i.Tech SIM Drive

Want a card reader for your SIM drive? Check out the i.Tech SIM Drive.

Internal memory, can backup SIM card data.

Can't read messages stored on the card.



Verdict

At Rs 509, one wonders just why you would want a SIM card reader with only 500KB of memory. If you have more than one phone and want to keep the numbers safe, this may come in handy. This device may also help when you need to transfer a large number of contacts from one SIM to another, or when you need to copy it to a comp. Other than that, it's a strictly functional product. Sure, it does whatever it claims to do, but apart from businesses it doesn't seem to have many applications.

It can only handle contacts, it can neither read nor write service provider data and the like.

The sim drive can't anything besides the contacts on the phone so you're out of luck. Service provider data and mobile identification are out.

This device can be easily customised by adding custom written device driver to read and write the service provider data. Because it will read through rs232 protocol from sim and transfers to USB, other processings are done in PC.

Ppl just dont jump at a chance to comment on someone. He also mentioned usb as another option. Also nokia has the largest share of mobile market so in majority of the cases mobile == nokia.
