What is Bulk Rate? BulkRate is a semi-wholesale system with items priced separately from retail. When you use bulk rates, a flat $1.70 registered air mail fee will automatically be added to your cart to ensure delivery of package. While BulkRate's intention is to offer cheaper prices when you buy in bulk, because it is priced separately it on occassions show a higher than retail price. That's why we ask you to enter BULKRATE as a coupon code to manually activate the rates. You can always opt not to use the bulk rates.

I spend a lot of time before its work.

Practically this is usb2com converter for sim card

Pros: This device is rather cheap, it provides direct access to COM port on SIM card. (Yes, your phone card is just normal COM port device with unusual port form factor.
 
Cons: Supporting software (it is not a driver indeed: there is no such thing as a driver for these kind of devices other than standard PL2303 bridge) is window$ only.
You won't be able to use it on Linux or other Unix easily.
 
Other Thoughts: You can use this device as usb2com-on-sim converter. It should be similar to your normal phone data cable connection, but it should provide more functionality, such as PIN code change.
The problem is that you must know appropriate AT-sequences and they're not documented. I managed to find standard sequences on the net -- but for those tasks you may use your phone.
It is possible to run the program from the disk under recent wine, but I was unable to get direct USB access for it so far.
 
Bottomline: If you want to hack your SIM card and do not spare several bucks, you may buy it.
But do not anticipated out of the box or little effort performance.

Pros: Very cheap price. A good thing if your phone does'nt have data connection. So you can do a backup from your SIM. Never know when you'll lose it :).
 
Cons: At the very first time I entered my SIM, i bend the little wiers that connect to the SIM. So I had to take it apart and fix it with needles. And now I don't push my SIM in like supposed to, I take it apart and put it there, this way I won'nt brake it again.
 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: So if your phone does'nt manage to make a back up from you contacts, buy this little piece. It's very cheap :)
