Thread here about an Aldi offer for a simcard back gizmo

I apologise if I am repeating another post. Lloyds Chemist branches are selling a "gizmo" that backs up a sim card for £1.99 reduced from about £14. It has its limitations, as it is fairly basic and only has two functions. You insert a sim card in it and it will copy the address contents and store them. You can then restore them or write them to another sim card at a later date. That's it, there is no editing or selecting function, it is all or nothing. It overwrites its own memory or the sim card memory each time you use it so you cannot back up more than one sim card, nor can you add its contents to an existing sim without losing that sim's existing contents. However it is a useful address backup device at a bargain price.
