People's Posts and Telecommunications News, 11/28/08
Guangxi Mobile's Liuzhou branch has launched a reusable SIM card system. The system can erase personal data on SIM cards and input new details including a new phone number, thereby allowing subscribers to change numbers without the need to change SIM cards. The Liuzhou branch launched the system in two areas with high SIM card usage rates and, according to incomplete statistics, by the beginning of October, over 20,000 SIM cards had been reformatted by the system. The system is designed to reduce the amount of waste being generated by people discarding old SIM cards to purchase new ones.
