No matter if your card is active or inactive, a SIM card reader and program can retrieve information from it. A SIM card reader can retrieve text messages, contacts and call logs--it even retrieves stored and deleted SMS messages. A SIM card reader is useful when you want to store information from the card on your computer.
Install the SIM card reader software onto your computer from either the website, the disk you received, or an e-mail you received from the manufacturer.
