Introduction This guide will help you "clone" your GSM SIM card and
make unlimited copies of it by using either Gold Wafer Cards or 16F84a
+ 24C16 DIL. The "cloned" SIM card will work just like the original
meaning you can make a call, send an SMS, manage phonebook and SMS
messages too. You can use the "cloned" SIM and the original SIM
simultaneously meaning both of your SIMs will have network and both
can send SMS at the same time. However, only one of the active SIMs
can make a phone call at any time. Simultaneous calls are not allowed
because the call will immediately be disconnected by your Network
Provider. Regarding recieving SMS from other people, only one of the
SIMs will recieve the message. This is a "first-come-first-serve"
basis and no bias is given to the original SIM. Obviously, the bills
for the "cloned" SIM will also be reflected to the bills of the
original SIM. Not all phones accept "cloned" SIMs. The Nok 9210
rejects cloned SIMs as well as most new 3G phones (and even some old
ones...) Not all original SIMs can be "cloned" too because "cloning"
requires that you should extract the Ki and IMSI from the original SIM
and today the new GSM SIM cards are built will tougher protection
algorithms. You may be able to get the Ki and the IMSI, but it will
take you at least 8 hours for the latest SIMs. It could even take
days... 10 easy steps to 'clone' your GSM SIM !
Let us begin... (This is only applicable to Goldwafer Cards not to
Silverwafer Cards)

STEP 1 - Downloading software from the Internet SIM Scan 1.21 by Dejan
Kaljevic --> Sim Scan 1.21 TwinSim 1.0 by lotfi17 --> TwinSim.Zip IC-
Prog 1.04 by Bonny Gijzen --> Http://www.Ic-prog.Com/icprog.ZipWinPhoenix
1.06 by Paul Arnold and Joos Design --> Winphoenix.Zip WinPhoenix
EEPROM Loader --> Loader.Zip HEX to BIN Converter --> Hex2bin.Zip

STEP 2 - Building your own GSM SIM Reader/Writer Hardware SIM Reader =
SIM SCAN - Smart Mouse Compatible --> Schematics SIM Writer = JDM
Programmer --> Schematics /\/\/\/\Don't have time to build this? Buy
ready-made here./\/\/\/\

STEP 3 - Buying or making your own blank SIM cards Make your own
16F84A + 24C16 DIL --> Schematics /\/\/\/\Don't have time to build
this? Buy Goldwafer cards here./\/\/\/\

STEP 4 - Getting the Ki and IMSI of the original SIM Install Sim Scan
1.21 by running the install.Bat file. Run and configure Sim Scan from
c:\sim_scan\setup.Bat file. Screen 1: Press Alt+Enter Key, then select
the COM port where SIM Reader is Connected. SIM Scan will not work
properly unless it is maximized to full screen. Screen 2: Select baud
rate (choose 9600 bps 3.57 Mhz) Screen 3: Put original SIM card to SIM
Reader and press Enter Screen 4: Press 'F5' - Get IMSI and Ki. Sim
Scan will automatically create par2.Bin File as part of installation.
This will take about 40 minutes on a fast computer. Screen 5: Select
'F2' or 'F3' (Do not use 'F1' unless you know what you are doing.)
'F3' Retrieves 75% of SIMs even year 2001 GSM SIMs, but it is slow.
'F2' Retrieves 50% of SIMs even year 2001 GSM SIMs and it is faster. /
\/\/\/\If the Ki and IMSI cannot be retrieved using 'F2', you can
switch to 'F3'/\/\/\/\ The process of getting the Ki and the IMSI from
the original SIM usually takes from 4 hours to 3 days depending on the
type of GSM SIM. You can exit at anytime and You can resume whenever
you want, Sim Scan will start from where you last finished. After the
Ki and the IMSI has been retrieved, a file named c:\Imsi_ki.Dat will
be Created and by using Notepad to open it you will see similar to
screen below.
Step 5 - Creating the HEX files for the "clone" SIM Run TwinSim 1.0
and select 'Single-Sim' then input the Ki and the IMSI that you got
from the original SIM. For 'PIN' enter any 4 Digits and for 'PUC'
enter any 8 digits. After inputting all data Needed, click 'Generate
Picfile' and 'Generate Epromfile' then Exit the program. Two HEX files
will be generated in the folder Where TwinSim is located (pic16f84.Hex
+ eprom.Hex).
Step 6 - Converting the eeprom.Hex to eeprom.Bin The eeprom.Hex and
hex2bin.Exe files must be placed on the same directory. Run
hex2bin.Exe And copy the settings from the screen below. Now a new
file 'eeprom.Bin' will be created.
Step 7 - Burning the EEPROM Loader to the Goldwafer. Run IC-Prog 1.04
and configure it to work with the SIM Writer which is a JDM hardware.
Choose 'Settings' --> 'Hardware' then choose correct COM port where
SIM Writer Is connected. After setting up the hardware, put the blank
Goldcard to the SIM Writer and select 16F84A from the chip list. Now
load the 'Winphoenix Loader.Hex' by selecting 'File' --> "Open File'.
After loading the file, click the program all button (the one with the
thunder icon).

Step 8 - Burning the eeprom.Bin to the Goldcard. Put the Goldcard
which you used from IC-Prog to the SIM Reader and Then run WinPhoenix
1.06. Other versions of WinPhoenix might not work So make sure that
you are using version 1.06. Configure the COM port Where the SIM
reader is connected. This can be done using the 'File' -->
'Preferences' and seleting 'General' Tab. Select 'File' --> 'Load' and
choose eeprom.Bin. Select 'Card' --> 'Program' and the eeprom.Bin will
be written to the Golwafer's 24C16.

Step 9 - Burning the pic16f84.Hex to the Goldwafer. Put the Goldwafer
to the SIM writer hardware and run IC-Prog 1.04 again. Follow the same
steps as described in Step 7, but this time load the pic16f84.Hex File
instead. You can program this card with 'CP' enabled or disabled, it
does not matter. Step 10 - Testing the 'cloned' SIM to your phone.
Insert the 'cloned' SIM to your phone and enter the PIN code which you
wrote earlier Using the TwinSim 1.0 program. Wait for the phone to
register to the Network and now You are done.
