Hi there
I have got a MDA Vario, and have got my personel T-Mobile sim card in there, the MDA is unlocked and I want to be able to use my work sim card jointly with this
I have seen dual sim card holders, but I would like to know
1) Are they any good?
2) Do they work?
3) What features do you loose
4) Can you make and recieve calls on both sim cards
Thanks
Tim
Dual SIM
I have not used dual sim on PDA - however my previous experience with dual sim is the following:
- Have to turn off device to change between the 2 SIM cards.
So with the PDA I presume a simple GRPS off and on would be sufficient.
- Cannot use BOTH SIM at once - have to choose one at a time.
Only good thing about dual sim is that you don't have to remove the battery - other than that I don't see the big benefits to be honest.
Hope the above helps - let us know how you get on with finding one suitable for your PDA and your findings.
Thanks

I need to get a dual sim adaptor for my Orange SPV M700 to try and reduce my roaming charges.....
I've looked through the various threads, but am unable to reach a conclusion.
Can I please ask a couple of questions?
I need an adaptor that supports 3g sims and 3g services?
Also, if I go back to single sim with, I assume an adaptor supplied, am I still 3g with my original sims?
Thanks

multisim
try getting a multisim card (6 in 1), you can put 6 or more different sim cards in it and switch numbers using the stk software
thanks for the reply. looked into that sort of stuff - just browsing online.
my problem is that my sims are very new. orange for Uk and amena for spain.
is there a way to read the KI codes, etc without trashing the sims?
cheers
paul
it comes with a sim reader and software. you can get the KI codes from your original sim card and encode it to the multisim card. tried it on several sim card and it doesn't trash the original ones.

Pay attention that in the newer cards they have some new firmware version
that it's not possible to read the KI codes, you will brick the sim card.
I just bought a merge off ebay and its a US Cellular. I can not get my sim card to work in it (Mobile Network is uncheckable)
This phone is a replacement of my old merge which broke, they have the same model numbers on the back and everything.
Any ideas of where to start so i can get my GSM/sim to work in my new phone?
have you tried your sim card in another US cellular phone to isolate the problem, as in to see if its the phone thats messed up or your sim card (assuming they use sim cards, I thought they were CDMA?). If it doesn't work in another US cellular phone, odds are your sim is messed. Anyways I'm not too familiar with US cellular but maybe there is a block on the phone? Was the sim card you were using before a US cellular sim or are you coming from another company?
the merge is a cdma phone for us use. the sim card is for international use. if your trying to use the sim card for a local company it wont work...
You can use it with your sim after you sim unlock it and flash a different radio, you can do so using this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16211361&postcount=117
Okay so I bought Panasonic NTT docomo P-05D DisneyMobile. It's unlocked, at least should be BUT my 3 network micro-sim card doesn't work. I tried different cards o2 (one of the 1st sim cards I just cut it and it works - UK) as well as 2 Polish cards Play and Orange which worked too. I live in UK and obviously there is nothing to do that it doesn't work in my country. I want the three network to work.
The phone is 3G phone and the card I use only works on 3G phone which shouldn't be a problem. The card works fine on other phone.
Could it be possibly something wrong with the system that needs to be re-installed or that it might not be unlocked properly?
I really don't want to get rid of the phone, I love it but it's a shame that my sim card doesn't work.
I am about to get the phone once it is processed. I am using an old galaxy s 4g with a regular sim card. I also have a 2 year old unused micro sim card. I wanted to know if it's best cutting the regular card to a micro sim card or activate the old unused micro sim card. Or do I have to get a newer micro sim card from t-mobile. If I do either the first two methods, will I still have lte even though they are not the newer sim cards? I have read that even if you activated the newer sim cards at a tmobile store that people didn't still get 4g(Lte) but instead got the H/H+. Others are saying that the phone or the account needs to be provisioned. I am under as an added line under my mothers account which is only a few months old if that matters. Thanks in advance.
T-Mobile doesn't need any provision. If I was you, I would personally just get a new Micro SIM, you ensure that you have the newest and latest SIM card which will ensure that you'll have the best possible experience in LTE data and cellular signal.
Call them up and they'll give you a free SIM replacement in the mail, or you can go to the store. Very easy to do.
If you did cut your sim card into a micro sim, you wouldn't get LTE with that old of a SIM card. Enjoy your phone.
To get LTE you will need an LTE enable/capable SIM card, so get a new one from Tmobile
Hey.
I only found out about this "second physical SIM card reader is disabled" issue after I bought my S21+ here in Australia. Even after swapping the single SIM tray to a dual SIM tray it wouldn't work.. which was then explained over here at GSMarena.
I was getting my hopes up that with a dual SIM card tray and flashing the right ROM, I would be able to use both my physical SIM cards but I seem unable to find the one that would help to achieve this.
Has anyone else come across this and was successful in enabling that second reader?
P.S. I'd prefer to use a European ROM in the end but I'm at the point where if I can't enable via flash, I will return and hope to find a S21+ somewhere else that comes with dual physical enabled ootb.
P.P.S. Currently on G996BXXU3BUKG, XSA

Hi there, have you ever figured out a way to use the second SIM slot? I am facing the same issue with a US S22. I can see the physical SIM card connections under a microscope and bought a dual sim tray but no second SIM shows up under "SIM card manager"

Howdy.
I wasn't able to get the second one working, not with with the dual sim tray and any ROM.
For me, it ended up with a return and getting one from Europe where the dualSIM came ootb and worked right away.
Sorry, no revelations from me.
Best of luck
Thank you for your response. I am sorry it didn't work for you in the end.
It really is a shame, in my opinion, for Samsung to put up those restrictions on the device, especially if it already ships with the hardware in it.
