Protected Locations

Some of the operators have preloaded Hot Keys (Usually 9 hotkeys. Please refer to different
operators) onto their SIM cards that cannot be overwritten. To ensure the SIMDrive can function
properly with these preserved locations, you need to add the number of your SIM Hotkey
manually into the SIMDrive editor(see fig.4) and then save it. (Usually they are the first few
numbers of your SIM so can be easily recognised).

Note: Some operators might not have any preloaded Hot Keys, in this case you just
need to enter “0” and the SIMDrive will work as normal.

problems or delays when reading or writing to your SIM card.

Please note however that for the majority of SIM cards, this does NOT affect the actual
