hi all
i am new too this forum, but i'm really happy that i find some thing that i need a lot.
as far as i know, Sim cards has a memory that stores phone numbers and SMSs! (i know a lot! )
so it is possible to store any kind of data in it! even programs! am i right?
as i had heard, there are programs that sits in Sim card and does lots of things!
now here is the question:
is there any programs that we can manage Sim card data? or even let us see all the data in Sim card.
how can we install programs in Sim card?
how can we write programs for it?
i hope i can find some information here
thnx all
If our Sim Card can store program then it must have a memory as big as USB . And all SD will be unable ...
sim card editing
try simemulator @http://www.sorobangeeks.com/software
i heard on the net that mobilEdit can do much better though i haven't tried it.
before using simemulator, read all the FAQs first!
sim card editing
sorry to threadjack my own post above.
here's another one i found for sim editing. but again i haven't tried it yet.
Dekart SIM Manager 2.5
look different!
thnx all, but let me explain some more
i am not looking for normal programs, as i am not going to do normal tasks like copying contacts!
Sim card has a memory, so we may be able to store any kind of data in it! so we may be able to store a light program in it! so we can do a lot!
as i had heard, there are programs that can be stored on Sim card make your phone a portable microphone, but not for you it sends all the voices to some where that the program wants!!
no matter what i told may be some how wrong, but i think it is possible to work on it
it is simple! we want to store data in Sim card, but this data is acceptable for mobile operators to do some thing we want!
if i want to tell in another way, i should say, how can i write a program and store it in Sim?!!
Do you know how "much" memoy has usual, world-wide-used SIM card?
Most of them has 32-128 KB (kilobytes)! Now, compare that to usual phone memory + storage cards memory that almost any device have.
Most of (usual) SIM cards can store up to 250 contacts entries and some sms messages. That is all what can be stored on max. 128 KB of memory.
Just a small reminder: 128 KB of RAM was "much" when I bought my first computer. It was ZX Spectrum II and the year was 1986 (or 1988, I cant remember).Only then 128 KB seemed to be impossible to fill with program code ( wonderfull assembler and disassembler days). Today, even phones have more than 128 MB of memory (1.000 X more then 128 KB).
Now, correct me if I´am wrong, but I am speaking about those SIM cards I know about. Maybe there is some new sort of it with extended memory capacity (but I didnt heard for it).
as you said, 128KB is enough to run an OS! or at least it is possible to run a program with it.
so why it isn't possible to store a small program on Sim card?
if we expect every upcodes and operands 2 Bytes, it is still enough memory to run a program that sends all the voices to a specified phone number.
again let me ask in another way:
is there any standard language that mobile operators understand?
when we turn on our mobile, some thing must be initialized, what are those? how can we edit those settings?
we may need to edit the part that is initialized every time
i think it is possible, but still don't know what to do!
nothing else?!!
can't anyone help?!
i though i can find many useful ideas! i have lots of other questions.
i will be glad if someone can help me, even share ideas like this. i have similar ideas.
you can call me here!
[email protected]
again thnx all
why don't you give us an example of a program that YOU would like to store on the sim. Tell me what you can get with 128KB? Even Pocket RAR is 326KB, a simple screencapture program is 170KB, what do you expect to do with only 128KB (if you even have one). And is it worth it?
Why would you even want to **** around with your sim card?
You screw it up and you have to pay for a new one from your provider.
MicroSDHC cards are retarded cheap. Why run the risk.
Maybe he wants to hide his programs inside SIM card. But its true that the SIM card has no enough amount of memory to store even small app. Besides, if you could write this program to SIM, who may be able to run it? Only your program again, because standard GSM-driver does not run any program from SIM card.
thanks for answers.
i am not going to write a program with a graphical interface witch can handle many tasks!
i want to have something like virus!! or a Trojan horse that can copy calls to another phone line too!
this is only an example,
i am not going to install regular programs on my sim, i want some thing much more strange!
we know that when we turn our phone on, something must be initialized, what are those? the default things that our operator wants, like show our number too every one, enable call waiting and ....
and it must be stored in sim memory, which is not the same as contact or sms memory. am i right?
so, first we can change those settings, i think we can find some extra feathers that is disable in many Sim cards.
then it may be possible to have a extra segment that we can store our program there.
the program should not be written in c# or java because we don't have the framework for them, or even C++.
maybe it has an operating system in it and we need too change some constants! or anything else.
first we need some low lvl information from Sim cards. then we can find what should we do.
i have a friend that can help a little,
i will send an example soon to see Simcard programing can be good
Forget it. You have to understand, that even if you write your "program" to SIM card, nobody then can execute it. Because nothing is executed from SIM card while it is initialized.
AND If I got it right, the use your planning is not legit. Since I sincerely doubt you're going to spy on yourself, you maybe want it to spy on someone? Don't know in the US (but I can easily imagine), here in Italy it would be considered a severe violation of a person's privacy, and you would be jailed for that... so, just trust more people around you and live your life peacefully

i am not going to spy anyone, as any changes to those settings must be visible for mobile operators. and as you said, "you would be jailed for that"
but if government ask to do some thing like this, no one can do anything!
i had heard that England government had reached to something like that!!
you receive an SMS and when you read it, something is installed on your Sim and all the voices will be send somewhere else too!
i just want to know what is happening in my sim card! the first thing i asked was how can i see every thing in my sim card?!

the program should be written in GSM language! or some thing that every mobile phone or mobile operator understand.

i would be glad if it can not true.
but i think it is possible, and its too easy!
do you agree that settings like enabling call waiting, diverting, SMS service number, and ... should be saved in Sim memory?
all the data must be send somewhere
data can be send to 2 service centers
or to a service center that copies data to somewhere
or any other ways.
it is possible!
which part is wrong?
if it had not been happened yet, it can be done soon!!
i think it is good to search a little on it, there must be something interesting
at least we can be sure it is not possible!

Again, you should differ stored data and programs. Data is never executed, it is read and written by the external programs (such as GSM driver). Program which can be executed, is situated outside SIM card, otherwise it will not execute, because nothing executes programs from SIM. I think such kind of programs does not exist at all.
GOOD!
thnx a lot.
can you please explain some more about GSM driver?
i think at least we can change data on Sim card and make the GSM driver work different. am i right?

hey guyz..
the scene is set, dont want to tell anyone where it happened by whom and ofcourse who got robbed but here's the story.
User had an o2 Xda II, customized rom, with IIWPO Theft Control installed in the rom, so that means hard reset wont wipe IIWPO out of the pda.
Robber comes puts a knife on the user's throat takes away cash and the pda, user gives it happily thinking she will get a msg on the other number with all the info of sim changed.
4 days pass by no info come's and the pda is sold or forwarded to someone else or whatever. END OF STORY.
now how did the user not get a msg of the new sim info.
1. SIM WAS NOT CHANGED.
2.SIM CHANGED BUT NO CREDIT IN NEW SIM.
3.BATTERY TAKEN OUT PDA TOTALLY DEAD TILL NEW CUSTOMER GETS IT. ETC ETC.
WHAT CAN BE DONE.
ok guyz this is the part where i would like allll the geeks & gurus to put in some effort, i know it will be tough but i have a feeling its not impossible.
CAN UR,LL UPDATE IIWPO IN SUCH A WAY THAT WHEN WE ARE FEEDING OUR NAME AND OTHER INFO IT WILL ALSO ASK FOR A SECURITY PASS TO BE PUT IN, SO THAT WHEN ROBBER CHANGES SIM THE IIWPO RECOGNIZES THE SIM CHANGE AND LOCK'S THE PDA AND ASKS FOR THE PASS, AND WONT UNLOCK TILL PASS PROVIDED, REBOOT WONT HELP.
Now ofcourse the robber can be anyone, so the robber plans to hard reset and still the device would recognize the sim change and ask for pass now so annoyed he plans to flash the device and what happens after that all of us know.
To prevent this THE GEEKS & GURUS can just build a small security patch that can wont allow flashing of device till pass given, it would work like this, we flash our device for the first time install IIWPO and the NEW SECURITY PATCH (with passwords) device is robbed, robber changes the sim gets pass error he gets pissed and tries to flash the device and that clever software would not flash the device till pass provided, this would prove that all the efforts the robber made to steal the device are gone to waste.
And ofcourse someday someone might put in a sim with credit and we would get the info.
NOT FORGETTING CHARLES WARNER FOR THE GREAT WORK HE'S PUT IN FOR ALL xda-developers.com USERS and also giving the IIWPO to us for free, REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR WORK SIR !! THANKS ALOT.
no one interested in being secured ?
I think the IIWPO idea can definitely be improved, BUT: It will never protect you from being robbed.
The true advantage of IIWPO in its currect form is to be able to get track of the 'new' owner of a nicked device. In the end: someone will put in his/her sim and then its just bing!
All other enhancements will just make sure noone else gets to use the device. Sure an improvement, but less important to me: I just want my device back and get the thief nailed!
Interesting...
But I think you have misunderstood how IIWPO works.
IIWPO does not detect if someone changes the SIM card. It ONLY acts when the someone changes the Owner Information (Start/Settings/Owner Information), so no matter what SIM card there is, as long as it has credit it will send an SMS to the recipient's phone number. That's the beauty of it, that it silently sends the SMS with the 'new' users data so there is a slight chance of knowing who's the 'new' owner.
But! This is by no means fool proof. It's what they call 'protection by obscurity', so if a savvy robber knows how to reflash the device it will get away with it no matter what features we can integrate to IIWPO.
That's one of the cool new features of WM5.0, that we can at least know for sure that our data is SAFE by wiping the info remotely if necessary.
Just a thought.

ofcourse this is why we all love IIWPO cause it sends use a msg, and ofcourse even if someone was to modify IIWPO iam sure that this feature would'nt wipe out.god forbid you get robbed u get a msg frm the cell but you for some reason cant track the person or some other c#@p...and the pda is gone....WHY caz it only sends sms it does not block the screen....if you were to have a feature which would jam or freeze the pda on change of the name then the pda would be useless to the robber nothing much he could do....unless he knows how to flash it...now comes a part where we can do something about not flashin the device with out a pass....this would totally make the pda useless to the robber and would also keep sendin us msgs and secondly the robber maybe maybe next time might think twice before robbing a pda and might go for something else
How about a device that would be installed internally to the xda and if it is stolen and a different sim/different user info is entered and the person makes a call it fires a large captive bolt which nails the phone to the head of the user, it then adjusts itself to full volume with all lights flashing and announcing "This is a stolen phone...call an ambulance...or hearse".,

I perfectly understands the IIWPO functionality. It was me who put together IIWPO for other devices than Wallaby.
Let me explain how my earlier post should be interpreted: Sure it is triggered by the change of owner info, but most thieves (or buyer from a stolen device) will put in another SIM (simply because they dont have the pin of the stolen sim or because the stolen sim is blocked by the network). Thus: As soon as the 'new' owner puts in a SIM AND he/she has changed the owner info (and every one does that!) the sms is sent.
Also: Eventually a thief might flash a device, but ost certain a thief (or buyer) starts it up to test whether its working or not.
Imho IIWPO can be improved, but practically chances of getting a device back will not significantly improve

i have my girlfriend's number as my report number.. what if were together and we got robbed both our phones are taken away.. a multiple report number would be a good addition to IIWPO
The changes I'd like to see done to IIWPO include:
a) not using "IIWPO" or 'xda-developer' in the registry (user customisable registry key)
b) user customisable executable file name (IIWPO_startup is like a dead giveaway)
c) not storing owner name & number 'in the clear' (a simple XOR to hide it would be just as effective)
d) a hash of the entire owner info page (not just the last name) so unit will resend an SMS if any info changes
e) a new sms is resent after a preset time (eg: every 24/48/120 hours for example), regardless if owner info has changed or not.
I also like the idea of multiple number reporting.
a,b,c) Considering the concept of IIWPO is 'security by obscurity'; it will help if one could hide it more effectively. (no one is going to bother too much about bluetooth.exe or msn_update.exe in the startup folder for example...)
d) Most people get their name right; then meddle with the other bits of information as time goes on - it'd be good to get 'updated' info as and when it happens.
e) Consider it a 'keep alive' thing, so we'll know the unit is still in use, and can continue to keep in touch with the new owner =) I've no moral issues burning up the credit of someone who refuses to give me back my property either. =P
If nothing else, we'd be able to know when the unit gets reflashed, and can quiety say goodbye to our unit after not hearing from it for a while... =(
Is IIWPO still being maintained by the author, or anyone on xda-developers? If not, is the source available? I might be interested in following up on it (time permitting...)
Edited to add: A really vicious version of the IIWPO would possibly send out:
a) phone numbers stored in the SIM card
b) phone numbers stored in the addres book
c) recently dialed/received phone numbers
d) recently sent/received SMS phone numbers
Not all in one go; but in bits and pieces (eg: every 20 startups; send phone numbers of last 5 SMSs sent/received + last 5 phone calls dialed/received).
That would allow us get in touch with his friends and would possibly aid in getting the unit returned (use your imagination... probably easier to get them tell you who/where he is, rather than to get them convince him to return it...)
Probably this would add too much bloat to IIWPO; but hey, could be useful... =P
WOW, ok.
First of all - I registered 2 this forum less than a week ago,
and great job for doing these kind of things.
second - where can i d/l the prog?
and last another idea: when some1 steals ur pda he's usually gonna sell it over. meaning he made his money.
HOWEVER - if even after a HR after changing sims (maybe even without) there will be a picture message saying:
"You cannot use this phone"
"This phone can only be used by me - *name*"
"However, Im willing to buy this phone back from you. call +......"
there wont be a place on the screen to enter the code.
however - the phones' user knows he can type his password and unlock the phone. you might even integrate a handwriting recognition programm for signature or somthing but that will be super hard, i know.
another option is that when seeing this message user has to touch 4 corners of the screen with the stylus in a specific order, then he'll have a please enter password screen.
any comment?
is it do-able?

this will only work ONE time within a 6 month period as they only allow you to change it once within 6 months. There customer services is utter crap. Just so you know as now you have changed yours you wont be able to change it again for another 6 months no matter what.

It seems like there is a choice: Download Tomtom traffic / speed camera and NEVER flash your device again, OR forget about Tomtom traffic / speed camera and FLASH happily forever.
I'm still not decided! I woulda thought there was a way by now to keep your device code after flashing a new ROM but the silence out there seems to suggest that there isn't!
Damnnnnnnnnnnn it!!!!
My device code just changed over night for no reason at all! Now Tomtom thinks I have a new phone and doesn't let me use the speed camera and John Cleese voice I paid for twice!!!
It'd be cheaper just to get a speeding ticket!!!!

Just run the installation program from the pc and it will install automatically
the maps need to be in the storage card as they are, for example if you have a uk & ireland map that must be in \storage card\uk and ireland map( or whatever the map is called ) folder.
The software for tomtom should install onto the device. Then simply run it and then activate your maps
You can also "cut" the Navigator folder out of "My programs" directory on the hermes and paste on SD card. You just have to send a shortcut to your "Start Menu" folder in the windows directory. Did this with Resco explorer 2007, Works flawlessly. A little bit extra time to start up but not enough to worry about.
Cheers...
Can someone explain how it is that I don't need any activation code for the maps on my Tomtom?
My Tomtom came on a memory card when I bought the phone on ebay. Once installed on the phone all the maps work fine (no activation needed), even if I flash the ROM and thus change the device code.
When the device code changes, the only thing that goes is Tomtom plus services, like downloaded stuff and Traffic.
Explanation anyone?

As per my knowledge, ther is two types of "multi sim"
1- the one that holds both of your sims into some smal circut, and there is a third sim connected to the circut, which you insert into the back of your phone, and keep the rest of the circut into the cover back.
2- there is another type, that you cut a small peice of your two sims , and re-attach it to a new SIM, and insert it into the sim hole into the phone.
the difference is if have a place in the back of your phone for the first type, use it, cause it keeps your sims in a good condition and can be used in any other phone, if you don't have a space for the circut, so you have to use the second type, but you can't use any of the sims separte, because you have already cut it.
now, the important part of that all, that you can't use both SIMs at the same time, none of the above solutions can make you online on both SIMs, because your phone of course dosn't support it, the phone is disigned to deal with one network only at the time, the above solutions only makes you to switch your phone off, then re-switch it on, to find your self on the other SIM, and you can do re-switching your phone to back to the first SIM.
hope that I was clear, and hope there is a program some day that can deal with both SIMs at the same time

no,unfortunately and it seems so strang than nobody is interested in it
I did sent an email and I did get a reply (in dutch )
Apparently the dual sim sollution should be usable in our universal, u cut your sim card to pieces (cut the chip out) and put it in a specialy made simcard, that fits exactly in the universal like a normal simcard would.
In a special sim menu u can choose which one of the sim cards is used, BUT they cant be used at the same time if u wanted that u have to buy a dual dim phone, which probably has two radio circuits....

thank for your replay, but unfortunatly if it has a menu ,it's certainly not compatible for jasjar ,just tested this kind of dualsim.
Hi,
there is a third type of multi sim, it is the SuperSIM 16 in 1.
Phisically it is just like a normal SIM, but it can contain up to 16 virtual SIMs.
see: http://www.duosim.com
You need a special SIM and a hardware reader/writer (to be connected to a usb port), then you read your original SIMs and copy them to the SuperSIM with the progam delivered in the kit.
I bought one, I can read my SIMs, but when I try to write to the SuperSIM I receive an error (write failed!)
I wrote many times to the seller via web, e-mail and normal mail, but I had no reply, so I wasted my money and I still need a dual SIM.
I don't like to cut my SIMs, I previously bought a "type 1" (as described by mehegazy) but I cannot close the SIM holder on my Qtek9000.
Bye.

Hi,
there is a third type of multi sim, it is the SuperSIM 16 in 1.

Hi,
I had exactly the same problem like you, and I started searching about.
I figured out with a lot of testing, that using the program "SuperSIM LY-600" from the link "http://www.duosim.com/download.html", totaly solved my problem, so now I have the supersim 16in1 loaded in my qtek9000 using up to 5 different numbers.
I hope that helps you.
Beware using the 16 in one sim cloning system.
Cloning your sim is in contradiction of you terms with the service provider, and can be illegal in some countries. IN brief: If yer caught yer busted!
Oh dont bother if you have a Vodafone UK sim as they use a Triple DES encryption on the card that simply will take you a year to break before you can brute force the IMSI and KA. Oh and yes I have played with this in the past.

Hi Jolas,
I used LY-600 as you suggested and now I can write to the supersim - GREAT!
Thank you very much.
But how can I switch between my two numbers on my Qtek900?
Is there a new menu? Where?
Switching the phone on and off doesn't switch the numbers.
Thank you again.

I'm happy this hepled you.
In the programs menu, you will find a shortcut names "STK". Just use it and you will find the menu 'switch number'.
In case you don't have the STK service, then probably you'll need a new ROM which is suppotring this service.

Hi Jolas,
you are very kind.
I cannot find an icon STK under Programs folder, maybe my ROM does not support this service, as you said.
I tested the supersim on other cellphone and it works, so the SIM seems to be OK.
I'll will further investigate.
Anyway thanks a lot !
Best wishes.

Does the original sim card still works after the cloning?

Yes, it does, but be aware you can't use the same time the same number through two different sims because your phone provider is going to lock your sim .
Hello.
I have just got my first cell: the tmobile dash. I have done some research and am under the impression that it is acually the branded term for the Excalibur. Alright; so it started when I wanted to throw in a microsd card. I looked around for the biggest one I could find (8gig) but have heard a few rather conflicting blurbs about the high end microsd cards in this paticular cell. Simple question: will it support it? I have also heard that you have to have windows mobile 6 or some sort of generic not-branded ROM in order to use them. I do have windows mobile 6... so do I still need to do the steps outlined in the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327757
? If so its not a problem, but I dont want to go though all of that just to get back to square one with the thing. Another thing though: I custom build all my pc's and format all my laptops first thing so I dont have to put up with all the crap companies like to put on my stuff. So is this a similer thing? If it is that would be a reasen to go though with it in itself.
So my second question would be, are there any benifites to 'formatting' my cell with this unbranded ROM other then being able to upgrade the OS? Im certanly not computer illierarate, but as far as cells go I am completly lost. What programs will I need to reinstall, and which ones will be preinstalled?
And finally, will any of this conflict with the service I get from tmobile? Like I said I have no idea how cells work and the protocols and subscriptions, so I wouldnt know. Would it for example screw with the internet service I would like to subscribe to?
Oh, one more thing, WHERE IS NOTEPAD?? I was trying to jott somthing down on my phone today, but could not find any sort of notepad type application. I found Word, but I cant create documents with it (only edit I guess)...
Thanks for your time
Well, on WM5, my Excalibur supported 2gb micro sd cards. On WM6, it happily supports a 4gb micro sdhc card. I have read that it does support higher capacity than that also.
In terms of formatting, I think I could only format the SDHC card FAT32. The non HC card could be formatted FAT or FAT32.
The FAT format can make a difference to some apps working or otherwise, I have heard, but none that I have used have had a problem.
Cheers.
One other point, the only reason I went from WM5 to WM6 was to enable SDHC. I can have Route 66 (with 3 maps) and plenty of music on a 4gb card. I just found 2gb a bit limiting.
Just wish I could sort out the re-booting loop issue with the sdhc card installed!
Good luck.
I have a original HTC branded Excalibur, and it supports my 8GB micro SDHC card.
As long as you change the rom from the T-mobile branded to the Rogers or the HTC rom you will be just fine. I have a 6gb SDHC card on the latest HTC rom.
Im downloading the "NEW HTC ROM!! HTC_WWE_1.33.422.1_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_Ship.exe" right now. I guess this will make it faster and have better signal strength. Does this replace windows mobile? Can I still develop for the compact framework, and use other microsoft programs on it?
Also, do I still have to go though the unlock steps in the aforementiond thread?
So doing this will not affect my plan with tmobile at all and I can still do things like call people and send text messages?
Thanks for all of your help.

Yes it should run faster, slightly more stable and will enable SDHC cards. It is Windows Mobile 6, the same thing you can install from T-mobile, only more updated with better features and no t-mobile branding (logos etc...)

Yes. If you have problems with the install I'd read the thread for solutions, every problem has a solution and they are all on that thread.

Yep. You'll need to reconfigure you're MMS, internet and text settings when complete. You can get these settings with a search on this board or google. A google search should link you to the t-mobile settings tool on their website for just such settings.
It will be a lot of time consuming work to get your rom changed, all the programs reinstalled, and the phone tweaked just the way you like it, but I guarantee you that ultimately you'll be extremely pleased you did.
OK. I ran the unlocker, then the bat file, and the screen went black. But now it cannot connect to the phone. the screen is still black and it is connected to the USB cabel, but I cant load active sync and the ROM updater is giving me an error 260 connection problem... Im searching the forums now franticly, but it would be nice if sombody can post a quick fix right here.
thanks
Ok. I removed the battery, restarted and tried again. Now its all setup and configured and still calls people
Now; are there any links to a place where there is a list of good programs to put on my phone? And will an 8gig microSD card work on it?
Thanks

Did you simply restart your phone or did you actually get the rom successfully installed?
Lol, after I restarted I tried again. This time it came up with a white screen, and I manually ran some program in the root of the phone directory. Then I was able to install the ROM just fine.
I like the new colors, and it definitly is faster and less cluttered then before. There are some minor things like being able to scroll with the buttons on the side, and a few other nice things that make it feel alot easier to use then before. My question is why companies like tmobile dont make it easy to do this kind of stuff....
Another question is where did these roms come from? Did they come right from the manufacturer, or were they leaked?
8gb works fine for me. Curious on 16gb now..........
hi giuys like the header says i would like to sim lock my phone... what i mean is that i want my phone to work only with my sim... i've tried to search on the forum for it but with no results... can you help me???
thanks in advance
hi. first of all, if your phone is sim locked, it not gonna work only with your sim but with every sim card of your network ( vodafone in your case); secondly i've never heard about something or somehow to sim-lock again a phone!!! ask Olinex, may be he knows!!! good luck
i didn't mean the general sim-lock like the branded phones have i mean maybe a lite app that runs when you start the phone and blocks you from using the phone if there is no sim or it isn'tt the sim you've previously registered...
aahhh okayyyy, you mean something like the nokia's phone locking if the sim is changed! i've understood now! i was looking for it me too but i've never found a bit! we'll stay in touch, if i find something intresting i'll tell you ciao

I got what you need but it is shareware [you have to pay for it].
It is for Wm 5 but i think that it will support higher too.
Did you search on google?
Here is the link: [click].
I searched for the "cra**ed" version but all links are dead or fake.
hi thanks for the reply guys
if you can use password protection why bother such thing!!!
okay, password may be broken by software, but same thing for any kind of security also.
anyway, a program can be written such as:
small memory residence program which will check the sim nr. in every few min.
if not matched, will enter into Airport Mode + screen lock
keep checking every few min.
if it matched the nr. stored before (encrypted) will unlock airport mode+screen
or the program will only trigger at the stratup or sim change
