: : RE: Just curious, what legitimate use is there for a SIM Card reader?
: I have seen advertisements for example commercial products to do the following legitime uses for SIM card readers:
: - editing your phone number list on SIM card using your computer
: - copying telephone numbers + SMS messages from old SIM card to a new one (for example service provided by some cellular phone shops for example when user wants to change phone operator)
: Those uses come to my mind.
I have two sim cards. One is from my old account and it has ALL my phone numbers in it but I've since closed that account and have a new account with a NEW sim card and another phone.
Instead of manually entering every entry, I want to simply copy all the entries from my old deactivated SIM card to my new one.
Very legitimate use. Not only that but if someone steals your phone and you have a backup of all this information, you can simply get a new card/phone and copy the information back in.
These are all legitimate uses.
