I don't see why it would be unlikely. The standard identity smartcard (DoD PIV card, openPGP card, etc), like the standard credit/debit card, uses the same physical and electrical interface as a SIM (because a SIM is also a standard smartcard): the ISO7816 pattern. Dual-SIM phones are pretty common — even Apple has one! — and there's no technical reason you couldn't make one of the SIM sockets hotpluggable and present it to the applications on the phone instead of to the cellular module.
- newnewpdro 8y agoIf it's the size of a SIM or MicroSD card sure, but if we're talking about credit card sized cards it strikes me as unlikely for packaging reasons. The phone already requires tools for battery replacement, and now it's going to accomodate a durable credit card slot? Apparently this phone is going to be much bulkier than I imagined.
