Cell phone SIM cards

[lcoughey]

We don't get enough calls to bother investing in researching the recover-ability of SIM cards. Any of you do it? If so, PM me and I will add you to our list of companies to refer people to when they call.

What do you mean "recovery of SIM cards" ?

- diagnose / secure analysis ?
- accessing to data if the internal secure MCU is fried ?
- forensic stuff ?

(The same applies to other kind of smart cards)

PM me.

there are a lot of SIM card recovery appz
but not for mobile phones

google "sim card recovery"

[BlackST]

I know what to do eventually on SIM cards for cell phones , the OP probably wants something else like forensic analysis service on SIM and/or recovery of deleted data like text messages or deleted phonebook entries etc.

Note : phone SIM technology makes things very difficult even for us....

SIM cards easy to recovery the data.

more harder is when the videos are on the phone itself or photos
not that easy to recovery.
yes you can swap over the memory of the store information

but cost a lot more.

example would be blackberry phones

@craig

Many companies are implementing security options in their proprietary SIM cards, so data recovery is not easy if impossible at all , example: at least one telco I know makes their USIM (for UMTS) delete itself SMS data (and seems secure way) if the USIM is moved from one phone to another.... Phonebook is kept as it can be probably protected by PIN/PUK - of course if you disabled PIN phonebook is accessible. But SMS data is gone for sure.

came across blackberry and they look like none recoverable as yet.
