ani_meher 42 Report post Posted July 25, 2008 I have a tata card, which was bought purely for village use. As my village has only tata connectivity, I had bought it a year ago. It had 1 year validity. The validity is ending on 30 July. What can i do with the card then? Can I make it blank, so as to use new RIM/Tata/Virgin number on it? I remembere the mention of new tata card of 325 having validity of 3 years. Can anyone give more info on that? For me, maximum incoming time with no obligation of minimum recharge (like in lifetime) is the best bet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MOBILE FAN 42 Report post Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) The new SIM cards are very cheap. I dont think anybody will put his head to reuse a SIM card. If you like other services, better move to a new service and throw away the old card. Edited January 12, 2009 by MOBILE FAN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KumaarShah 143 Report post Posted January 12, 2009 ^^^ exactly...But also check with CC or CMO on new offers. All LT will have a minimum recharge of Rs 200 every 6 months and the 1/2/3 years validity will have a good cost attached to it initially and no min. recharge conditions after that. Choose your best option.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadikk 301 Report post Posted January 12, 2009 Well practically u should go for new card. Technically it is impossible to read parameter from Smart cards (RUIm/SIM/TSIM) leave alone writing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HetalDP 947 Report post Posted January 13, 2009 Impossible !!!!! Latest RUIM can only be read if your it can be Programmed once, once you commit change to Some Important Data like SIM ID, MEID, ESN etc. etc. you can not change it.. only OTA updates is allowed like STK 2.0 Specfications and PRL Uploading, MIN, SPC, SHA, Akey Programings.
