External card reader for mac. USB-C is becoming the new standard connector and Apple is jumping on board in a big way. The newest MacBook Pro surprised everyone by only having Thunderbolt 3 (A.K.A USB-C) ports, and that left a lot of people scrambling for dongles, including card readers.

My question is simply this:

An SD card SIM adapter, like this one, can I plug a SIM data card into such an adapter, plug the SD card into my MacBook Pro, and get internet over a mobile connection using this?

Or are these adapters for other devices, things like microboards or arduinos?

Or perhaps the SIM part of the name isn't a 'SIM Card' at all, but something else?

As @JourneymanGeek posted, the thing I linked to is not what I asked about, here 'SIM' means something else or is mislabelled.

However, such a thing that I ask for does apparently exist, although perhaps only in pre-sale limbo.

Huawei 3G Ultrastick SD Card was showcased in October 2013. No sign of it apparently being for sale yet, if it will ever be, but the amount of press it has gathered, reading between the lines would suggest this is the first, or only, such product at this time.

Its mislabelled. Its an adaptor that lets you put a micro sd card into a sd card reader. As it says a little further down 'TF MicroSD card inserted into the adapter, as the SD card, or SD card reader into the universal read and write operations.'

This can be done by enabling the viewing of all drive partitions, and then selecting the Ext2/Ext3 partition and getting information on it to get its device name, which will be something like 'disk2s2.' • Attach your Ext2/Ext3 disk and Use Disk Utility to locate the device name of the drive. • Install the. Ext4 • Create a new folder somewhere to use as a mount point (a folder in the hidden /Volumes directory is recommended, but it can be anywhere you desire). • Install either or (the latter is preferred).

It does not in any way let you read a sim card, and it certainly does not magically let you insert a sim card into a computer, and use it for mobile internet (that needs a specific sort of radio, though some laptops do come with that built in)

The device in question is just a micro-SD card adapter (converts it into a regular SD card), and has nothing to do with mobile SIM cards at all.

However, two types of devices do exist that can read mobile SIM cards. A simple SIM card reader (plugs in to an USB port) allows special software to read raw data from the SIM card, such as IMSI or contacts. However this device has no mobile radio and cannot communicate with any mobile network - you can't get internet, calls or SMS.

The other type of devices are mobile broadband modems (usually plugs into USB, sometimes PC-Card slots or other ports). They accept a SIM card just like your mobile phone does, so that they can connect to the mobile network and provide your computer with an internet data connection. With the bundled software, you may also be able to take calls, send or receive SMS, or edit contacts on the SIM card.
