I have multiple sim cards and am trying to find a keyring or flat credit-card-sized holder that will let me phisically slot 4 or more sim cards into it and put them in my wallet (or on a keyring) I am NOT after a sim card backup unit or 8-in-1 card; as my cards change depending what country I am visiting. I never store my phone numbers in my sim card they are stored on my phone with a backup on my PC.

I also am NOT looking for a Dual sim back or battery as I have tried them and dislike them, I simply want to carry my sim cards around with me without losing them.

surely someone must have made a thin credit card sized holder that lets you click your phone sim cards into it and put it in your wallet? I have spent many hours Googling and only found one keyring sim holder with no price and a 100 minimum order size.

I've never seen a multiple wallet sized SIM holder either. perhaps you should design one

Indeed i've had one in my wallet with my coins as well for months, it's still undamaged and to me was an easy and logical place

Just put then into a credit card section of your normal wallet.

or make a little pouch out of paper or card ( fold one and glue 3 sides and leave one side open) and then you can put the sims in there and keep the pouch in a credit card section or the notes section of your wallet.

Or keep the pouch in your pocket (make a little thing so it closes? )

OK I have taken a swipe top-up card and drawn around my sim cards, cut this section out and put sticky tape on the backside, make sure you stick the sim cards down with the connector side up (away from the tape)



now I can simply stick my various sim cards into the cutout and the tape holds it in place securely, just be careful when pulling the cards off the backing tape when you want to use them.

I would have prefered a bought gadget but it will do the job nicely, I can simply replace the sticky tape when the cards have been switched about or it gets lots of wallet fluff on it. now watch out for the shortage of swipe top-up cards

P.S. don't use your credit card for this

i think the coins section of the wallet is best, cos its easily accessed.
maybe someone can design a keychain that can hold your car keys as well as sim cards.

Got the same problem, multiple sims for different countries, so after a lot of searching I came with a simple solution, A zipped mini bag with 4 divisions. Maybe is not as fancy as the keychain, but I've had it for almost a year now and works perfect, and easily fits on your wallet.

The bag alone with the divisions.



Now, the bag with four sims.



You can see how easy it fits on your wallet.

You need to get one of those Extra thin ice cases. Or whatever thin minty strips that melt on your tongue products you can get your hands on. The cases are ideal for putting sim cards in* and they come out so fresh.

* I haven't actually tested this, and they may not fit.
