My kit:
I generally prefer the clear toothpick - easier to hold, came with a designer cupcake once (and I keep the flag on it because it's otherwise easy to lose a clear toothpick), generally better if the button is deeply recessed.
The paperclip phone tool is kept on the keychain between the USB micro card reader and the wallet sized SD card holder
"Looks like you lost your sim tray ejector"
Raz keeps track of mine
I have the whole box. Because you know, it might be needed sometime :P
Wrong topic bud. We are talking sim card release pins here. NOT the official cisco reset tool.
I need them for work so I got a fancy keychain one
Question: Is using paperclips a worse alternative? I've found them useful for those sim pinholes but im not entirely sure if its good practice
It’s just a piece of metal that you use to push in another piece of metal, the same as the sim tool. They don’t cause any damage and are fine to use.
Paperclips are just fine, they're just not as ergonomic / easy to hold while pushing
I have like four or five of these.
it's within my phone's protection case, so i do have it right now. Also, anecdote, a random stranger on a bus was switching sim cards, and asked me if I have the tool, which I indeed I had!
Yes, in my drawer of miscellaneous tiny things, next to pens, tiny screwdrivers, and a few old microsd cards.
Just keep it in the box the phone came in with all the warranty documentation. I've never lost one of these
or a hoarder
I keep one in my wallet along with a safety pin, hairpin, hair tie, and a twist key from an old fashioned roll top anchovy tin.
Any one of these things have come in handy a surprising number of times.
I have one in my wallet - just in case someone wants to steal my phone and I somehow have time to remove my SIM and SD before they take it.. optimistic I know
Yes, I keep them in the box.
I have the ifixit screwdriver kit and one of the bits is a Sim card ejector. Does it count ?
I found a pencil holder I had in the 1990s. It has these little drawers for erasers and stuff. I was like "oh cool, I can fill the rest of these with my SD cards and USB sticks."
So, while cleaning my desk looking for those, I found one of these. I was like "I'm pretty sure I had at least 2 of these." ...I found three.
Oh I for sure still have at least 10. But finding them when I need them is a whole other story
tied it around my keychain because SIMs are still much more handy than esim. Phone service where I live charge a fuck ton of money everytime you re register with the QR.
I have one in my wallet and one on my keychain.
Yeah. I have a Nintendo DS game box (still with the original game) where I keep such tiny things. Including various SD card adapters.
Like seven a drawer somewhere. I don't know where though
I have three downstairs in the garage, now the real question is... Where in the garage tho.
I have more than one. The key is the word somewhere.
I still have like eight of those. I bought some smart devices a while ago that all had them for the reset hole, so I’m stocked up for life.
I still have my first smartphone. It's from 2011 and the screen is undamaged.
I also still have the extra plugs for the in-ear headphones that came with it.
ok sorry, right this way sir ==>
I can confirm that this is false
on my keychain with a set of handcuff keys and some earplugs lol
You sound fun.
A paperclip works fine.
I bought a bag of 20, stash them all over the place.
I am the distributor of cell phones where I work. I have a box of these. They’re also useful to reset UniFi and other networking equipment.
I have two, and I know exactly where they are. If GPS were more accurate, I could give you the GPS coordinates for each of them.
I still have the box for my phone with the SIM remover still in it lol
Multiple ones.
