Background:
I don't know how widely used iBurst is, but here in South Africa it is a wireless 1 mbps broadband connection which runs of a usb device or a PCMCIA card. Lately 3G has also become available though the various cellular providers.
Question:
1. Does anyone know if and where I can find a SDIO iBurst card
2. or 3G SDIO Card
I have searched but did not find anything.
Is there a 3G SD card available?? Anyone??
Hi,
I don't think there is going to be SDIO 3G device. Since 3G require new mobile Radio and is also incorporated into the mobile Radio. I know that you can get PCMCIA 3G.
Regards,
Kueh.
a 3g SDIO card would not require a new radio being that the radio would be on the SDIO card what would the purpos of the SDIO card be otherwise ?
i havent seen any myself maybe they havent gotten them small enough
maybe people could use the backpack and use a CF 3g card
imho then it would be more trouble and more expensive then it was worth

Since the euro 3G version has launch, most of the US here either use a WIFI or the CDMA with the missing PCIE HSDPA card...
Now, I'm wondering what card are they using? Will it work if we manage to get the card install and flash the 3G firmware to it..will it enable the function??
Any insight?
Thanks!
I would bet that the UMTS model doesn't have a card; why would it? It would permit UMTS models to get the LTE upgrade in future as well.
Regardless, there's teardown threads elsewhere showing that trying to graft 3G onto a Wi-Fi model is going to be prohibitively difficult with respect to hardware.
Hello all,
i got my Xoom from my friend. He told me that it is a WIFI Xoom. it is mz604 but it has a Sim Card hole ?
What does it for ? i live in Turkey. is it for 4g or cdma only or it is only for decoration ?
i succesfully flashed Turkey FW and mobile network is disabled. i checked out Turkish xoom when you take out sim card its mobile network is disabled too.
i wonder that sim card socket is working or not ? if it is working i can transfer it to 3g (i think) but if it is cdma or 4G or whatelse it is only a fantasy.
What do you think guys ?
The SIM card slot is not connected to anything in the WIFI Xooms, however, the SD card slot is in that same area.
hello all
i have a 3g verizon xoom but im outside us.
here we have only gprs and and edge in 2g networks. no 3g yet (hehe but we have 2 wimax operators)
so i cannot use my sim card in my tablet, as i know it does not have the required hardware.
as i understand from forum posts, in 4g upgrade they will install a new mini-pci-e hardware and reinstall a new version of android.
may i buy that mini-pci-e card myself and install it? then can i use my 2g sim card on tablet for gprs or edge?
im in iran and cannot send xoom to motorola.
is there anyway to use sim card in tablet? with/without hardware upgrade
Hello all
i have a verizon 3g xoom. it's not upgraded yet. i live outside us
about the UK 3g xoom, can it operate 2g sim card? for sms, gprs or ...
how about normal 3g sim cards?
is there any hardware difference between mine and uk one?
may i operate my 2g sim card on my xoom? how about 3g?
when i put sim card nothing happen. i just tried 2g sim card
our 3g operator is not started selling sim cards ... but we have 4g operator.
if i install uk xoom's rom on my own, can i use sim card?
is there any mini pci-e card that i can use my sim card with it? (self upgrade xoom with custom mini-pci-e)
please help me. i need some information. i'm confused.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263634
how about this thread? i've done that but dont work for me. there is no signal, i think it didnt recognized my sim card.
if i install the mini-pci-e card that motorola installs on xoom during upgrade, can i use sim card for 2g/3g ? (sms or internet)
i have found this : "If you bought your Xoom from Verizon, it will have no SIM card slot. Verizon's CDMA network doesn't use SIM cards. Also, if you bought the Verizom model, it will only work on Verizon, and not another carrier. There is also a WiFi-Only Xoom, and it does not have a SIM slot."
here : "http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/53440/Why+I+can%27t+find+3G+SIM+Slot+in+my+Motorola+Xoom"
but mine have sim slot with a plastic sim on it.
The Verizon 3G Xoom does have a sim card slot but no hardware inside to read the sim card. That is what the 4G upgrade was for, to install the hardware necessary to utilize the sim card for the Verizon 4G LTE network.
I don't know if anyone has gotten a Verizon Xoom working on any other carriers network.

Hi,
I have a dual sim Honor 6 that has been imported from China.
I bought the phone for this set up - 4g data card in sim 1 for data only (can get 90 days 6gb for £15.00) and a cheap 3g card in slot 2 for calls and messages at £3.75 a month. total outlay for 4g, calls and messages = £8.75 a month which suits my needs very well.
I got my data card yesterday and registered it with the provider.
This is the problem I have - neither of my sims works well at all in slot 2 for data - speeds of 0.12Mbps on each card at best.
When I have each sim individually in slot 1 without the other card present I get 50Mbps on the 4g data card and 13Mbps on my 3g card.
When I then introduce my 3g card into slot 2 to sit along side the 4g data card that is in slot one the 4g speed drops from 50Mbps down to 4Mbps.
Clearly, what I would like is to get 50Mbps and take texts and calls on my 3g card and I am stumped as to why this is not happening
Has anyone had a similar experience or even not and have the knowledge of how to fix this problem?
I've contacted Honor UK and they politely said that they can't/won't help as it is a Chinese import. My data and telephony providers have no idea and suggest that there is an issue with the phone.
Cheers
Nigel

Second sim slot supports 2g only. That means EDGE network speeds, that translates into a maximum 238kbps theoretically.
Hope this helps

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I'm coming to the conclusion after doing some more digging that the 3g card that i have in slot 2 is conflicting with the 4g card in slot 1.
I think what I need to do now is get a 2g only card and test that along side the 4g card.
That's my next problem - do any providers do 2g only cards as nearly all plans these days have some sort of data attached to them.
Can the mobile provider switch off the data part of the 3g card if i can't get hold of a 2g card?

As far as I know, it doesn't matter what kind of sim card do you use. If the sim is in the second slot, phone will automatically use 2g for network data and calls.
If you're hoping for better data speeds on second sim card, it's not possible using this phone.
