Hi guys,
Am thinking about getting one of these :- http://www.pdamods.com/products.asp?cat=14
Anyone got one already?
Does it work well?
How do you switch from one sim to the other?
Thanks! All help appreciated. :roll:
I use it all the time i did a review at
http://www.tekguru.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2444&highlight=dual+sim+card
works brill everytime turn it off then turn it back on up comes other sim card
Thanks for dual sim revue
Thanks Jim,
I was just about to buy this dual sim, when I checked the forum & saw your revue. The crucial bit was where you have to divert to receive! As I work most of the year touring through 12-13 countries a week, this would not work as one sim is work & other is mine. this would mean that I would have to pay the bulk of any incoming work calls when my sim was on. And work would have to pay for mine when it was on.
So it looks like it's back to 2 phones, 2 kits, 2 chargers etc.
Ain't technology wonderful! :roll: :lol:
I use this all the time and the good thing is that you can switch between sims without turning your phone off - all you do is turn off flight mode and turn it on again.

Does anyone know of a dual SIM that fits in and works with Touch Diamond???
Why not use an N-in-1 card that allows you to clone a SIM? I find dual SIM's to decrease battery life on WinMo devices. A Ghost SIM should fit perfectly fine however.
Hi there,
I tried the dual sim adaptors from hot-wire-telekom.
I tried both
the digital:
hot-wire explains that this can cause problems - and it doesnot work
the analog:
should work - but it doesnot
I tried both with a Siemens S55 and it worked (digital version needs a lot of power - only about on third standby left).
I will have to contact the guys from hot-wire to ask what to do with the diamond.
To be continued...

Hmmm interesting... http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/dualsim/magicsim.htm like this?
Does STK stuff work with winMO 6.1 etc etc.
You sound like you know your stuff so as much info as poss would be super helpful...
many thanks
How about this one from Brando? I'm going to order one soon. It's not cheap($27+3 shipped) though.
It says can directly switch the sim from sim menu.
The STK should work fine in Windows Mobile. DX has them the cheapest and offers free wordwide shipping. I've purchased many things from them and am very happy with their service.

I tried the Magic one and it didn't work. It looks to me that those adaptors work with Nokia type phones only.

Bummer - there must be one that actually works like the 6-in-1 magic SIM
Apparently they can cause problems with 3G/HSDPA? Anyone noticed that?
I almost got one, but having to switch over from one SIM to another and then back to the other just to see if I've missed calls/SMS's etc seems like something that I'd grow tired of very quickly.
If the Diamond had two radios, and could use two SIM's simultaneously, then that would be nice...

Yes I agree - I have put the calls on divert from my Orange number to my 3 sim works a treat problem solved for now - I am seeing a growing trend in Dual Radio phones though. Two HSDPA connections at once... LOL maybe in future we will se channel bonding
Now that would be interesting... It cant be too far off. To be honest, for so many years people have carried two cell phones, (some people more than two!) that I find it kind of strange no-one has tapped that market yet... These SIM adapters are the best attempt at solving the issue, but they just create more issues... I ended up porting my personal number to my work account so I could be done with the whole thing and just have one phone and one number I would have preferred a dual radio phone though!
I have an analog one, which works perfectly. i believe it's the magic sim 1st gen adapter... no problems with hsdpa or anything else
I have one in my Diamond just now, which I previously bought for my iPhone.
I don't know what Generation it is, but its a ghost SIM which you cut your 2 SIM cards and fit into one. I simply turn the celular radio off and on to switch network - either that or reboot the device.
N to 1 sims ?
The problem with all the N to 1 sims (including magicsim) is that you can only clone V1 sim cards (sim cards delivered before 2002 with some countries/operators variations).
Modern sim cards are almost always V2 or V3 versions and for the moment there aren't clonable (august 2008) !!! Trying to clone a V2 or V3 sim card for using a N to 1 sims will in most cases block your sim card defnitively So today the interest of such multisims cards are limited ....
(for myself i had the chance to keep old V1 sim cards and using diamond now with silvercard with sim emu containing two sim clones ....)
I got an answer from hot-wire-telekom for the digital and analog 2-in-1 sim adaptor.
The digital one will not work with PDAs at all.
The analog one should work but there can be problems and the adaptor will not fit perfect. So I should try tape and pieces of paper to make the sim fit in the slot.
I tried it for about one hour and it only worked with one card but did not display the second.
Will take another hour tonight...
Try SIMORE dual sim

Did anyone understand the differences between the three versions (Gold/Black/Silver) ?
Hi!
I have had my Touch Pro for about 18 months without any issues. I bought it SIM free and then inserted a SIM only SIM from O2.
Last week I moved to a SIM only deal from Vodafone. Now my phone reboots itself intermittently. This occurs during calls and when an incoming call is ringing it. I have never seen this behaviour prior to switching to the Vodafone SIM.
Things I have already tried...
- Getting a replacement SIM from Vodafone. This behaved the same way.
- Factory resetting the phone. This did not fix it.
I believe that I have a healthy phone and a healthy SIM. Any ideas about why they would not play nicely together?
Can it really be that this phone doesn't work on Vodafone? If so I might need to move back to O2, which would be crazy.
Thanks in advance.
Adam Burr
update
I have now moved back to O2 and my phone works perfectly again. Obviously, this is very strange!
Can anyone out there explain this?
Regards,
Adam
at least u know what 2 do when u want 2 restart your pda...just phone yourself.
Actually...i have no creative comments at all. Sorry.
has anyone used or is using a Dual Sim holder in a HTC Desire, or know of one that works/fits nicely?
I currently tuck an alternative sim between the battery and the back cover but have to take the battery out etc to exchange, would like a simpler solution.
lol same as me mate..i also keep spare 8gb card behind my case too been looking into this apparently it has to be 3g compatble ones- gonna take a punt and try one from ebay-will post a link and let you know results.
apparently some folks are using on nexus 1 so shouldnt be too difficult- also hypercard are selling some at £70(well euros) but not far off. fcuk that gonna look for cheaper alt.
Any news on this dread123 as its something i was thinking about too.
Ive never had any sucess with a dual sim, i just use a super sim in my desire so i can use three sims and dont mess around with any extra bits. Just 1 sim card thats it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714903
check there..got the dual sim working perfect now
hpsda and full 3g speeds..no call dropping ...no problems at all.able to switch from sim toolkit app on phone.
I am using Hypercard V3 which works on 3G too. It only reboots after switching too my vodafone card. Switching from vodafone to O2 no Problem works without reboot. You get a SIM Toolkit Icon on the Home Screen for switching.
Thanks for the replies guys, time to do a bit of reading up

Seems i was given false information, was told super sims dont work on uk sim cards so i gave up on that option.
Hi, has anybody bought a dual sim card for their Galaxy (im in the UK). I am aware of the login I wil have to do with google voice when I switch but how do I setup the APNs and do they allow to answer calls on both sims or do I have to swap between them ??
Thanks for looking
Cheers
Payneardo
Looking forward to that too.

I had one for my HTC Touch Diamond. I cutted my 2 sim cards into 2 little ones in order to fit the metal sim holder. I had 2 options: 1st i could switch the operators by pressing one assigned button. 2nd i could define timming to automaticaly switch. No way you can have 2 operators at the same time since galaxy dont have 2 antennas....

I've been thinking of buying one, but Simore don't seem to answer questions. Maybe you can help me. Do you have to manually switch the APN? And do you have to enter the Google account each time you switch?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Anyone tried dual sim adapter in Desire HD ???
I want to use Dual Sim in Desire HD, need some information.
thanks
Have you tried DUO sim?
I have Ordered Duo Sim. Expect to come by next week. Just curious, if somebody has already tried.
dual sim adapter
I ordered this one http://www.mobileguru.co.uk/acatalog/Twin_SIM.html#a26 . Comunication with them is very poor. 1st one didnt work, had to get paypal intervention to get a replacement. Second one didnt work, just comes up on the screen 'INSERT SIM' Still waiting on a reply from them.
Just bought a dual sim chinese phone instead. Only use it with my worldsim while on holiday...not for a 'skank' sim
Please keep us posted on that DUO sim!!
I got a MAGICSIM 28th plus working on this. Took a little fiddling but it's working nicely now.

How exactly does it work ??
yeah id like more info too as i should be a proud owner of a DHD hopefully if it arrives tomorrow and will be looking for some sort of dual sim option
I would like to know if it works or not.

It was pretty simple. You cut down your sims (which is dead easy and straightforward) then insert as you would your normal sim. Then a sim tool kit menu appears which let's you manage switching of sims etc.
Working brilliantly on my Desire HD now.
One thing to bear in mind is that the MAGICSIM item comes with 2 diff metal sleeves and you need to use the thinner one with the rivets in.
Hope this helps guys!
So... no 2 sims at the SAME TIME right?
No both sims arn't active at the same time. I switch between them.
Oh... Pointless

MagicSim is the best available in the market. Rest are just crap.
They still don't allow us to have 2 sims operating at same time.
So it's pointless I need to receive and make calls on both sims!
Need two phones really...
Hmm. shame we can't have two cards same time..
this ****ed up to put a dual SIM?
why would you need 2 sim cards on a high end phone?...
Better Dont use the dual sim adapter

@Topic: do you have any issues by switching between the sim cards?
