How SIM Card Works??

What is a SIM Card?

A microchip that identifies the subscriber on a network. It is like an ID card for cellular networks.

Role of IMSI

IMSI is a unique code that identifies every mobile phone subscriber globally. It remains unchanged even if the mobile number is ported.

Security of the SIM Card

SIM cards have a unique authentication key for secure access to GSM networks.

GSM: The Backbone

GSM is a widely used digital cellular technology with 4 frequency bands. It uses a variation of TDMA.

How Does a SIM Card Work?

When dialling, the phone sends data via the network, signed by the SIM card's key, to establish a connection.

Introduction to e-SIM

e-SIM has software loaded to a UICC, permanently installed in devices. It can be reprogrammed remotely.

Advantages of e-SIM

Environmentally friendly and offers enhanced security against duplication.

Disadvantages of e-SIM

Can be challenging for those with low digital literacy and may allow network operators to track user data.

Cellular Devices in 2021

Over 14 billion cellular devices existed, surpassing the world's population.

The hardware part of SIM compatible with 3G, 4G, and 5G network requirements.

UICC

Future of Connectivity

With evolving technology, SIM cards continue to play a pivotal role in global communication.
