Spare 3G SIM, is it useful for anything? - Touch Pro, Fuze General

I have a 3G ATT sim card just lying around, can I do anything with it?
Examples if any so I know where to look would be awesome.
Thanks!

I have a humungous pile of these.
You can call in to activate one on your account should you lose another one, it gets zapped by lightning, etc.
You can use em to store contacts and sms!

Damn I hoped I could do somthing amazing with it like build a time machine or somthing... Oh well I guess itll just hold numbers.
Thanks G!

You'd still need a flux capacitor..

Moving to General.

Use it to scrape out toe cheese.

with a little bit of creativity...
If you get another one of spare SIM cards you can easily make very nice earrings...

What a magical evening you must have had with your special Sim card. Who doesn't deserve a hot pocket and a cold beer at the end of a long day..?

Byt than again the average person has no idea what a sim card is lol

though it happens very, very rarely (but it has happened in the past), sometimes when service providers are updating their towers, they have glitches, where sometimes they may end up forgetting to re-secure their network. it's happened in the past, that with an old t-mobile sim card that was deactivated, I was able to throw it into a phone and get online with the temporary proxy settings that were available at the time. perhaps, if you're lucky, someday your 3g service provider might make the same mistake?

I think my phone has spyware!

Hi!
I have a HTC HD2. I was recently busted by the cops for some illegal drugs.
I was in arrest 3 days, and when I recived the phone it was fully charged! So I know they have been synced it and used it to find evidence. But I have quite more batterydrain than before(I belive. Maby I am paranoid?), so I am worried that they have installed a wire tapping program or something on it.
This is in Norway.
Is there any way to find out?
Can I hard reset the device and be sure that the syware is gone, or do I need to flash another ROM?
Thank you for answears!
Jokim
akilles_, dude, no spyware is needed to track your calls and to track your current position Didn't you see any MOB movies? Use the street public phones to find the dope! Your mobile is like an opened book (and not only yours)
So I know they have been synced it and used it to find evidence.

So what's the problem - open ActiveSync on device and check partnership. Thus you will know that for sure....
this thread deserves an lol.
Lol.
Just get another sim card and move to Amsterdam.
you're stoned man. LOL!
a hard-reset will do and get some sleep.

Either he's pulling someone's leg or the lining from his nose to his brain has been damaged by cocaine. . .
Not only do a hard reset, but get a new phone number & sim card!
I know that they lisening on my calls and sms from before. they have done that in almost a year. I also know they dont need spyware to do that.
But to use my phone as a mic in a room and lisening to my conversation to others in the room, I belive they need spyware. Thats why I ask.
sorry for crappy english writing. But U all know that dealers dont get education!

Dude, nevermind the language
Read this http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_hd2_leo_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html
and perform hard reset.....
And better buy pre-payed sim and a new phone 'cause your IMEI is anyway traced by them through the provider's equipment
And - find yourself another business. Otherwise sooner or later you are in deep ****.
You need to get off meth your over the top paranoid. Take the plea bargain.
unless your dealing in millions or dollars worth of drugs i very much doubt the police are gonna spend 1000's monitoring your phone or making it into a listening device by using the mic to listen to your conversations ( it might happen in movies but the practicalities of doing it is different).
reset your phone , get a new sim and lay off the weed
Why we all discussing this and why havent the mods shut it? this guy wudnt know how to deal a deck of cards nevamind drugs and if he was (unless he's an idiot) he wudnt be shouting about it on the internet lol

Thank you & Merry Christmas XDA! Whats your FAV iPhone feature?

hahaha! Sorry to be so crass but whatevs. This stuff is so perfect I had to post it plus I'm surprised we're JUST now seeing a print like this one. I actually think even the iClones will like to wear this print anyway since they're usually into whatever is trendy. This way, its completely outspoken and I never really have to say anything. I can be on a bus, in an elevator, at the grocery store...ummm, AT&T Store, anywhere! Its AWESOME!!!
So Merry Christmas to my XDA fam, ant-iPhonies, and iCloners alike!! This is legit. I know the guy and they're doing pre-orders now, so I know I'm getting one.
Anyway, I thought I'd put it out there for my XDA fam. I've been following for hella, but I rarely post, and keep a pretty low profile. Usually I figure things out my dang self but I'm always turning people onto the community. I mean how many times have you run into someone with some HTC phone and its still got the protective shipping plastic on the back about to fall off (like your grandmas' 40 year old plastic covered couch) and you can tell they haven't even begun to use it?! Yeah, I know...what a waste right. And thats why I am very grateful for this gash darn community.
Ya'll Rule, XDA!!!
HTC -4- LYFE biiiiiiaaaaaaaaaa...*cough**hack*...umm, well at least after this Samsung Captivate goes out of style THEN I'll be back to HTC...cool?!
ps...to be truthful, it doesn't have much to do with iPhones or Mac's to me. I'm sure they technically do their jobs well. However, its the "greater-than-thou" attitude that seems to inhabit people once they "wield" a APPLE device that enrages me. Some one gets an iPhone or a MAC and all of a sudden they apparently 1) know calculus, 2) speak 3 languages, 3) can locate Tanzania on a topographical globe, 4) and wear Birkenstocks?! EEF all that madness. Its more the big corporate One-Size-Fits all mentality that enrages me.
pps...any thoughts?
Very nice but off topic have to go

IPhone owners say the darndest things

I was talking to an iPhone owner about the internet situation at his house when I asked him why he just doesn't tether if he has good phone reception
To which his reply was" if I tether my iphone then I'll have to connect it to the computer to turn it back on' when clearly what he was thinking was a tethered jailbreak. And not wireless internet
To which I laughed hard for about 5minutes solid.
This got me pondering about other people's experiences with iSheep so please share and discuss them here!
Most of you may have heard of this, i ask my friend why she wanted to buy a 4S, and she replied:
"It's got Siri"
And i was like

Swyped from my GT-i9100
I have one. My friend posted a siri vs google now vid on his timeline and of course google now trumped. The ishep convo goes like this:
Isheep, upon seeing the video, simply said:
Nope
Smart person:
Explain to me why siri is better.
Me: IPHONES SUCK
Isheep:
Siri is better because it's still really fast, and the droid only beat it by fractions of seconds at some points. It also gave more out more data than its competitor, and was more visually appealing. I also personally don't care which sounds more human like either.
Me:
Wrong on all counts. Android was WAY faster on most tests and it is MUCH more appealing. It did not give out more data whatsoever. Also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grmixtB9dZM
Smart person:
In most cases people want data immediately, not more of it. And siri only displayed more data once.
Isheep:
Yeah but it did give it out immediately. I don't think most people would care if you get data in 2 seconds vs 2.5 seconds, or even 2 vs 3 seconds
Smart person:
People want information and not those little "additions" that say "the weather looks good outside today."
Idk why but this just makes me laugh...

Leaving the O3D community in style!

I don't really like these kinds of topics, but I found my situation quite funny and perhaps worth sharing.
Last Friday I lost my O3D after it fell out of my bag.
I was riding this:

}
and descending this road, the Transfagarasan:
I built the bike myself, I even made a bike mount that fitted the phone and its flipcase, and it would stay put no matter how hard the bike fell. However, that particular day I had it in a pocket in the rear bag, charging from an external battery. I don't know why I didn't put the phone in the back pocket of my cycling jersey, it would have been way more secure.
The upside, of course, was the ride! I was so happy at the bottom, after over 5000ft (1500m) of teeth-grinding descent, that when I got that sick feeling out of the blue, looked back and saw the charging cable dangling freely, I just couldn't get angry. I had already lost my touring colleague the previous day due to different views over the tour, so after loosing the phone and consequently the tour schedule, camera, gps, radio, weather app, emergency communications and nearly all the photos (I had uploaded 3 of them on the road), I just felt defeated and rode home for the next 2 days. I bought a map to plot a quick and easy route home, and I could have bought a camera and a phone, but I felt like crap for loosing the almost 300$ I paid for the phone and decided to end the tour after a week's riding of the planned 3.
Now I got myself a Dell Streak 5, and while I miss the 3D capabilities and the camera on this one isn't great, I really like it and it's nice not having that feeling that you might still be missing a call now and then and not know about it. Nonetheless, I hope ICS will be everything we ever hoped for the O3D, and the wait won't be for nothing!
Damn. must feel bad to lose your phone.
I will hope ics will be everything for this device to.
but i think i already sold the phone before it comes out.
you may want to drive that road again and search for it.
a dell streak aint something either. i would rather call that crap than a phone.
i would search it. even if it's a extremely long road.
Greetings, Paul

Phone gone crazy

Hello, I'm not even sure am I posting in right sector? However, I have some serious issues with my phone lately. It started 2 years ago with my Note 3, I'm suspecting that someone government or some individual spy my phone. However, let me explain you whats going on before you think i'm paranoid.( i'm not hey?). So i bought Note 3 post paid with local telecomunication company 2 months after the release, and everything was normal. Then i went out of the country to holiday, there stops my signal. No roaming, can't select any carrier. So i asked guy where i bought phone whats going on he told me that it's becouse they might still not active roaming. Alright no problem. The minute i enter my country i got my signal back. Anyway i broke the phone and I switch phone and telecommunication company( so new phone, new SIM card, basically everything). And i went to another school trip, the minute I left my country the same thing happened. No signal, no roaming, can't select any carrier. After I came back I asked reseller whats it about he told me same thing first one did. Might be that roaming is still not active. Alright. Now whats happening, my mother bought the phone with that 2nd telecommunication company so we got 2 new phones on her name( not sure do you understand me? Both of phones are in agreement with my mother. My mother and I went aboard and the thing is with her phone everything was fine, roaming; signal. My phone of course don't have signal the minute I left boarder. Alright, i stopped to worry and let it go. After all, few months ago i started getting roaming in my own country? There started paranoia again I guess. I went to see the guy and he told me that becouse when signal on tower drops you might get roaming. But the thing is i've watch on YouTube this new surveillance system SS7 how spying is done on phones is done. So before they intercept SMS/call roaming turns on on target device, huh? Alright thats alot of paranoia I guess, so i simpy download AIMSICD and guess what? AIMSICD detect cell towers in my own house? Huh? And also it gave me "Danger" notification, i'm going to give you screenshot.
Anyone got idea whats going on? Too much paranoia or this is possible?
Someone might ask why i think i've begin tracked, well there are few reasons but i can't really discass it so publicly.
Thank you
