ToggleIntroduction
For telecom professionals, network engineers, and SIM card personalization experts, HKCARD ELECTRONICS CO., LIMITED offers a comprehensive LTE WCDMA SIM/USIM Card Reader Writer Programmer kit. This bundle includes the XCRFID USB reader/writer device, 5 blank programmable 4G LTE USIM cards, and a SIM Personalize Tools software CD, providing everything needed to write critical parameters such as ICCID, IMSI, KI, OPC, and ADM onto blank SIM cards.
The kit is specifically designed for Windows operating systems and is not compatible with macOS. It is intended for experienced engineers who possess in‑depth knowledge of SIM card architecture and mobile network authentication. If you are not familiar with SIM programming, please do not purchase this product.
What’s Included in the Package
- 1 × XCRFID SIM Card Reader Writer – USB interface, supports reading and writing 2FF, 3FF, and 4FF SIM cards as well as various smart card chips.
- 5 × Blank 4G LTE USIM Cards – Rewritable, triple‑format (Standard/Micro/Nano) SIM cards ready for personalization.
- 1 × SIM Personalize Tools CD – Windows‑based software for writing ICCID, IMSI, KI, OPC, OP, PUK, and other SIM parameters.
- Instruction & driver files – Included on the CD for installation.
Key Features of the Reader Writer Programmer
Wide Card Compatibility
The XCRFID reader writer supports SIM cards (2G/3G/4G/5G USIM/ISIM) and a range of smart card ICs, including:
- SLE4442, SLE4428, SLE5528, SLE5542
- AT24C02, AT24C16, AT24C64
- AT88SC series
- eID cards
- EMV payment cards
This flexibility makes the device suitable for multi‑purpose laboratory and production tasks beyond just SIM programming.
Write Critical SIM Parameters
With the included personalization tools, you can read and write the following data onto a blank USIM card:
- ICCID (Integrated Circuit Card Identifier)
- IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity)
- KI (Authentication Key – NOTE: writing only; direct reading of KI from a protected card is not supported)
- OP / OPC (Operator Code / Operator Code Configuration)
- PUK (Personal Unblocking Key)
- ADM (Administrative Code)
- SMSC (Short Message Service Center number)
Important: The software cannot read back protected data such as the KI code directly from a card that has already been locked or provisioned by an operator. This is a hardware/software security limitation, not a defect.
Blank 4G LTE USIM Card Specifications
The five blank cards included in the package are fully rewritable and support the latest 4G networks:
- Network Compatibility: 4G FDD LTE, WCDMA, GSM
- Form Factor: 3‑in‑1 plug‑in size – Standard SIM (2FF), Micro SIM (3FF), Nano SIM (4FF)
- Material: Durable PVC
- Chip Memory: 128K (supports larger memory options upon request)
- Security Algorithm: Milenage (supports writing KI, OPC, etc.)
- Operating System: Native COS pre‑installed
These cards are perfect for telecom operators, MVNOs, or test labs that need to provision their own subscriber profiles.
Software & System Requirements
- Operating System: Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 10, Windows 11 (32‑bit & 64‑bit)
- macOS Support: Not available. The software and drivers are designed exclusively for Windows environments.
- Driver Installation: The reader uses a CCID‑compliant driver; Windows should automatically recognize it. In some cases, a driver from the included CD may be required.
- Software Interface: Simple graphical UI for selecting card type, reading current values, and writing new parameters.
Important Usage Notes – Professional Engineers Only
Please read carefully before purchasing:
- Professional Knowledge Required: This kit is intended for telecom engineers, SIM card developers, and network security professionals who understand ICCID/IMSI/KI concepts, authentication algorithms, and smart card file structures. If you do not have this technical background, please do not buy this product.
- KI Reading Limitation: The tool cannot extract or read the KI code from a previously provisioned SIM card that has its security locked. KI can only be written to a blank card.
- Blank Cards Only: The included SIM cards are blank; they contain no phone number or service. You must program them with valid, authorized operator data before use.
- Windows Only: Do not attempt to run the software on a MAC or Linux system; it will not function.
- Legal Compliance: Ensure you have the legal right to program and use the IMSI/KI combinations you write onto the cards.
