In my last two phones I have used eSIM, but I still have 6 of these in a neat row on a magnet above my desk.

yup. just needed it the other month and paperclipped it after searching in vain for an hour or so.

Tool cabinets are a marvelous thing. I have a little thing squirreled away in a drawer of other tools, just the top of a box that a screen protector came in, that is just full of tiny specialized precision tools that I very seldom need.

I have this somewhere does that count?

[–] babyfarmer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I know exactly where two of these are in my desk.

You know, just in case.

[–] s_i_m_s@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I bought a pack of a hundred of them and put several everywhere I thought I might look for one.

[–] drathvedro@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Never. My current and all previous phones have toothpicks stuck in the holes and knife marks all around the sim tray.

[–] CalicoJack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you want to "upgrade" a bit, sewing needles work much better than toothpicks. And they're almost as cheap.

[–] drathvedro@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Sure, but I don't carry a sewing needle with either. Probably should, actually. The reason toothpicks are there is because it's the only thing at hand in those rare case when you need it, mostly middle of fuck nowhere and far away from home, when only one of the phones has charge but the other has reception.

I used to work for Asurion, I got a dozen of them you can have .

Earring gang where you at

I'm not a responsible person, though, I'm too lazy to move that shit around often to have it lost outside my closet...

[–] bigFab@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've tried that. Too painful

[–] dog_@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'm sorry :(

[–] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Meh, I already keep a small paper clip in my wallet for clogged vapes, controller resets, SD cards, etc.

it's simple keep the box in you're cable cupboard (am trying to spawn British people /j)

[–] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Not only i have one, i once made use of it to someone on a bus ride who randomly needed to swap the sim card. I happened to sit next to him.
