freerunner unable to work with 3G SIMCards?

[Adam Talbot]

I have 7 SIMs I am working with (More coming).  Should we create a SIM
card list, including pictures?  Is the SIM programed by the carrier, or
by the manufacture? 

Thinking a table something like this.
Card SKU, manufacturer code, Version,  Carrier, image front, image back,
Works (Yes/no/kinda), notes.   

Card images small, something like 100x80.
Is this carrier, or card specific?
Just an idea.
