I thought more about reading the PIN or its hash with a modified card reader but since I could not find any information about that, it might not be possible. In fact I'm not concerned about the actual use by some thiefs. It's a flat rate, phone calls should be impossible and SMS should still be protected by a second PIN. Furthermore I can lock the SIM as soon as I realize its theft. However, now that I think about it I'm worried that they could use the SIM for illegal activities and since I can be hold responsible if my unprotected WLAN is used for spamming, frauds, etc. it might be necessary to protect my SIM as well.
