"Looks like you lost your sim tray ejector"

[-] Ksin@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Raz keeps track of mine

[-] TeddE@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

My kit:

I generally prefer the clear toothpick - easier to hold, came with a designer cupcake once (and I keep the flag on it because it's otherwise easy to lose a clear toothpick), generally better if the button is deeply recessed.

The paperclip phone tool is kept on the keychain between the USB micro card reader and the wallet sized SD card holder

[-] nuko147@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago

I have the whole box. Because you know, it might be needed sometime :P

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I have like four or five of these.

[-] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 95 points 4 days ago

I just put it back in the box when I'm done

I have a stack of boxes in the closet, because I might need them someday

Yes, in my drawer of miscellaneous tiny things, next to pens, tiny screwdrivers, and a few old microsd cards.

[-] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I keep one in my wallet along with a safety pin, hairpin, hair tie, and a twist key from an old fashioned roll top anchovy tin.

Any one of these things have come in handy a surprising number of times.

not whether you have it – it’s whether you know where it is

[-] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 6 points 3 days ago

I usually flip it to justify excessive organization: “if you can’t find it when you need it, you don’t actually own it.”

I need them for work so I got a fancy keychain one

[-] tomatoely@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

Question: Is using paperclips a worse alternative? I've found them useful for those sim pinholes but im not entirely sure if its good practice

[-] crusty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 days ago

Paperclips are just fine, they're just not as ergonomic / easy to hold while pushing

tied it around my keychain because SIMs are still much more handy than esim. Phone service where I live charge a fuck ton of money everytime you re register with the QR.

I have one in my wallet - just in case someone wants to steal my phone and I somehow have time to remove my SIM and SD before they take it.. optimistic I know

[-] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I bought a bag of 20, stash them all over the place.

[-] iconic_admin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I am the distributor of cell phones where I work. I have a box of these. They’re also useful to reset UniFi and other networking equipment.

[-] jacktherippah@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I have one in my wallet and one on my keychain.

Just keep it in the box the phone came in with all the warranty documentation. I've never lost one of these

Wrong topic bud. We are talking sim card release pins here. NOT the official cisco reset tool.

[-] jaykrown@lemm.ee 6 points 3 days ago
[-] MSugarhill@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Multiple ones.

[-] jenny_ball@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

or a hoarder

[-] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

it's within my phone's protection case, so i do have it right now. Also, anecdote, a random stranger on a bus was switching sim cards, and asked me if I have the tool, which I indeed I had!

[-] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 20 points 4 days ago

Or, you know, a hoarding problem…

[-] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

Excuse me, what do you mean, 'problem'?

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

A paperclip works fine.

[-] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 8 points 3 days ago

I have the ifixit screwdriver kit and one of the bits is a Sim card ejector. Does it count ?

[-] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

The ones I have seen most recently are so thin and flimsy that they are worse at the job than a paperclip.

I usually find my thinnest allen wrench and use that.

[-] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 14 points 3 days ago

It's good to finally get some recognition!

[-] recall519@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

I have a key holder with a fabric holder above it for random things. Like my checkbook for paying the gardeners, the mailbox keys, and this doodad is leftover from when I used to have a rechargeable front door camera doorbell.

[-] silverlightBeing@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

I have two, and I know exactly where they are. If GPS were more accurate, I could give you the GPS coordinates for each of them.

[-] CafecitoHippo@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

I have one sitting on my fireplace mantle in a little dish. It's there to pop our Arlo doorbell off when it needs to come inside to charge.

[-] EMHIPresume@startrek.website 5 points 3 days ago

Yes, I keep them in the box.

[-] wazzupdog 13 points 3 days ago

I keep one on my key ring, never know when you need to pop in a burner sim.

I have more than one. The key is the word somewhere.

Keychain baby
