Dear Sirs, I am a FOSS enthusiast. Recently, I have run into a problem. Although it is a long-standing problem, this is a special case of the issue. I placed the queries on Debian and Knoppix forums with sufficient information. The issue is this: How to back up data of SIM Card with its Reader? Links: (1) http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=128156 (2) http://knoppix.net/forum/threads/31824-How-to-back-up-SIM-Card-data-with-its-Reader?p=133623#post133623 Postby bkpsusmitaa » 2016-04-29 09:13 I recently bought a Master Gold USB 2.0 SIM Card Reader [model MG-008], having compatibility with Doze XP, 2000, Me, Vista and OSX 10.2+. I also have the mini-CD which has the software that allows Doze users to access the SIM card. I lament because with a dozing system like Doze people can access everything via applications, while Linux, with so much power, can't. I want to back up my SIM card data. Are you aware of a package that can help me do this and more? Symbian and Android can do it, so therefore can Linux. I am sure my more able compatriots would be able to do it. Eager to hear from you, leaders!
