FreeRunner SIM compatibility
See also: FreeRunner Hardware Issues
GSM/Flashing
So far there were no credible reports of any issues left with any sim cards after upgrading GSM firmware. So, basically, if it works with any old GSM phone, it will work with GTA01 and GTA02 too after firmware upgrade.
Carrier
There is carrier page documented carriers compatibility Carriers

Yes. They sent me a 64K23 card for free and that worked. |
The chip on the new card is bigger. It has 4 contact points on each of the 2 columns, instead of 3 on each.

SIM is from the days of Cingular, so it's very old. Om2007.2 showed "Registering...". Om2008.12 did not acknowledge the SIM. QT-Extended said "Sim not detected". Used friend's SIM and was able to place a call immediately. Current is 4020, tested with 4022.

Default sim bought in a vodafone store (1 year old - i.e. 2007/8). Was able to make it work by flashing to the gsm firmware moko10 as per instructions on the wiki.

User Provided tested SIM pictures
Base on community post:
The 71324 is the SKU for the AT&T latest UICC.
The 2022 is the Vendor and Version number.
Some cards the vendor numbers are
2 - G&D
3 - Gemalto
4 - Oberthur
Usually user will get CME ERROR 13 (sim failure), rather than CME ERROR 10 (sim not inserted) when 3G SIM not working.
CME ERROR: 32 is Network not allowed, emergency calls only, might because the card not activated.
The Error

Working and not working AT&T card
- Some AT&T cards have same vendor/ID number, but different contacts (Josh posted at 2008/8/24), following image shows that card that working (right) and not working (left) one.
Also, AT&T's new SIM card (left) will work with the Freerunner. It has been tested on om2008. On right is the same non-working SIM as the one shown in the above picture.
