447. What are the types of SIM ?
There are basically 3 types of SIMs:
Non-programable - cannot be programmed and must be replaced with a new SIM if changing SIM info.
Programable - integrated into the phone, can be reprogrammed, i.e., does not have to be replaced if changing info (also referred to as embedded).
Soft SIM - an application, not a separate piece of hardware, in the phone, it can be programmed.
Soft SIMs are not really deployed yet ,because of security concerns.
