Recently we had our vacations , which was filled with plans to do things that i always wanted to do but didn’t get the time. Among the list of things there was a very interesting DIY (Do It Yourself) project to make a GSM SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card reader. Its pretty thrilling and quite easy to accomplish also !! I came across this project on Youtube, the last place according to me to find such stuff.
Well this project is from the site http://www.citizenengineer.com/ these guys have done quite a good job and the resources such as the circuit diagram and the necessary software are readily available. And for those of you who hail from Bangalore , the components are easily available from SP Road and should cost around Rs34/- without the SIM-card holder which itself costed me Rs30/- anyways the links are as follows:
2.The Schematics PNG EagleCAD file and EagleCAD board layout
3.Software Source Windows executable
Finally Some Pics of my SIM READER 
The software given along with the project didnt work for me in case it did for you please reply with the configuration of your computer and the setup used, the OS used etc.
