SIM Card

A SIM card is a type of 

smart card

 that contains all of your account information for your GSM and

session.

SIM Card Contact Points

These are the small gold- or aluminum-coloured contacts, visible on one side of the SIM card.

Type II PC Card

A Type II PC Card is identical to the Type I PC Card in all ways except that it is thicker than 
the Type I card. The Type II PC Card is in general use now.

Wireless IP Network

A wireless network (e.g. GPRS) that uses Internet Protocol (IP).
