Thank you very much for your reply ! I'm a bit of an old-fashioned guy, who kept the same cell phone for 10 years (yes ! ten years !) before dumping it for an iPhone last year... So, ten years ago, you'd definitely have to open up the phone in order to access the sim, and the manual would strongly advise you to make sure the phone was off before doing so (because of the battery being removed I guess).

Can? Yes. Should? Probably not. the contacts on the card are on the surface, not the edge, and it's a slide mechanism that inserts/removes the card. This means that the contacts in the slot slide against the other contacts on the card before hitting their correct places. This is probably not a good thing if the circuits are "live".

I'm not sure it really makes any didfference- for all intents and purposes, a SIM is really just a very small flah memory chip, and those are inserted and emoved "liv" all th time. Besides, I doubt flght mode "disables" the SIM reader - I can still access any contacts r texts stored on the SIM on my AT&T Tilt when in flight mode, so the phone still can read/write to the SIM. Despite my digs at the iPhone, apple did put considerable attention to detail into its desig . If "live" removal of the SIM was a problem, I suspect they would've prevented the possibility. On my Tilt, the SIM is hiding behind a levered door. Sliding the lever to open the door powers off the device. archived from misc.phone.mobile.iphone

And the contacts on most flash cards are on the edge, not the flat. The only one to have them on a flat surface aren't even in use anymore.
