I’m pretty sure if I accidentally press “OK”, I get charged extra. In addition to the pop-up, I get the same thing as a permanent notification until I reboot – if I try to disable the notification, I get “These notifications can’t be modified”, as it is using the built-in system SIM Toolkit. I am using GrapheneOS. Name and shame: MOVISTAR.

    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.

    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.

    Edit: Looks like the link I sent got redacted somehow, but either way searching for stuff like “adb disable sim toolkit” seems to give you answers.

        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.
