Solution

You can use this simple code to detect SIM changes.

Add new class file to your Android project SimStateChangedReceiver.cs

[BroadcastReceiver(Enabled = true)]
[IntentFilter(new[] { "android.intent.action.SIM_STATE_CHANGED"}, Priority = (int)IntentFilterPriority.HighPriority)]
public class SimStateChangedReceiver : BroadcastReceiver
{
    public override void OnReceive(Context context, Intent intent0)
    {                
       Toast.MakeText(Application.Context, "Sim state has been changed", ToastLength.Long).Show();
    }
}

Also provide READ_PHONE_STATE permission in your manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />

When you change SIM in your phone OnReceive method will fire.
