The phone itself is only interested in using it for identification. I can't tell if this is true or false, but it seems that in either case, access to the SIM can imply access location data: > With the all-important (and till-now elusive) encryption key, Nohl could send a virus to the SIM card, which could then send premium text messages, collect location data, make premium calls or re-route calls.
