How SIM Cards Actually Work

Күн бұрын

What SIM does stand for? It means subscriber identity module or subscriber identification module. The first SIM card in the world was developed in 1991 by the German company Giesecke & Devrient. They sold 300 SIM cards to Radiolinja, a Finnish wireless network operator. In 1992, they sold the first GSM mobile phone with a SIM card; it was a Nokia 1101. Today, it’s hard to find a person who’s never used a SIM card - over 7 billion gadgets around the world use them to make calls, send SMS and surf the web.
Why do I need a SIM card?
Can my phone work without a SIM card?
How does a SIM card work?

I once gave my old phone to a kid to use so he can play games on it. It had no SIM card, so no way of making or receiving phone calls. His dad told me later on they found out the hard way that some phones can still make 911 calls without a SIM card. Useful tip to know.

My first mobile phone was a Motorola m301. Built like a brick with a credit card SIM.

It will need to go to a museum soon!

A phone with no SIM card should still allow you to connect to emergency services when dialing 911, 999, etc... (also why smartphones have shortcuts for emergency numbers that bypass the lock screen) I believe the SIM card exists only to unscramble or unblock access to the network; a means of control for your service provider. Emergency services should be excluded from this. I was hoping the video would have been more clear about this.

eSIM and iSIM uses the same connection method. It is just rewritable and stored on the motherboard or SoC. It is different techonology, but it isn't inherently better at connecting or more secure. Though, it is physically harder to damage, or sim-swap. And preventing sim-swap could use ephemeral sims so if it is extracted it would be replaced quickly

I was 37 years old when I got my first flip phone. Texting was weird. And too difficult to bother with. I was 43 when I got my first iphone (yeah, slow, but technology doesn't interest me one bit). IPhone was too fussy so I now use Samsung. And still don't know much about SIM Cards. Except that when my phone screen broke my friend gave me his old one to use for awhile. It is called a Sky Pro 3. It has 2 SIM card ports and an SD card port!! So I can have 2 separate phone numbers on one phone, or use one SIM for calling and texting and one for data, and you have full control in settings. Super cool!! Add that I can also add another number through Voip like Google Voice or Talkatone, my one cheap backup phone with only 16 g of memory (which doesn't matter since I can use my SD card for memory as well as sync photos or back up photos to google, I have everything I need! This old gal figured all this out on my own. Took forever but I did it.
