Does a simcard store any personal info?
I'm going to sell an iphone on eBay but I'm wondering if there could be any harm done if I sell it with the simcard
Along with the text messages, the SIM card holds your phone contacts with the related information like names and numbers, and history of calls including dates and times. This is why law enforcement seeks to gain entry to SIM cards in order to connect criminals to their associates. The SIM card also contains several pieces of information that relate to the security protocols, the network carrier, your Personal Identification Number (PIN), an unblocking code, and the services you use, like applications. Another very important piece of data is the last location of the phone, which is often useful in locating missing people.
Most (if not all) don't sell their SIM card with the phone. That contains your number so you should be the one to keep that.
SIMs nowadays though store the phone number, the carrier data & data/MMS settings & maybe contact/SMSs.
Again though, your SIM, your number, your property.
- Will my employer get my personal info? My employer just set up an IMAP account and I have an email address in it. My question is if he can get all the info on my Iphone since it's setup on it. He used to be in the communications business so I'm worried he put a software on my account to see my info. All help is appreciated.
- Which is more accurate regarding the details of an iphone, iphoneimei.info or imei.info? When I look up the IMEI of my broken iphone 5s on iphoneimei.info it says it's 16gb and when I look it up on imei.info it says it's 32gb… Which site is more accurate? The iphone is stuck in recovery mode and will not power on unless connected and it won't tell me the storage capacity in itunes.

- How to protect my personal info when selling my iphone 4s? I recently upgraded to the iPhone 5s from my 4s and am planning to sell the 4s on ebay. I figured I need to go into settings then icloud and delete my account, but is there anything else I should do? I've heard some people say I need to remove the sim card, but then wouldn't it sell for less? I've already activated the 5s and when I try to call from the 4s I get a messages stating the account could not be validated. So do I really need to remove the sim card?
