How they work

Sim cards are items, each containing a phone number in their metadata. When a sim card is created (purchased or given via commands/scripts) it will not contain a number.

Players will have to open the sim card once, via the inventory or the phone, which will generate the new number for that item.

When using a sim card, the previous phone number equipped in the phone will switch places with the current number in the sim card item.

This phone number swap is done via settings → phone details → sim cards

Selling Custom Phone Numbers Using SIM Cards

By default, the "simcard" item is provided without a pre-assigned number. A random number is generated when the SIM card is activated.

To offer custom phone numbers for sale, it is recommended to create items with metadata that includes the specific phone number.

Example: Giving a player simcard with “912444000” number

local function claimSimCard(source)
	if exports.ox_inventory:CanCarryItem(source, "simcard", 1) then
		exports.ox_inventory:AddItem(source, "simcard", 1, {number="912444000"})
	end
end

This approach ensures that each SIM card can be associated with a predefined phone number, allowing you to sell custom numbers to your customers.
