- rasz_pl 12y agoyou can buy empty, but still receive enabled sim cards in developing countries in bulk very cheaply
- lordnacho 12y agoSo ask people to send an SMS then?
- dredmorbius 12y agoAny sources or details on that?
- troels 12y agoThere's a huge mobile phone recycling industry with its center of operations in asia (Hong Kong). Old phones are traded in very large bulks and a lot of these will have their sim cards still in. I believe the buyers take the phones apart and reuse/resell components, where sims are just one type of component tha can be traded.
- dredmorbius 12y agoOne of my thoughts is that there might well be an opportunity in bulk-providing SIM cards.
- sospep 12y ago>> he processes SIM cards dropped off by men on motorcycles, paying a few cents for a card that would sell for $5 to $10 in the United States
