The SIM Card
It was not that many years ago that most Americans had never even heard of a SIM card, much less used one! The GSM mobile phone technology used in Europe has always required a SIM card. The iPhone also has one, but most users don’t even know how to access it. The iPhone micro-SIM card (top) is less than half the size of a normal SIM card. The newer iPhones use an even smaller nano SIM card.
