Tips
- Make a S'more (a snack of toasted biscuits, chocolate and marshmallows) or other while watching the SIM card burn in the campfire, and enjoy!
- Remember not to hurt yourself when trying to destroy the SIM card.
- To delete SIM card data from a mobile phone, go to the phone settings and look for the “reset” or “delete” function. This is usually found in the phone's settings menu. However, the main function of a SIM card is to connect a cellular phone with a service provider's network (Telkomsel, Indosat, XL, etc.) using a special identity. Only data that has been selected and saved on the SIM card (or which the phone device automatically saves to the SIM card) can be deleted. Additionally, remove the SIM card from the phone and see if any unused data remains. If yes, the data has been saved in the phone device (phone memory) or in other storage devices such as SD card. Most modern phones do not save data to the SIM card automatically.
- Some carriers can delete data from the SIM card using software from the computer. This method is safer because it will delete all data on the SIM card, including SIM card owner information, personal data, and API (Application Programming Interface) settings.
- Some phones indicate when the memory is free, without actually erasing the data on it. Others delete data by overwriting it using random bits or all zeros. The only way to be sure data is actually deleted is to erase it using computers, memory card readers, and software that can do the same.
- SIM cards have some volatile memory (which can be erased) and some non-volatile (permanent). This is because the term SIM stands for Subscriber Identity Module and, therefore, has at least one identifier that cannot be used. deleted. The only way to delete the data is to physically destroy the card. However, this may include a violation of the purchase agreement obtained when purchasing a SIM card. Just return the SIM card to the mobile operator and ask for it to be destroyed.
- You can see gold colored squares on all SIM cards. If the gold box is cut, the SIM card cannot be used anymore.
