When you lost your SIM, where did it show up?

Before dual SIM phones were standard, I was constantly switching SIMs for personal / work rather than carry two phones around. I lost my work SIM for two days and searched for it a whole weekend.

I had given up and was ready to report it missing on Monday morning but then noticed what felt like a sharp edged stone chip inside my wader when driving. I stopped, turned it upside down and the SIM fell out. I was mortified but the SIM still worked!

Glad you found your SIM, they are indeed very small and easy to misplace if you are swapping them around.

I still remember the large style SIM cards that were much easier to spot, showing my age here I'm sure.

Least you managed to find it and can use again

I'm in the same club remembering the standard or mini SIM, which wasn't very small compared to the nano-SIMs of today.

The lesson being if you think you lost your SIM (or anything small for that matter), you could well have a hole in your jeans pocket.
