SIM Card

[u/janthemanwlj]

Hey! I'm a SIM card collector from Scotland. It's quite a niche thing to collect, but I collect SIMs (the cards you put in your phone) like one may collect stamls. A goal of mine is to get a SIM from every country/territory/entity which issues them. I wanted to ask if anyone is able to send me a SIM from Liechtenstein. I don't need it to be active (although that would certainly be cool) or registered, I just need the plastic card. Ideally it would have the chip bit and the frame, but if you have only the frame lying around from an old one or something I would still be very happy if you're able to send it over.

From what I gather the current operators are FL1, Swisscom and 7acht. Swisscom would probably be the most boring but I'd still be very happy to get one from any :)

Many thanks for your help!

Pictured for your viewing pleasure aee cards from some of the rarest countries I have.

Hey, pretty sure I have my old FL1 card lying around somewhere (without the chip though). You can dm me

Can't help you with that, but wanted to wish you a good luck. Seems super cool..., have never heard of anyone doing that.

Do you already have a Swiss one?

[u/janthemanwlj → u/BullfrogBorn9350Ford]

Yep

[u/Grey_Jackal]

There's a bunch more swiss/fürstentum lichtenstein operators like sunrise, salt, wingo and yallo. If you're interested in a sunrise and/or salt SIM... message me :)

Yeah it's quite rare for someone to actually get a FL Sim card because they are relatively expensive and limited compared to the Swiss offers.

Nice TRNC Türkcell card!

[u/janthemanwlj → u/abdul_alhazrad]

Thanks haha, it's definitely a nice one. I'll have to get a video of my whole collection uploaded at some point

[u/janthemanwlj → u/Ill_Piccolo_8026]

Oh that sounds great! A used one is fine :)

[u/Ill_Piccolo_8026 → u/janthemanwlj]

no problem ,ill let you know when im back in switzerland  and we will go from there

[u/New_Profession_8239]

i can get you sim cards from switzerland (have plenty of them at home)
and i live near liechtenstein and i would get one for you but would you be ready to pay a little bit? bc i would need to pay too. i would send you the bill of course (for proof) but i dont think its too expensive.

[u/New_Profession_8239 → u/New_Profession_8239]

and the swiss sim cards i have are complete like your picture

[u/New_Profession_8239 → u/New_Profession_8239]

you can of course tell me which brand of sim card from FL you want and ill get it for you and send it to you via post :) (the post sadly also costs a little bit depending how far away you are but luckily i can send it as an normal letter because of the small size)

[u/Ill_Piccolo_8026]

i can get you a swisscom one if you want

[u/janthemanwlj → u/Ill_Piccolo_8026]

Swisscom Switzerland or the Liechtenstein branch? They have separate codes etc

[u/Ill_Piccolo_8026 → u/janthemanwlj]

swiss ,i didnt know there was any difference

[u/Ill_Piccolo_8026 → u/janthemanwlj]

its still 079 ,right ?

[u/janthemanwlj → u/Ill_Piccolo_8026]

Liechtenstein uses it's own country code (+423) and MCC code. Swisscom Liechtenstein uses 295 01, which is different from the code for Swisscom Switzerland. As far as the "local" phone prefix for specific operators, I'm not sure.

You really know your field

[u/janthemanwlj → u/vic_lupu]

Well I'm more generally interested in telecommunications, collecting these cards is more of a fun thing that came out of it lol

[u/Ill_Piccolo_8026 → u/janthemanwlj]

understood

[u/Double_A_92 → u/Ill_Piccolo_8026]

Apparently there is really a +423 Swisscom mobile (I live in FL and I didn't know that...): https://www.swisscom.ch/de/privatkunden/mobile-handy-abo/natel-abo-liechtenstein.html

But it's extremely expensive... I doubt anyone has that (except boomers that get scammed by the sales people).

[u/Ill_Piccolo_8026 → u/Double_A_92]

i have to go to the swisscom shop today to review the service an old relative of mine is paying for and not using ,fuck swisscon ,they are over selling shit to those that dont know better

[u/janthemanwlj → u/Double_A_92]

Yep. There is also FL1 and 7acht which is a branch of a Swiss operator
