oh sweet jesus. I found some raspi-based GPS/RFID devices at ewaste, right? and they had a mini-PCIe WLAN card, complete with SIM card in it.The SIM card is still active.

Yep. It's active on AT&T 4G data. It's got a phone number and everything.

@foone now you have to ask yourself ... what alignment are you??Lawful Good - Contact the carrier and return/destroy it?Chaotic Good - Just straight out destroy it.Lawful Neutral - Put the SIM somewhere in a drawer where it will be forgotten.Lawful Evil - Rack up a bunch of data and THEN contact the carrier.Chaotic Evil - Rack up a bunch of data until the SIM dies.

@foone ...That can't be good. Any ideas if this is a personal SIM or a corprate SIM?

I'm used to companies leaving all kinds of important info on microSD cards and individuals leaving their tax info on hard drives, but active SIM cards is a different thing entirely.

@foone I feel like certain companies negotiated “free lifetime” cellular data for their iot devices and knowing big corp they just released them into the worldI had a 3G one of these in my CPAP and it kept working until they shut down the 3G network. These things are like a sucking chest wound on the cellular carrier is balance sheets, so I’m sure that this is a factor in non-backwards compatible cellular data service

@foone Some people are to stupid about informational hygiene for their own good. You could send them a text telling them how stupid they are or use the card until the account gets closed to perform some mild hijinx. Something like putting it into a burner and donating it to a homeless shelter. Who knows what calls to Nicaragua or Guatemala or Hyerbad would exhaust the card.I only wish it was as easy to return all the dog turds that errant dog owners leave on sidewalks and lawns back into their own living rooms.

@fooneI have definitely thrown out stuff with active SIM cards. Dog GPS trackers come to mind.Thankfully they are paid for by someone else.

@foone when you get the job, you can tell them they just need to provide the work phone, because you’ve already got plenty of company SIMs!
