La majorité des terminaux sont aujourd'hui des portatifs qui acceptent des cartes micro-SIM [...] La carte [...] est de petite taille. L'objet de cette carte est d'être utilisée de façon quasi-permanente dans un terminal portatif donné. Son insertion/retrait dans un mobile est en effet moins immédiate que la carte SIM ID-1. 2, record 1, French, - micro%20SIM
