SIM Card.
Cell phone and mobile devices use SIM cards. The small cards store information such as telephone numbers, phone numbers dialed, text messages received and sent. Deleting information on a SIM card is done through a SIM card reader. The portable reader device allows a computer to read files and folders stored on a SIM card. Removing information on a SIM card will remove the information permanently. Deleted messages or numbers will no longer be accessible on a cell phone or mobile device.
