▲ Unicom 3G film card, which one is eye-catching? Wo? Trademark, not bad workmanship.
Detailed description of film card appearance:
Bian Xiao's sticker card is not packaged, but judging from the Unicom LOGO and workmanship on the card, it should be from the official hand of Unicom. At first glance, it is basically the same as an unused ordinary SIM card, but if you look at the SIM card carefully, you will find that the black part is separated from the plastic card below.
▲ The black part is not integrated with the card below, and there is tape on it.
When using the membrane card, it is necessary to punch and fix the SIM card. Open this card, you can see that the shape of the fixing hole is roughly oval:
▲ The black part is the part that fixes the film card and SIM card. You need to punch a hole in the SIM card first.
The size of thin-film card is slightly smaller than that of ordinary SIM card, which can be applied to almost all mobile phones supporting WCDMA network, but does not support iPhone4 and iPhone4S. The reason is also obvious: the area is too large to hold the small card of iPhone4.
▲ The film sticking card is slightly smaller than the ordinary SIM card and directly covers the chip of the SIM card.
▲ Elliptical protrusions are used to fix the SIM card.
A film card is called a film card because of its thin thickness. Although powerful, it is only equivalent to the thickness of ordinary A4 printing paper, and it will hardly affect the use after the SIM card is attached.
▲ The thickness is quite amazing
The whole process of developing film cards (1);
Before using the film card, it is necessary to punch holes in the SIM card to fix the film card. At present, it is impossible to buy a punching machine that is completely suitable for film cards, so this is a headache. The tools prepared by Bian Xiao are a circular punch and a set of manicure tools, as well as two SIM cards, one for hand training and the other for use:
▲ The complete set of tools used by Bian Xiao proves that there is no need to use so many.
▲ The card for practicing hands was successfully completed (failed countless times before ...)
▲ First draw a box on the SIM with the card holder of the membrane card.
▲ The drawn box, the actual hole will be slightly larger than this box.
Careful friends may have noticed that there were two small protrusions on both sides of Unicom's fixed hole, but these two small details are too difficult for the clumsy Bian Xiao to grasp. After many failures, the hole was simply punched into a complete oval, which made Bian Xiao very satisfied, and the film card did not become particularly loose.
▲ First punch a round hole along one side of the oval frame with a punch.
The whole process of punching film card (2):
Because there is no special tool, the operation of punching is still risky. I suggest you find some discarded old cards (such as expired discount cards and discount cards) to practice, and then master certain tricks before starting the SIM card, otherwise it will be very troublesome to replace the SIM card after it is damaged. ?
▲ Make a hole.
Take the other side of the oval box and make another one, and then slowly process it with small tools.
▲ Compare with the film card while processing until the oval hole just fits the film card.
▲ After the film machine is installed, Bian Xiao himself is quite satisfied with the final effect.
▲ After installation, the thickness does not change much, which will not affect the use.
▲ Inserting the SIM card slot of the mobile phone feels a little tighter than before, but it has little impact?
Detailed explanation of the function of one card with double numbers:
After the hardware transformation is completed, Bian Xiao has been in a rather embarrassing state before the mobile phone is turned on. I don't know if it really works, but the result is satisfactory. Please continue to read the following detailed evaluation of the use of Bian Xiao:
▲ After installing the film card, the default startup is Unicom 3G network (the picture on the right shows the help description of the film card).
Unlike many people's expectations, the thin-film card can only support one number for standby, and you can't use mobile when using Unicom, and vice versa. The switching number should be in the menu of SIM card tool (SIM card tool is available on every mobile phone, but the name may be slightly different).
▲SIM card tool menu, which mainly provides functions such as standby number switching and call forwarding settings.
In the SIM card tool, you need to restart the phone to take effect. The thin film card provides two ways: the manual way is to manually restart the mobile phone, and the automatic way is to automatically restart after selecting the switching number.
▲ After the number is changed and restarted, you can use the previous mobile phone number. Just switch and repeat the operation again.
I believe that the need to restart the mobile phone when changing the number will also disappoint many people who are full of expectations for the film card. The automatic switching function is of little significance and is not very good support for many mobile phones (Desire Z in Bian Xiao does not support the automatic restart function. ), when using automatic switching, the mobile phone may be disconnected but not restarted. At this point, you only need to restart manually.
▲ Bian Xiao's mobile phone will not automatically restart after using the automatic switching function, but there is no network.
3G Internet Test:
Although the function is different from what many people think? Amazing? It's a little different, but it's still very convenient to use. Bian Xiao tested the 3G Internet access and call function. By downloading the software from Unicom 3G, it can easily reach the speed of 60K-70K per second. The call is normal, the voice is clear and the signal is strong:
▲3G Internet access and call functions are quite easy to use.
▲ Youku watches an episode of "Walking on Thin Ice" online, which is very fast.
Packaging and customs duties:
If you don't use the function of one card and two numbers of Unicom film card, you can also use the film card with the card holder that comes with the purchase machine. In this case, the film card is basically the same as the ordinary Unicom 3G card. Theoretically, the package and charging method of film sticking card are the same as those of ordinary Unicom 3G card.
▲ The film card can be used alone, and the tariff is exactly the same as that of the ordinary Unicom 3G card.
Why is it only theoretical? In fact, 3G film cards can't be purchased through Unicom's official sales channels at present, so they can only be purchased through a few merchants on Taobao at present, and Unicom's tariffs are different in different places, so the actual tariffs will be calculated according to the local tariffs where the numbers are located and the packages selected by users when purchasing. Moreover, merchants often charge a certain credit card fee, and packages will have different degrees of preferential measures in different regions.
▲ At present, China Unicom has not officially issued a film card, but it can be purchased on Taobao.
Summary:
After getting the video card, Bian Xiao aroused a lot of people's interest in the company, but most people were disappointed when they learned that two numbers could not stand by at the same time, and they needed to restart their mobile phones to switch numbers. Bian Xiao's trial experience is as follows:
1, the membrane card is really thin, and it will basically not affect the SIM card after installation (except punching, in fact, there is a hole in the SIM card that can be used);
2. Although it is impossible to stand by at the same time, the function of one card with double numbers is amazing;
3, the use range is very wide, no matter what operating system, as long as it supports WCDMA network, it can basically be used, but it does not support iPhone4, because it can only be used on ordinary size SIM cards, and small cards cannot be used;
4. Convenient call forwarding settings are provided, but the cost of transferring mobile phones to other places is very high (this film card in Bian Xiao is from Anhui), and users in other places can basically ignore this function;
5. If you need to use the original mobile phone number frequently, it will be very troublesome to switch frequently.
6. Generally speaking, it is suitable for users who want to experience Unicom 3G and those who intend to gradually abandon their mobile numbers, because it is really inconvenient to restart the handover, and if the call forwarding function is used, the mobile tariff is really unbearable.
