But here in Austria many mobile phone shops have a SIM card punch with which you can punch out a micro-SIM or nano-SIM from a standard-SIM.In some other countries, the mobile providers issues SIMs that are pre-punched to pop out either of the 3 small sim sizes from a full credit-card sized card where key information like the PUK code and serial number are printed. More generally, there is no guarantee that hardware cards not sold through mobile phone carriers keep the actual chip/electronics within the nano-sim area near the middle of the contacts, most notably, NFC compatible cards will often have the NFC antenna outside that area, and it's a matter of luck if the contact card functionality works after cutting on any given hardware model.We are not talking about 'normal SIM cards' for use by mobile telephony but rather about the OpenPGP Smart Card V3.4 in SIM format [1]. This also doesn't have NFC functionality, so it can be punched fairly safely. You just have to do it rightExactly, and there is no easy way of knowing if the cards used by floss-shop havechip parts outside the nano-sim boundary, which is smaller than the contact area on ID000 cards (seriously possible), nor if those cards are internally multi-chip constructs (rare but possible).
Thats true! Point for you ;) regards Juergen -- /¯\ No | \ / HTML | Juergen Bruckner X in | juergen@bruckner.email / \ Mail |
