Sim Card?

I recently bought a new sim card b/c I had a little voicemail box "icon" problem w/ the old one. When I put in the new one I noticed a few small things on the new one. I noticed that my phone was able to hold a signal longer and better than my old sim card. I also noticed that "411 & MORE" & "Voicemail" number was automatically put into the phonebook. So get I get better service and some new things along w/ that new sim card. So now I am wondering if you should or if it is recommened to change your sim card for a new one every once in a while. Does anyone have any ideas or comments? 🙂

When having problems w/ phone, reception, menu's really really weird things like sms ever 5 sec's or your phone turning itself on (not off, on) then I suggest checking the sim (trying it in diff phone, or try someone else sim in your phone ) but I have had many people call in and the end problem was the sim, have seen where people have done 5 exchanges, before they tried diff sim, problem fixed

P.S new sims usualy have more memory and newer network settings

Ok. So since new sim cards have more memory and newer network settings is it recommend to change it every once in a while?

I've had a VoiceStream SIM since June of 2000 and it's a 32k card. The only weird thing it will do is in some phones it will show me as roaming since my original MCC/MNC was 310-20 and it's now 310-26 when the consolidated all the MNCs a year or so ago. Other than that I've not felt the need to get a new one. Also the older cards you can change the operator logo. On the new EONS SIMs mostly you cannot and it will show T-Mobile wherever you go.
