I know that you can have multiple commlinks and fake SINs. Also, I know that SINs (legal or fake) are connected to your commlink(s). I'm not sure if you can have more than one sin connected to a single commlink, but I know if you could, that would be a horrible tactical decision.
Anywho, I was wondering if you could have multiple commlinks on and connected to your image link at the same time. As well, would it be a bad idea (or is it possible) to have each commlink connected to your PAN? Or should you have a clean SIN connected to a commlink with your PAN connected to it? Or should you have a different PAN for each SIN? |

The Subscriber Identity Module card is actually a smart card containing a cryptographic processor that securely controls the cryptographic keys needed to access the network, encrypt calls and hence identify the user to the network (along with other useful data). As SR says that cryptography doesn't work, neither does the underlying concept behind the SIM. You could still do it, but why bother having a little chip that contains an ID code that is essentially stored in clear text when you could just have it stored in the comlink itself? Or store multiple ID codes. |
