SIM Cloning Tools

SIM cards grant access to cell phones on the GSM network and store vital information about the phone, the user account and contacts. A SIM card that is damaged, lost or stolen can mean lost contacts, lost time and, in business, lost profits. Fortunately, there are several SIM cloning tools that make a copy of a SIM card to use as a replacement.

This SIM card cloner is an attachment that plugs into the USB port of any PC. It has one data port that is designed to fit several different SIM card sizes, and it supports SIM cards with 32k to 64k GSM SIM V1 formatting. The Datopal device reads several types of SIM card, but writes to a special SIM card that can hold the information of up to 12 different SIM cards on its single chip. The data can then be selected and used in any GSM phone. Although the Super SIM card can be used on the same network as a service provider-issued SIM card, using the same number on two phones at the same time can cause problems with the number, up to and including being locked out of the phone number by the phone's service provider.
