The Subscriber Identity Module aka SIM Card is the transmitter of the signal to the mobile and tower. Our SIM cards contain two secret codes or keys called (IMSI value and KI value) which enable the operator to know the mobile number and authenticate the customer, these codes are related to our mobile numbers which the operators store in their vast database, it is based on these secret keys that enable the billing to be made to that customer.
