SIM Card Reader for GSM CDMA Backup

Who Benefits and Who Does Not

Travellers and users with multiple handsets gain a pocket-sized tool to clone or edit SIM data on Windows 98, XP or Vista. Buyers needing direct micro-SIM or nano-SIM support without an adapter cannot use this reader as-is. It also excludes anyone requiring Mac or Linux compatibility.

Questions about this item

What USB port spacing does the 6.2 cm long reader need?

The clear-blue reader is 6.2 cm long, 3.0 cm wide and 1.0 cm high, so it fits a single standard USB-A port without blocking the adjacent socket.

Which driver must be installed before inserting a SIM card on Windows XP?

Run the supplied setup program first; only after the driver finishes should you place the standard SIM into the slot and connect the reader via USB.

How often should the SIM-slot contacts be cleaned for reliable reads?

Wipe the gold contacts gently with a dry lint-free cloth whenever the software reports read errors or after the reader has been carried loose in a pocket.
