Howto tell v2/3 sim card from v1

[lieb39]

hello everyone,

Just wondering if there is a way, or a general rule to determine a v2/3 simcard from a v1 (that can be used with the new technique) *without* a sim card reader..

Thanks!

sorry there is no way to identify v2/v3 externally.

Sam/Admin please call this thread. Too many "sim clone" threads around. So confusing...

Well I had a question and posting in the 15+ pages doesnt answer it really.

Is there a general rule for telling? For example, I have a 3g Optus card - too new?

Cheers

And I have a 3G Vodafone card about 1 year old... I hope it's a v1

Forget it.. This are all newer cards and not v1 ones.. If I remember right, v1 cards have for example only space for 10 sms on card. Really old cards

Good joke. :p I have a 10 year old T-Mobile (D1) SIM and I'm not sure it is a V1 SIM. Even 5-6 years old SIMs are usually NOT V1 SIMs anymore.

Good luck finding one, you need a WORKING one, not just an old one. ;)
Ask your dad, your mom, your older relatives, maybe somebody still has a very old contract and is willing to give it away for a new one, whatever. You need a WORKING V1 SIM, otherwise forget about it.

I suppose 100% of the 3G enabled SIMs are NOT V1 SIMs.

Will the network reactivate an old sim if you supply the IMSI code ?

k what ive found:

the only one who really can tell what card you have is your provider. but

v3= 250 telephonebook entries| gsm/umts 3volt
v2=gsm 3volt
v1=gsm 5volt

you can call your provider and order a v1 sim for some bucks (germany/other countries dont know)
since mid 2002 v2 cards(germany)

I have done exactly this! I had a very old SIM from 1997, and I tried to reactivate. In the shop of the carrier, they told me that it is not possible, but I insisted and they have promised me to send me an v1 card in the next days (from a very old stock..) Now, I'm very excited

The clou "I need an old sim card for my old car phone" works perfectly ;-) I will get the V1 card from my provider asap - linked as a second card to my existing one :-)

U can find out with Woronscan 1.09, just start to search Ki, if your card is not V1 u will get taht message and extraction will stop.

Oh is that so?? So it means that as long as it is searching it's because it's a V1 card?

The same here....

On another phone try to ad a contact to your addressbook and instead of placing it onto your phonememory try to put it onto your SIMmemory. (there should be an option somewhere)
If you have only 10 or so spaces available you have a V1-SIM.
Correct me if I'm wrong. ;)

hi, if my sim can store maximum 10-sms and 150-contacts. could it be V1 SIM?
