The ''mini-SIM'' or (2FF , 2nd form factor) card has the same contact arrangement as the full-size SIM card and is normally supplied within a full-size card carrier, attached by a number of linking pieces. This arrangement (defined in [[ISO/IEC 7810]] as [[ID-1/000]]) lets such a card be used in a device that requires a full-size card{{snd}} or in a device that requires a mini-SIM card, after breaking the linking pieces. As the full-size SIM is obsolete, some suppliers refer to the mini-SIM as a "standard SIM" or "regular SIM".
