As you’d expect, that’s because many of us are acquiring second SIMs for use in mobile broadband or on tablets. (Clearly, tethering isn’t all that just yet.) A second growth area is machine-to-machine (M2M) SIMs, used for applications such as security and automation.
How many active SIMs do you own? My personal total is six, but I’m a freak example since I keep SIMs for testing purposes.
