Indeed, but I’m wondering about the implications and the technical feasibility of using those permissions for something else (e.g. spying). I would have preferred to read that those permissions are not fully functional.
Complaining to a carrier might potentially be useful (especially if a lot of people did it); switching carriers might also be useful.
Sorry to be blunt, but that’s not going to happen. We’re not organised enough to massively complain about so many things…
Also, since different carriers use different permissions, including none, users might want to investigate which available carriers program their SIMs to request fewer permissions.
If necessary, I’ll create a thread to ask regarding my country. In all likelihood SIM cards provided by Swisscom and Wingo all have those permissions.
I said I have the exact same list because it is of concern for me, not to question your information regarding differences between SIM cards. I trust your answers on this forum; I was not trying to contradict you.
However, obviously, if it’s the case for Orange in an EU country and for the Swisscom MVNO in Switzerland, it’s clearly not uncommon and applies to many GOS users.
I already considered the question of changing operator because of those permissions, but I’m afraid that the choice is too limited. I need the Swisscom network because of coverage.
Your link about UICC carrier privileges is useful, although too technical for me, but I’d just really like to know if the implications of those permissions are really what most of us around here dread.
@GrapheneOS Could you chime in and tell me if I’ve put myself in a FUD loop?
What are the implications of SIM Toolkit allowed permissions? Could the camera be triggered by the operator, for instance? Or something subtler?
