What’s even the reason to keep the toolkit? Never found any use for it

It is possible to disable the SIM Toolkit app if you know how to use ADB, at least on some devices. There’s a few guides around for it, including this one: https://rudymartin.removed/2025/07/disabling-annoying-sim-toolkit-pop-ups.html
It’s worth noting that disabling it doesn’t really cause issues in most cases, since the actual chip functionality is handled by other programs.

It’s at least partly a holdover from the GSM/2G days, and it serves almost no purpose for end users because every carrier just uses it to try and sell you things you don’t want.

I’ll try it out later and report back!
