SIM Card Reader

any recommendations for a good USB based phone SIM card reader?

It's sole use will be for backing up & restoring numbers.

I tried two of those cheapies from ebay but they were very hit and miss, in fact one of them would not recognise any SIM I tried in it.

well if you have an android phone you can sync it to your username and when you add your account to a phone you instantly have all your contacts, and dont need to worry about numbers on your sim, im not 100% sure but id assume Apple have a similar process and most likely would windows mobile also.

Did you turn off any such sim lock?

This is required for SIM's from some standard GSM phones and is not smart phone or iPhone related

None of the SIMs were locked
