If you're going to sell or give away an old iPhone, the first thing you need to do is erase your personal data to make sure your private information is not seen by others. The SIM may contain some important personal information such as contacts, messages, etc. Moreover, the SIM contains important keys that allow you to connect to the SIM provider. In addition to deleting data manually, you also have a lot of other options for doing this. The following is an article on how to delete personal data on iPhone SIM .
There are certainly many ways to help you erase the data on your iPhone's SIM . One way is to manually delete, ie you will delete each contact, each message stored on your SIM card. This is definitely the most time-consuming and labor-intensive method. Moreover, with this way of erasing the data can still be recovered by recovery software.
iMyFone Umate Pro and iMyFone Umate Pro for Mac are among themost effective data deletion apps that allow you to delete all files on iPhone SIM. This application ensures all data is completely erased and 100% cannot be recovered because it overwrites all that data.
