I have 5 sims and I would like to be able to back-up them. I've seen the gold and silver cards, but in Romania I haven't seen any for sale so i would do even with only one back-up card.

Is there a possibility to overwrite an already written sim-card?

Give it a try. It should work excepting some prepaid cards who after beeing rejected from the network wont work.

It's not about just giving it a try :(
I have to buy a sim card reader first(and for me the 10 dollars mean smth this month).

So did anybody try it? Come on, please tell me if you did!

You dont have to buy a sim reader . Use a phone that can store numbers in own memory ( Nokia 6110 or other)

Could you be ONTOPIC?

I want to back-up the NUMBER not the phone numbers in the sim-card... do you get it?

SO, can anybody help me with this?

It's just like cloning 4 sim cards in one sim, but i can live with only one (other) number in a sim.

For example to save an orange number in a cosmorom sim-card, where orange and cosmorom are romanian providers.

No. You cannot. SIM cards are write protected...
