Reason behind having cut in sim cards
Now you must be thinking that when the first SIM card used to be normal, then what happened that it started being cut from the side. Actually, when SIM cards were used to be square, people were having trouble understanding which is the straight and reverse side of the SIM. In such a situation, people used to put the SIM upside down many times. Because of this, it was becoming difficult to remove it later. Sometimes the SIM chip were also getting damaged.
To solve this problem, the telecom companies felt the need to change the design of the SIM. After this the companies cut the SIM card from one corner. Due to this cut in corner, it was easy for people to insert and remove the SIM card in the mobile phone, because a groove was formed due to the cut in the SIM card. In such a situation, people used to have convenience in using SIM cards, due to which other telecom companies also started selling SIM cards with new cut designs in corner.
