SIM Cards

Telecom SIM cards manufactured to GSMA and ETSI standards. All form factors, all network technologies, with full personalization and secure provisioning services.

SIM Card Technology

The Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) is a secure microprocessor card that stores the subscriber's identity, authentication keys, and network parameters. It is the trust anchor for mobile network authentication, enabling voice, data, and messaging services across GSM, CDMA, LTE, and 5G networks.

Cardzgroup manufactures SIM cards with chips from leading semiconductor vendors, supporting all current and emerging network technologies. Our personalization bureau handles IMSI provisioning, Ki generation, and OTA platform integration.

Form Factors

All standard SIM form factors, plus multi-cut carriers that support 2FF, 3FF, and 4FF from a single card.

2FF (Mini SIM)

25 x 15 mm

Standard SIM form factor used in older mobile devices, M2M modules, and industrial IoT equipment. Still widely deployed in legacy systems and developing markets.

3FF (Micro SIM)

15 x 12 mm

Compact SIM form factor adopted by smartphones from 2010 onward. Commonly used in tablets, GPS devices, and connected consumer electronics.

4FF (Nano SIM)

12.3 x 8.8 mm

The smallest removable SIM form factor, standard in all modern smartphones and tablets. Minimal plastic carrier with maximum chip area for enhanced functionality.

3-in-1 Multi-Cut SIM Carrier

Our standard SIM carrier is a credit-card-sized (1FF) plug-in card with pre-cut breakout points for 2FF, 3FF, and 4FF extraction. A single SKU supports all device types, simplifying inventory and logistics for telecom operators.
