Why does the SIM card break quickly?

Question

HTC

In the summer of 2012, I bought an HTC One S phone and inserted a cut-off SIM card into it. After 10 months, the phone stopped catching the network. I inserted my SIM card into another phone - it does not work there either. I inserted another SIM card into my phone - it works. Thus determined that the SIM-card is out of order. I replaced it with a new SIM card (already micro, no scraps). After 4 months, the same thing happened, again the phone stopped catching the network. Replaced with a new one. And here again 4 months have passed and again the SIM card has failed. Of course, I will go again for a new SIM card, but can something be done about it? Maybe something wrong with the phone?

Answer 1

You may be out of luck.
In general, a certain number of connections to the network are protected in the SIM card, and there used to be a big problem with 3g, the channel counter every time you switch from 3g to 2g, and given that the coverage was very uneven, the sims began to die very quickly.
You either have bad luck or you live in a region with very bad luck.

Answer 2

Try, if possible, to wipe the sim contacts on the phone (clean it with the same alcohol). Maybe something with food.
Do you often use 3g?
Previously, I heard a lot of complaints about MTS SIM cards.
