Writable SIM Cards — Full Parameter Control at Your Fingertips

The defining feature of HKCARD’s product line is full writability. Unlike locked, operator-issued SIM cards, our cards let you program every critical field:

 Writable IMSI SIM Cards

The International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) is the unique number that identifies a subscriber on a mobile network. HKCARD’s writable IMSI SIM cards let you set, change, and re-set the IMSI as many times as needed — a critical capability for private network deployment, roaming tests, and MVNO provisioning. Many customers search for writable IMSI SIM cards free tools — HKCARD provides compatible open-source tool guidance at no extra cost.

Writable Ki SIM Cards

The Ki (Authentication Key) is the secret cryptographic key stored on the SIM that authenticates the subscriber to the network. HKCARD provides writable Ki SIM cards where the Ki can be programmed via secure PC/SC interfaces, giving operators and researchers full control over authentication.

Writable ICCID SIM Cards

The ICCID (Integrated Circuit Card Identifier) is the SIM card’s unique serial number. With HKCARD’s writable ICCID SIM cards, this value can be customized per card — essential for inventory management, MVNO branding, and regulatory compliance.

 Writable OP / OPc SIM Cards

OP (Operator Key) and OPc (Operator Key Derived) are used in USIM authentication algorithms (Milenage). HKCARD’s writable OP or OPc SIM cards let you program these values directly, enabling seamless integration with your HLR/HSS.

Writable KEY, SPN, MNC, and MCC SIM Cards

Beyond the core parameters, HKCARD SIM cards also support:

  • Writable KEY SIM Cards — full transport key and ADM key customization
  • Writable SPN SIM Cards — set the Service Provider Name displayed on handsets
  • Writable MNC SIM Cards — program the Mobile Network Code
  • Writable MCC SIM Cards — program the Mobile Country Code

This level of control makes HKCARD’s cards the most versatile programmable SIM cards on the market.


Re-Programmable SIM Cards — Not One-Time Burn

Many SIM cards sold online are one-time programmable (OTP) — once written, they cannot be changed. HKCARD takes a fundamentally different approach.

All HKCARD SIM cards are re-programmable (not one-time burn) SIM cards. You can:

  1. Write initial parameters (IMSI, Ki, OPc, ICCID, MCC, MNC, SPN)
  2. Test on your network
  3. Erase and reprogram with new values
  4. Repeat — unlimited cycles

This makes them perfect for R&D labsQA testingfield trials, and iterative MVNO deployment.


 Programmable SIM Cards Using PC/SC Tools (pySim & More)

HKCARD’s cards are engineered for compatibility with the tools engineers already use:

  • pySim (open-source Python tool for SIM programming)
  • sysmocom SIM card ecosystem tools
  • GRSIMWriteSIM Personalize Tools, and other commercial solutions
  • Any standard PC/SC smart card reader

No proprietary software lock-in. No hidden fees. Just plug in a reader, launch your tool, and start programming.

Tip: HKCARD provides detailed programming guides and technical support to help first-time users get started quickly.


 USIM / LTE SIM Cards — Beyond GSM-Only

HKCARD does not sell outdated GSM-only SIM cards. Every card in our catalog is a USIM / LTE SIM card built on modern Java Card platforms, supporting:

  • 4G LTE (FDD and TDD)

  • WCDMA / 3G
  • CDMA (CDMA SIM card / RUIM card / UIM card)
  • 5G NR (both NSA and SA modes)

Whether you need a 4G GSM SIM card for backward compatibility or a cutting-edge 5G SA 128K SIM, HKCARD has you covered.
