SIMs

SIMs are Subscriber Identity Modules, small electronic chips that store information for identifying and authenticating mobile devices on a cellular network. They enable users to make calls, send texts, and use mobile data.

Why it’s in the news: SIMs are in the news due to government directives to curb fraud, security concerns over malicious SIMs, and the rise of eSIM technology in the travel and mobile app sectors.
