How to delete SIM card records on iPhone easily?The steps you can learn as soon as you learn them
When we change the SIM card or use the iPhone, the system may save some SIM card usage records. For privacy reasons, many users want to be able to delete these records. So, how to delete SIM card records on iPhone?Next, we will give you a detailed introduction to the operation steps.
Method 1: Delete via iPhone Settings
Open your iPhone's Settings app.
Scroll and find the "Cellular" or "Mobile Data" option, tap to enter.
Here, you will see information related to your SIM card such as number, carrier, etc. But please note that the direct "Delete SIM card history" option is non-existent.
If what you want to delete is SIM card contacts or SMS history, please proceed with the following:
For contacts: Go to "Settings" - "Contacts", select "Import SIM Signals", and wait for the import to complete. Once done, you can manually delete the contacts you don't need. But please note that this is not to delete the records on the SIM card directly, but to delete these imported contacts on the iPhone.
For text messages: Open the Messages app and select and delete text message conversations that you don't want to keep. But again, this doesn't delete the text message history on the SIM card, because modern SIM ** often doesn't store the content of the text messages.
Method 2: Reset the network settings
If your purpose is to remove all SIM-related network settings, you can try resetting your iPhone's network settings.
Go to your iPhone's Settings app.
Scroll below and select the "General" option.
In the "General" menu, find and tap on the "Reset" option.
Select Reset network settings. This will delete all stored Wi-Fi passwords, VPN and APN settings, etc., but will not delete your data or apps.
Method 3: Replace or reinsert the SIM card
Turn off the computer and remove the SIM card.
Wait a few minutes before reinserting the SIM card.
Turn on the computer and check if there is still a previous SIM card record.
It should be noted that the iPhone itself does not directly store SIM card usage records, such as call logs and text message content. This information is usually stored on the operator's servers or on the SIM card itself. Therefore, the above methods are more to help you erase SIM-related data and settings on your iPhone.
Also, if you wish to completely delete all data on your SIM card, you may need to contact your carrier or SIM card provider, as some data (such as the IMSI number of the SIM card, etc.) is permanently written to the SIM card and cannot be deleted by the user.
Before doing anything, it is recommended to back up your iPhone data in case of accidental loss. Hopefully, these methods can help you delete unwanted SIM card records and protect your privacy.
