Hi all
I have tryed two different dual SIM adaptors on TyTN and none of them works.
I've tried this one: (no cut)

And this one: (cut)
I've also heared that you loose 3G capabilies of your SIM cards when you put them on a dual sim adaptor, you can only use 2G. Anyone knows if this is true?
Anyone having good experience with dual sim adaptors on TyTN? Which models have you tried?
Are there not different contacts on a USIM ? While they may be backward compatable you would need a dual USIM adapter to get 3G.
Also just because a GSM phone may work with a USIM and a UTMS phone may work with a SIM it does not necessarily mean that a USIM will work in a UTMS phone when only making SIM contacts.

Now i dare you to say that after a few pints!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Have you tried any like the New Ghost dual sim? About half way down this page:
http://www.freeyourmobile.biz/acatalog/dual_sim_cards_.html?gclid=CJjAtYq-w4YCFTBrEAodK02YUA
Says it is 3G compatible. And there is a menu version where you can change sims through java (I think)
Would be interested in knowing if you get anywhere - just got a payasyougo tmobile sim for when I decided to download lots on the tytn!
The ghost dual sim is the one I have, but it is an older version which has no menu, it is the model where you have to swich the phone off and on again.
Anyone tried with a newer version of it?
I was thinking HTC universal is 3G also, so Universal users should have had the same problems we're having with those adaptors. Any experiences on it?
If it says its USIM compatable then it should work. If you look at the link posted it is only the latest ones that are.
Mine is the one called "Standard Universal dual sim" on freeyourmobile.biz, it says "Recommended for use with most XDA, MDA, Jasjar PDA's & 3G (USIM) SIM cards."
I tried it with TyTN using 1 SIM and 1 USIM and no luck, while it works fine on my old BlueAngel.

If you click on "More Information" it says

there's a thread here that talks of the universal success with 2 USIMs. The ghost Dual SIM adapter is being used.

Also, a today plugin called Wivit SIM status switcher is used.

I just bought another HTC Touch Pro 2 (HTC RhodiumW CDMA + GSM) for Sprint (CDMA + EVDO) in the US on eBay and this phone once again came with an obviously missing Sprint Worldwide SIM Card (for GSM networks) (PDF Instructions) because the plastic credit card holder had the SIM card removed.
I got the first seller to send me the missing card and now I am having the second seller send me the SIM card also, only after complaining that they promised the card in their auction lists but failed to ship them.
I am concerned now that this happened twice, exactly the same way, so I'm wondering if there is some kind of a SIM Card scam or security issue going around that I should worry about? SIM card cloning maybe? Or SIM card being linked to phone and cloned to charge me for phone calls?
(Excuse my ignorance, but I've been a happy CDMA + EVDO network user for 10-years+ so I'm not familiar with SIM card security that's why I'm reaching out to more knowledgeable people like yourselves.)
I am aware of the fact that Sprint overcharges on their Worldwide International Rates so I won't be using their service overseas since I can just buy a pre-paid SIM card on a local network there for pennies on the dollar. I am also aware of the fact that this phone cannot use SIM Cards here in the US because it is SIM locked, and I know about Olipro's SIM unlocking web site that I plan to use on one phone but the other phone is already SIM unlocked according to the owner.)

I don't see your problem way do you want that sim card and not your own simcard (I know you normally don't use a simcard).
only pre-paid phones are sold with a card (In a shop) .
I have an unlocked AT&T Skyrocket SGH-I727 that is very picky about which SIM cards it accepts. I have seen a few similar forums, but nothing that fixes or seem directly applicable so want to start a new discussion.
No SIM Card
Similar problem but I'm not locked to any particular network, rather it is a few networks that work, a few that don't (all GSM).
No sim card error?? Any solutions??
My problem isn't no signal, it's no SIM.
"No sim" issue on Skyrocket
SIM card tray in my phone doesn't appear to be loose.
No signal after sim unlock
Not working at all, no solution.
I was running Cyanogen Mod with no problem on China Unicom (could use also China Mobile 2G) but on a trip last month to Bolivia was surprised that the phone doesn't accept any of the local SIM cards (such as Tigo, a GSM network) while an HTD Status and my backup SGH-i777 worked with all of these networks.
I tried a few different ROM's before flashing the i727 phone back to stock using Odin. Other than installing Team Win Recovery v2.2.0, it's plain stock, not even rooted. See below:
Android version 4.0.4
Baseband version Unknown
Kernal version 3.0.8
Build number IMM76D.UCLF6
While back in the US I tried several other cards, including an AT&T SIM, Straight Talk (actually from AT&T) and it also said no SIM. I've found that the China Unicom SIM works perfectly and a few others (see photo below) consistently work fine. I'd really like to get the phone working again on all of these GSM networks like my i777, HTC and i9300 do.
I've tried flashing three radios Radio_RIL__I727ATTKJ2, Radio_RIL__I727ATTKK1, Radio_RIL__I727RUXKJ7 but other than making T-Mobile 3G work, haven't helped me use any of the other SIMs.
Can anyone help with this? Should I be flashing another radio, replacing a part of the hardware (warranty isn't an option)? I'll buy a case of Redbull, Guinness or similar if I can get this working.

read returning to stock sticky, perform a reset afterwards, if still having issues, then either faulty phone, like sim tray or its contacts, or the unlocked method was fracked up in one way or another, try the free unlock method and see what happens, its in the 1stop sticky
Hello, I'm trying to clear something up once and for all, I bought a dual sim tray off amazon for my US Unlocked Note 20 Ultra, put two sims in it and inserted it in the phone. However absolutely nothing different happened, only the bottom sim (1) was recognized. I am wondering if the US Note 20 does not physically support two sims (or is these some trick to enable it in software, rooted or not)? If anyone knows for sure, please let me know!
Also on eSim functionality, I am able to get into the CSC menu but it only shows US codes, currently it looks like mine is set to TMB (despite it being unlocked straight from samsung), why do I not have any options for eSim (TMB is supposed to I think)?
Nope, only 1 Sim supported, pretty sure it doesn't have the hardware for two physical sims. Also even though you have T-Mobile csc on your unlocked, you need to flash T-Mobile firmware to use esim. (Essentially turning your U1 into a U. esim won't work on unlocked firmware.

Alright, thanks for the info on this!
This is hilarious.
I bought the 20 because it was widely advertised to have dual sim card support, which I want/need as E-sim is .. well, not really available yet.
So, all the advertisements for the phone everywhere list it as a dual sim card phone, but its not.
GG samsung. ffs. I'd have bought the standard note 20.
Only reason to keep the 20 ultra is the sim card support.
Which even then, the phone handles like crap.
The eSIM has finally been turned on for the unlocked Note 20 Ultra on UI 4.0 beta.

I am having problems with a SIM card that I received from a new company (Lycamobile). For some reason, my phone (Redmi 6) is unable to really connect to the operator's network. The SIM is detected, I can see the phone number in the SIM settings and everything, and even change the PIN if I want, but I have never managed to connect to their network, it says only emergency calls are available.

What I have tried so far:
- Remove and re-insert the SIM
- Restore APN to default settings
- Activate and deactivate plane mode
- Manually selecting the network (Lycamobile or Lycamobile 4G) in the SIM card settings
Moreover, I have an old mobile phone (Nexus 4), with exactly the same behavior. It never connects to the network and there's no signal. I even reseted that phone to factory defaults, to no avail.
However, my wife also uses the same company and has another lycamobile SIM card. If I insert her SIM (which is a bit older) in my phone, it works flawlessly. And If she inserts my SIM in her phone (and iPhone SE), it also works without any issues. Even more, if then I re-insert my SIM to my phone after she has used it, I get signal and the phone works for a few hours, until the network stops again.
I have been fighting with the company customer support for weeks, but they have not been helpful at all. They even sent me a new SIM card, in case the other was defective, but after activating it, I see no change at all.
You must also know that I bought this phone almost three years ago in the US to use it with that specific phone company, and it used to works just fine.
I think I have tried everything that I can think of. Maybe my device or my android version (9) are too old for newer SIM card? Do you think if I try another phone company I'll have the same issue? Maybe the only solutions is buying a new phone?

The first thing that came to my mind is the phone's network band capabilities.
Every time I buy a new phone I must be sure that it can work on all bands in my country and overseas.
I NEVER buy phones from the US because the network providers set up "monopoly" style network bands which only work with specific phones that only they sell.
Said that, I would go check your phone's manual and specifications and see what network bands it can connect to.
That "specific" company might have changed network bands like it is happening in Australia because they want people to keep buying phones.
Always buy phones labelled as "international" version!
That is most likely the problem, although according to the phone company, my phone should work in their network. I have checked the bands, and they do not seem to be compatible with the T-mobile network. But they should with the AT&T network, so now I have ordered a SIM from another company that uses that network, and I'll see...
MIne P7P only has a tray for one SIM and therefore ESIM making the claim this is a dual SIM phone. Are there any variants that will accept two physical SIM cards?

I am able to use dual via 1x esim and 1x physical. You can also use multiple esims but thats a no on 2x physical.
On the P6 Pro, I had used an ESim and physical sim. I even used 2 whatsapp using Shelter app. Alas, the app isn't working yet on the 7 Pro

You could use Island (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.island) instead of Shelter.

You have to use Shelter from F-Droid or Source direct, there is a newer version 1.8! This one is working on our P7P as i'm using it!

Can I change one of my physical sims into an Esim? I do not even know what that is.... I have 5 lines and only use 4 but I use the 5th for emergencies.
