it's within my phone's protection case, so i do have it right now. Also, anecdote, a random stranger on a bus was switching sim cards, and asked me if I have the tool, which I indeed I had!

I open so many tablets and shit at my work I have preferences on form. Samsung has the worst ones.

I found a pencil holder I had in the 1990s. It has these little drawers for erasers and stuff. I was like "oh cool, I can fill the rest of these with my SD cards and USB sticks."

So, while cleaning my desk looking for those, I found one of these. I was like "I'm pretty sure I had at least 2 of these." ...I found three.

How about just messy? Occasionally I still find them laying around

[–] Avg@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I keep it in my keychain, save the back up ones in the junk drawer.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 6 points 1 week ago

OP!!! RIGHT HERE!!!! I FOUND THE RESPONSIBLE AF PERSON!!!!

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Just keep it in the box the phone came in with all the warranty documentation. I've never lost one of these

I have one in my wallet - they are quite handy for cleaning lint out when the phone charging port inevitably collects enough to be annoying.

I keep one on my key ring, never know when you need to pop in a burner sim.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

If you’re using a burner SIM in your regular phone then it’s not really a burner SIM.

Fine if you’re just using it to hide your phone number companies, but if you’re hiding from the authorities then it’s the devices IMEI which is going to sell you out I’m afraid.

[–] wazzupdog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

IMEI's can be changed. (Which is highly illegal in many jurisdictions) It's not really worth the effort, I use it for when i need a new phone number for something and don't want it immediately tied to me commercially. If hiding from the authorities, don't use unencrypted comms.

I need them for work so I got a fancy keychain one

[–] tomatoely@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Question: Is using paperclips a worse alternative? I've found them useful for those sim pinholes but im not entirely sure if its good practice

[–] crusty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

Paperclips are just fine, they're just not as ergonomic / easy to hold while pushing

I threw all of those away. I have paper clips, and those eject holes are intentionally designed to be the width of a bent paper clip.

Those things are just a less useful paper clip.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 6 points 1 week ago

They're easier to use, but a monotasker, so yea, gimme a paperclip

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 week ago

I have the ifixit screwdriver kit and one of the bits is a Sim card ejector. Does it count ?

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

[–] Naevermix@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I still have my first smartphone. It's from 2011 and the screen is undamaged.

I also still have the extra plugs for the in-ear headphones that came with it.

[–] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Yes, I keep them in the box.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have about 8 of those. I'm a fucking packrat

If you need any spares, let me know.

[–] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Like seven a drawer somewhere. I don't know where though

[–] Jeremyward@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I have three downstairs in the garage, now the real question is... Where in the garage tho.

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 6 points 1 week ago

I have one... somewhere. Probably in a tiny box, mixed in with my random cables

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

I still have like eight of those. I bought some smart devices a while ago that all had them for the reset hole, so I’m stocked up for life.

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

I have 3 lying around somewhere. Comes in handy every few years

You only need it when setting up a new phone. So once you put the card in, you put the tool back in the phone’s box and just stick that in a closet.

So I’m asking… how CAN you even misplace one of those?

I can confirm that this is false

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Oh I for sure still have at least 10. But finding them when I need them is a whole other story

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 5 points 1 week ago

I have one in my tech pouch

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

I have more than one. The key is the word somewhere.

I have one with a big duct tape flag/handle. Stays in the phone kit with spudgers, tiny screwdrivers, etc.
