HOW TO READ A MOBILE PHONE SIM CARD



Mobile SIM card reader tool setup usually requires one hardware plus software combination.Mobile SIM card reader tool is commonly used for retrieving deleted or lost phone numbers and text messages with the help of a SIM card data recovery software.
SIM card information reader utility has a capability to display ICC-ID (Integrated Circuit Card identification number) of SIM card with SPN (Service Pprovider Name) and SDN (Service Dialing Numbers). Application recovers lost SIM card messages and contacts with the help of USB interfaced SIM card reader device.SIMcard information backup software is able to retrieve undetected and inaccessible data including inbox, outbox, drafts, sent items messages , contact names and numbers from the mobile phone SIM card.Besides,SIM card reader tool can recover missing data which is lost due to virus infection, human error or any other reason.

You can easily get the SIM card reader from  http://www.zeromartz.com/multifunction-sim-card-reader-usb-p-1104.html for $4.5, and though they usually ship with a software CD, I have not found one that has the right drivers with it. What this has meant for me is prying open the plastic casing and looking at the chip-set manufacturer, subsequently diving into Google to find in the majority of cases a Taiwanese manufacturer hosting the drivers for the reader.
Then comes the software. I recommend Data Doctor Recovery Sim Card from Pro Data Doctor, it has a nice interface and works, which was also a challenge. This will set you back $69.
Once the SIM is in the reader and its connect to the USB port on your computer and working correctly after the drivers have been installed, you can start-up the program and click the magnifying glass icon. You will then be prompted to select the reader type, which in my case is Phoenix technology standard.
You will be asked to define the port, data baud and parity. To determine what port was assigned, I open up the Device Manager on Windows XP and look under modem to find the reader. The baud should remain at 9600 and the parity at even. Once this is done, the software will scan the SIM for data and display it on the screen were it can be viewed or save to a text file.
