How to Erase the Text on a SIM Card in a BlackBerry

Erasing your SIM card is quick and easy.

SIM cards are mass storage devices designed for phones. They enable you to save substantially larger quantities of information than a BlackBerry alone can store. A SIM card can be a helpful storage device, but at some point, even the SIM card will run out of room. When your SIM card fills up, you need to decide whether you want to keep the SIM card with all of the information, and purchase a replacement card for your BlackBerry, or erase the SIM card and free up storage space.
