Absolutely not, lol; It's the opposite. I have a keychain one that I'm too lazy to remove. And it actually twists and gets caught in the holes on adjacent keys, so it's not like I never notice it!

I switch phone plans every few years, and I have no idea how esims work, so yes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 56 minutes ago

I have some smart devices that came with these so I appear very responsible.

Just keep it in the box the phone came in with all the warranty documentation. I've never lost one of these

[–] [email protected] 1 points 59 minutes ago (1 children)

Same. And in the past decade plus of using smartphones, I've never had to open the slot except to install the SIM card for the first time. Why do I even keep it around?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 25 minutes ago

I miss sim slots.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Inside my phone case. Only makes sense to keep it with the phone.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 hours ago

Yes, I keep them in the box.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 hours ago

or a hoarder

Yep I have 2 on a small o-ring with a usb memory stick I use.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

false ; I bought a 50 pack

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Planning ahead? Sounds pretty responsible to me

I keep one in my keychain for the random instances I need one, especially when I'm away from home.

It's come in handy more than I thought it would.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 29 minutes ago

I did that until it left a hole in my thigh. Now I have one in my desk drawer and center console.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

Lies and slander. I have several, specifically because I am not responsible and lose things often.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

I have more than one. The key is the word somewhere.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Oh really? I didnt know that, yes I still do and it's only one I have

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago

I can confirm that this is false

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

I probably have like 3 or 4

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

I bought a multi tool that has one of these built in.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

I stick them in a cork board.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 hours ago

I have the ifixit screwdriver kit and one of the bits is a Sim card ejector. Does it count ?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

on my keychain with a set of handcuff keys and some earplugs lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

One can never be too prepared. "Prepared for what?" is the question.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

You sound fun.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

I have mine under my phone cover. Got sick of losing them all the time when I needed one. Since I put it under the cover, I've only needed it about two times. (Under my cover for over a year).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago

You only need it when setting up a new phone. So once you put the card in, you put the tool back in the phone’s box and just stick that in a closet.

So I’m asking… how CAN you even misplace one of those?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Like seven a drawer somewhere. I don't know where though

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

I have three downstairs in the garage, now the real question is... Where in the garage tho.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

I have a small zip bag of 100+ of these in a drawer. Sometimes you gotta pop out a SIM card. Other times you gotta hit a pinhole reset button to fix a rogue router. In a pinch, they're also a good shiv or shank.

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.

Why thank you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

Ive always just used a hair pick when I cant find it 😂

[–] [email protected] 12 points 15 hours ago

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!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 16 hours ago

Laughs in paper clip

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

I'm sure I have it in a box somewhere, but paperclips open up SIM slots just as well as SIM tools do.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

As foretold 🙏
