If you’re building a telecom test bench and need a simple way to program test cards, this kit bundles the basics: a USB SIM/USIM card reader writer5 blank rewritable USIM cards, and SIM personalize tools for Windows.

It’s made for engineers and lab users. It is not a consumer product, and it’s not meant for “copying” a live operator SIM.


What this kit is used for

  • SIM Testing in operator labs and private network projects
  • Writing test profiles to blank SIM/USIM cards for device bring-up
  • Quick verification of card data and repeatable programming work

Key points (please read before ordering)

1) Windows only

The included software runs on Windows:

  • Windows XP
  • Windows 7 (32/64)
  • Windows 10
  • Windows 11

Not supported: macOS and Linux.

2) You cannot read protected Ki from an operator SIM

A common misunderstanding: “reader/writer” does not mean it can extract secret keys from an existing SIM.

This kit cannot read out protected/encrypted data such as Ki from a real carrier SIM card. In normal telecom security design, that information is not readable.

3) Blank cards ship with no subscriber data

The included USIM cards are blank and rewritable. Out of the box they will not provide voice/data service until you personalize them and provision them in your test environment.


What the cards support (blank programmable USIM)

  • Card type: 4G blank USIM (3-in-1: Standard / Micro / Nano)
  • Network capability (card platform): 4G FDD LTE / WCDMA / GSM
  • Typical writable items (project dependent): ICCID, IMSI, Ki, OPC, OP and related fields
  • Capacity: 128K
  • Use case: telecommunications operator / engineering testing

Reader/Writer capability (contact smart cards)

This USB device supports read/write operations for SIM/USIM and a range of contact chip cards used in testing environments, for example:

  • SIM (2G/3G/4G) test workflows
  • Common IC memory cards (SLE4442 / SLE4428 / SLE5528 / SLE5542, AT24Cxx series, AT88SC series, etc.)
  • eID / EMV cards in supported software contexts (depending on your application)

Interface: USB Type-A
Style: Portable, desktop use
Color: Blank


Package contents

You will receive:

  • 1 × USB SIM/USIM Card Reader Writer device
  • 5 × 4G LTE blank programmable USIM cards (3-in-1)
  • 1 × USB drive with Windows software (SIM personalize tools)
  • 1 × SIM adapter/converter (for size handling)

Who should buy this

This kit is a good fit if you:

  • already understand SIMPersonalization basics
  • need reliable SIM Tools for lab programming on Windows
  • work with private LTE/4G test networks, device QA, or operator test setups

If you’re unsure how SIM programming works, it’s better to ask first—we can confirm whether this kit matches your workflow.


Quick FAQ

Q: Can I use this on Mac or Linux?
A: No. The included SIM personalize tools are Windows only.

Q: Can this read Ki from my operator SIM and copy it?
A: No. It cannot read protected secret keys like Ki from a carrier SIM.

Q: Are the included cards ready to use for calls and data?
A: No. They are blank and must be programmed and provisioned for your test network.
