I don't see how this is a problem exclusive to a GSM carrier. Who says there has to be a SIM card? Couldn't the information be on a chip soldered to a board?

- dan_the_welder 17y agoWell, the GSM standard requires the SIM card for one.
- jm4 17y agoYou're only partially right. The GSM standard requires a SIM, but it doesn't say anywhere that it's required to be a card or that it needs to be removable. The SIM could just as easily be built into the device.
- blasdel 17y agoYet I've never seen a device in which they aren't removable... Even if it was integral to the device, it would still have to follow the standard interface, and potentially be cloned onto a standard removable one.
