SIMCardManager

SIMCardManager is a tiny and portable software application that supplies you with information about your mobile phone's SIM card. All you have to do is insert it into a card reader and plug it into the computer.

As there is no installation involved, you can drop the executable file to any part of the hard disk and just click it to run. There is also the possibility to save SIMCardManager to a USB flash disk or other removable storage unit, in order to run it on any PC effortlessly and without installing anything beforehand.

An important aspect worth taking into account is that the Windows registry and Start menu do not get updated with new entries, and no extra files are created on the disk, thus leaving no traces behind after its removal.

The GUI is user-friendly, based on a regular window with a plain and simple structure, where you can select a reader from the drop-down list if multiple ones devices are attached to the PC.

The software utility shows SIM card information pertaining to the ICC ID, PIN1 and PIN2 state, along with SIM card content, namely phone book (ADN), fixed dialing (FDN) and SMS messages.

Although SIMCardManager does not implement buttons for copying information to the Clipboard, exporting it to file or printing it, the first option is possible by making a text selection and triggering the global hotkey or opening the right-click menu. There are no other noteworthy options available here.

We have not encountered any unpleasant suprises in our tests as far as stability is concerned, since SIMCardManager did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. It has a good response time and, as expected, does not put a strain on machine performance, consuming low CPU and RAM.

Although it is not particularly rich in its feature set, SIMCardManager provides a simple and effective solution to learning more about your SIM card's capabilities, and it is accessible to all types of users, regardless of their skill level with such tools.
