This is awesome! Free laundry from now on!
This is brilliant.
Absolutely.
What is it about the face in that blue cover image that makes me think of the Mona Lisa?
Any examples of what can be done with a SIM card reader ? I mean, besides copying the address book ?
I bought my kit a few weeks ago, but just now got the time to put it together. It was a fun little project. I need to pick up a serial-to-usb adapter, but so far it works great. I can't wait to see what the next issue of Citizen Engineer is about.

With this kit you can read/write SMS and phonebook data to the SIM card. Ostensibly, with the right software, you could attempt to clone a SIM card, but that's a little more involved.
