Problems with sim-card

[Joachim Ott-2]

Look at http://www.1qaz.de/loose-sim.jpg - I can move the sim-card
back and forth in the slot (about 0,25 mm?). On the other side of the
sim I've marked the area where the upper two contacts go, they are
very close to a border. Could this be the reason that I get this "GSM
not available, try again in 5s" from ophonekitd rather frequently
during the last weeks? Currently I do shutdown, remove the battery and
move the card, back or forth, boot again and wait for the simauth
dialog, sometimes I have to repeat this. My other sim from T-Mobile
looks different, it has no borders at that places, but I need that sim
in another phone.

As far as I know, only the inner tree lines of contacts are used.
But I was not able to fact check that theory.

Ok, I'm sure now. Assembly guides for dual sim adapters I found on the net
need you to cut the card down to size so that only the six inner contacts
remain. So they are the only one that are needed.
I did not find the specs via wikipedia, but the info is conclusive enough
I would say. *g*
