Encrypted SIM Card vs Traditional SIM: Which is Safer?

We are going to analyze 5 big differences between an Encrypted SIM Card and a Traditional SIM Card.

Coverage: A common SIM Card allows you to connect to a single operator in the country you are in, if you travel, it will be quite difficult for you to communicate effectively, however, with an Encrypted SIM Card, you will be able to travel around the world always staying connected, you can call, chat or browse without problems since an Encrypted SIM Card connects to the best signal in each country to offer you quality and security.

Calls: When you make a call from a normal SIM Card, a direct link is opened between the SIM card of the caller and the SIM card of the receiver, this makes it easier for third parties to intercept and obtain the information about the call and the person making it.

When you make a call with an Encrypted SIM Card, the signal travels to the service provider’s secure networks, where the signal is protected and never connects them directly to each other, making it impossible to detect or intercept it. Additionally, you can generate a random number to make calls and avoid being identified and even alter the sound of your voice so that it sounds different.

Contracts and personal data: When you purchase a standard SIM Card, you are obliged to sign a contract and provide personal data such as your ID, address, among many other private information that most of the time is manipulated by the service provider company to send you advertising. It is well known that sometimes these companies even sell or exchange your information with other companies. On the other hand, with a private network provider and encrypted SIM card, you will be able to make purchases without contracts or personal data, nor will you be obliged to comply with permanence clauses. You will remain much more anonymous and secure.

Balance and the economy: The balance of an Encrypted SIM Card is for life, this means that once you acquire it and have it in use, you will have no time limit to consume the resources of the plan, meanwhile the standard SIM Cards, are renewed on each cut-off date, losing the data that you have not consumed and being forced to pay for the plan or make a recharge to continue using data that is yours.

Anonymity or IMSI changes: When we acquire any type of SIM Card, it comes with an IMSI code that is like the international number that gives an identity to your card, in Conventional SIM Cards, this code is exposed and with it it is possible to locate or track you. On the other hand, an Encrypted SIM Card has a system that hides this code so that you cannot be located or geolocated no matter where you are. In addition, you have an option to buy new IMSI codes, that is, if you want to change your IMSI for another, you just have to buy, for a low cost, a new one and use it. And if you later want to change that one for another, you can repeat the process. This will allow you to have full control of your privacy and anonymity.
