From what I have read modern smartphones do not use the sim card for any type of storage. I know older phones would store contacts and sms text messages to the sim card but only incoming messages not outgoing messages. But many smart phones such as and iphone only store data to the internal storage and icloud. The sim card on iphones for example is only used to store Customer phone number and billing data.
What Is the SIM Card in the iPhone?
ETA: I'm not real familiar with other brands of phones so it may be possible that some android devices may still use sim cards for storage.
I thought the SIM card was the equivalent of a PC's hard drive. Shows what I know (or don't)! So, you're saying a or some cell phones have a hard drive (only term I know) that is not the SIM card. Is it a little chip?
