"Looks like you lost your sim tray ejector"
Raz keeps track of mine
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
I have the whole box. Because you know, it might be needed sometime :P
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
I have like four or five of these.
not whether you have it – it’s whether you know where it is
I usually flip it to justify excessive organization: “if you can’t find it when you need it, you don’t actually own it.”
Yes, in my drawer of miscellaneous tiny things, next to pens, tiny screwdrivers, and a few old microsd cards.
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.
I need them for work so I got a fancy keychain one
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
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
I bought a bag of 20, stash them all over the place.
I have one in my wallet and one on my keychain.
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.
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.
I still have the box for my phone with the SIM remover still in it lol
or a hoarder
Multiple ones.
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!
Or, you know, a hoarding problem…
Excuse me, what do you mean, 'problem'?
I have the ifixit screwdriver kit and one of the bits is a Sim card ejector. Does it count ?
A paperclip works fine.
It's good to finally get some recognition!
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.
I keep one on my key ring, never know when you need to pop in a burner sim.
If you’re using a burner SIM in your regular phone then it’s not really a burner SIM.
Fine if you’re just using it to hide your phone number companies, but if you’re hiding from the authorities then it’s the devices IMEI which is going to sell you out I’m afraid.
Yes, I keep them in the box.
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.
I have more than one. The key is the word somewhere.
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.
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.
