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 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

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

Hi
I have recently bought a SIM Card Reader which does not Recognise my HTC HD7 Windows 7 SIM, but does work fine with other SIMs I have. Now I have never used a card reader before so may well be doing something wrong. Two things that make me wander if the reader is faulty or I am not using the correct software is that; it was a very cheap reader; and the sims that were read appeared to have very little data on them - possibly because the contacts were saved to the phone not sim?
In any case, it would not read my sim for the HTC at all.
Does anyone know if this is normal for a windows 7 sim or do I need a different / replacement reader?
thanks

SIM cards are of a standardized format and are not different in different devices. Otherwise that defeats the purpose of being able to easily swap SIM cards between devices.
Either the SIM card is damaged or the reader may be faulty, or other unknown issues.
its normal that you cant read your wp7 phone sim card, since your phone locked it with some undocumented functions and encrypted it with a password aswell. the only way to make your sim card readable right now is to find someone with a nokia phone, format your sim card on that phone ( since those seem to be the only ones that are able to read the sim card ) and then it should be readable by your reader.

I think you're confusing SIM card with the micro SD card. Completely different.
ups, my bad. ignore my post. i'm sorry for posting that bull****.
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
Wondering if anyone can help, im using team Eos European 3g rom zoom. now i tried 1 sim card and the 3g works perfectly but when i try my other sim, i enter the pin code on screen , it accepts it, then immediately says "Sim card removed, the mobile network will be unavailable until you restart...." .
The sim card definitely isnt broken because it works in my phone and 3g modem on my pc. I've tried restarting the xoom with Wifi off and no luck.
Thanks

how old is that "other" sim card? Reason I'm asking is that sim cards use different voltages and old cards tend to cause problems in modern devices.
Around here, providers usually swap sims for free if you say that you've got a problem with one, so I'd go for an exchange if your sim is older that maybe two years...

Its actually brand new, got it on the weekend. It works perfectly everywhere else. I think i'll go to the provider anyway today and see if i can try a sim swap.
This really is baffling me now. I went back to the providers store and tried a different one of their sim cards and it doesnt work either. I just cant understand why my xoom can read certain providers sim cards and not others? (Its definitely not network locked). Could it possibly be the type of sim card (as in a 32k vs 64k etc)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I visited my sister in Germany and she gave me a Vodafone branded Xoom2 UMTS (MZ616). I was able to flash it with ICS and everything works great.
I got a new sim card from ATT (I live in ghe US)and put it into the tablet. This is were my issues start.
I see no APNs. When I add an APN it disappears or I cannot save it.
I tried everything. Sometimes when I try to manually search for the network ATT pops up. When I select it, it will show bars for a short time or i may get a "sim not authorized for this network error.". When I add data roaming, it may shows the ATT APNs for a short time.
I also get an error when trying to add a simlock I get a "no sim card" error.
I am stumped. I searched the various forums and I get a lot of inconsistent info.
Is this issue related to the tablet being locked? Does that even matter? Is this some sort of region issue? Do I need to unlock the bootloader or should I use a different ROM?
I do not think the sim card is faulty.
Any help appreciated.
Sim Card Size????
So I compared the old Vodafone sim card with the 'new' AT&T sim card. The plastic outline of both cards seesm to be micro. However, the gold plated contacts on the new cards are definitely micro sim, but the old Vodafone card seems to be old school size (not sure what that size is called). If the size of the gold plated material matters, then this may be may issue. Like I said, above, when I first boot into the tablet with the new sim card I will have bars for a short time, but they disappear and the sim card does not seem to be recognized.
Can someone knowledgeable on sim card size matters as they pertain to the Xoom2 please weigh in and let me know if this is the issue?
I took a pic of the sim cards. From left to right: Old Vodafone sim, new AT&T sim, 2FF (mini sim card) for size comparison.
Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks! Thread moved.
