Mobile telephones and SIM cards

The SIM card is the card that is purchased from a telephone operator, who assigns a call number and invoices the calls (in France, the operators are Orange, SFR and Bouyges).

SIM cards, mobile phones and the operator are three sources of information. Their contents vary widely depending on the telephone model.

LERTI can recover information that has been deleted from numerous mobile phones.

Information stored by SIM cards:

SIM cards can be protected by entering a PIN code. If this is the case, we need to ask the operator for a PUK code. And this may call for a court order.
