not. Your code should be something like it:

    public ActionResult GetMDN(string msisdn)
    {
        int sngid=10;

        TempData["ID"] = sngid;

        return RedirectToAction("IIndex");
    }

    public ActionResult IIndex()
    {

        int id = Convert.ToInt32(TempData["ID"]);// id will be 10;
    }
