Support to more/new SIM cards

Osmocom Discourse [Unofficial] June 9, 2026

Hi! We have a private 5G network in our research laboratory and I started to dig in the SIM card technology. Our 5G network came with a batch of Smartjac SIM cards and we have a single unit of a Oyeitimes SIM card (from China/AliExpress). I would like to program these SIM cards using pySim, however I have noticed that it only supports a few SIM cards, mostly the sysmocom ones (which, by the way, are the only ones to be implemented using the newer CardModel class). My questions are: * What is the barrier for supporting new SIM cards? * I have created two patches to bring support to the Smartjac and Oyeitimes SIM cards (based on the newer CardModel class). Is there interest from the community if i came to bring these patches to mainline/public? (My writeup to get some context in this saga SIM Card: Reverse Engineering and ADM password bypass – Arthur Simas) Thank you!
