ACR SIM copier
Phonebook, SMS, PIN code, and PLMN copying

ACR SIM Copier is a special smart card reader customized for GSM operators. Many GSM operators face high churn rates i.e. subscribers switch telephone operators to enjoy a cheaper handset discount or lower subscription fee. Information inside user's old SIM card (e.g. phone-book and SMS files) is usually lost during the process of switching. Users have to re-enter the data again if they are still available.

ACR SIM Copier is a low cost standalone device that does the job of copying the phone-book and SMS files directly from on SIM card to another without PC connection. Because of its low cost, the GSM operator is able to equip every sales outlet with such a device to serve the mobile phone users efficiently.

   Features :

         - Standalone device - does not require PC connection
         - Phonebook, SMS, PIN code, and PLMN copying
