SIMs

SIMs (Subscriber Identity Modules) are small electronic chips or embedded software in devices that store subscriber information to authenticate users on mobile networks. They enable cellular connectivity for making calls, sending texts, and using data.

Why it’s in the news: SIMs are in the news due to regulatory actions to curb fraud, security concerns over malicious SIMs, and the rise of eSIM technology in travel and mobile services.
