Dual Sim Covers For Your Cellphone

Sim Cards
By John Dulaney

The Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) is a smart card chip, of the size of a postage stamp, which when inserted in your mobile phone, forms the intelligent source of the various types of communications.

A Smart Card is an integrated circuit card (ICC) and is defined as a miniature card with embedded integrated circuit. The currently available SIM card has 16 to 64 kb of memory, which stores your personal telephone numbers that you call, text messages that you receive or send and other value added services. The memory storage available in your SIM card stores these data or information for you to avail them as and when you require.

One of the third generation mobile phone technologies is called Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). A Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) is an application for UMTS mobile telephony running on Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC).

UICC is another type of chip smart card used in GSM and UMTs. Unlike SIM, this card has a huge memory space and holds a few kilobytes of data. SIM cards are available on the basis of a subscription on signing a contract with the service provider.

Two SIM cards may also be used in your mobile phone. This has many advantages viz. you could hold two SIM cards in a single mobile phone, featuring pay-as-you-go and pre-paid as well, for your office and personal use respectively.

In most of the cases, the SIM can be removed from the mobile phone, enabling you to carry your mobile subscription and data through different types of mobile phones that you may choose to have along the line of GSM phones available.

It may so happen that the mobile phone with the SIM card in it is misplaced somewhere, stolen or lost. You may be liable to pay a charge to the service provider for issuing the duplicate SIM card to you.
Generally the mobile phones available are 'SIM unlocked' and as such it may be used with any SIM card from any carrier in the world.

The embedded circuitry of the SIM card holds information about the service plan that you have chosen as a subscriber. The information about your current area location (LAI) in the network is also stored by the SIM as network information.

The SIM card in your mobile phone identifies you, by holding an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI). All GSM and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) network users are uniquely associated with IMSI, and this number is stored in the SIM.

For security purposes, the SIM card features storage of Personal Identification Number (PIN) code, which is a 4-8 digit password chosen by you, and entered each time you wish to gain access to your mobile phone.
In addition to the mobile phone smart cards mentioned above, viz., SIM and USIM, the following are the other types which have application in different network technology:

ISIM - IP International Services Identity Module is a smart card like the SIM, which is applicable in a UICC smart card environment in a 3G (Third Generation Technology) mobile telephone in the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) environment.

 R-UIM - The Removable User-identity Module is like a SIM but capable of working with both, in CDMA and GSM phones and networks. The R-UIM fits into any existing GSM phone and is compatible with any GSM SIM.

W-SIM - The Wilcom SIM has been developed by Willcom, which, in addition to the functions of a SIM, provides radio receiver/transmitter facilities as its built-in feature.

The Evolution of Camera Cellular Phones

By Leon Van Tubbergh

Camera cellular phones have undergone tremendous change over the years. When they were launched, they were just a fancy add-on to mobile phones rather than a fully functional and useful tool. But today the print quality of the pictures has considerably improved and the memory capacity of the cell phones has also increased. That means the user can take more better quality pictures than before. At present, the print quality of photos snapped with top class mobile phone cameras is comparable to that of digital cameras.

All the major cellular handset brands such as Samsung, Nokia, and Motorola have different versions of the camera cellular phone. In fact, the use of such phones has become so common that people have started expecting a camera as part of the "standard" mobile phone accessories. As a result, all the cell phones in the higher range come equipped with digital cameras. The ease of transferring the photos to other mobiles through blue tooth, computers or data cable has made sharing photos easy and fun.

Camera Cellular Phones: Past And Present

The idea of a camera integrated with a phone, or the other way around, is older than most people think. Some of the patents of the phone-camera combo were registered as far back as the 1960s. But what was an innovative, but impractical idea began to see the light of feasibility only in 1990s. By this time, the use of cell phones had become very popular. Also, digital cameras were becoming affordable and were replacing the conventional cameras. Cell phones are smaller and sleeker than conventional phones and are electronically more suitable to host the digital camera hardware.

The first camera phone prototype was called "intellect". It was developed by Daniel A. Henderson in 1993. Rapid progress was made in this field in the 1990s, with companies such as Kodak, Canon, and Olympus developing new camera phone models. But these were more like digital cameras equipped with cell phone connectivity, not cell phones with camera option that we see today. Apple Corporation, a habitual pioneer, spotted the market for cell phones with cameras. The company launched Apple Videophone/PDA in 1995. But it did not become an instant craze among people as the company had imagined.

Sharp Corporation and Kyocera started to develop camera cellular phones in separate projects in 1997. But the technologies used by both companies were different. The credit of developing the first commercial camera cellular phone goes to Sharp. It was known as J-SH04 or simply J-Phone and was launched in Japan in 2001. It was exported to the USA, one year later.

The growth in popularity and functionality of cell phone with attached digital camera has been rapid during the past six years. The clarity of the images depends on the pixel count of the camera. All cameras having more than 2 mega-pixels of image resolution can provide good print quality. Samsung has several types of camera phones, which are stylish and affordable. Other companies such as Nokia and Motorola also roll out a number of mobile phones equipped with digital cameras, every year. But the reliability and design elegance associated with Samsung camera cellular phones make them a better choice.
