Hi
Is there any way to have 2 SIM cards in our UNI´s?
Gracias
been wondering of that too. just bought a second hand uni to tried out
I had one for my universal last year and it worked well.
It involved trimming your sim card a bit but it comes with a template to use.
I got mine form ebay and think it was called something like Ghost Dual SIM?
I see this:
http://www.simore.ch/
I think that it is serious product (you can ask the company for special test)
I have this and I use up to 5 different numbers with no problem:

No, I can't have connected same time 2 phone numbers!
But alternative (having one number each time), I have the opportunity to have up to 16 different numbers (and networks), in the same SIM card.
I change from one to another number, through STK service, menu.

Thanks a lot. What products did you purchase? I understood in the web that you have to move some data using your pc from original sims into the sim they provide you.
I don't want to use a cut sim...

I bought the 'Supersim 16in1 SIM', which comes with a blank sim card that can hold up to 16 numbers, it has the programmer which can read the original SIM and then copy to the supersim card, and the nessesary software.

do you need to reset your device in order to activate other line?
does it support HSDPA?

No need to reset.
Just activate STK menu and choose desired line.
It supports UMTS (I don't know if it is the same or not as HSDPA)
Guys...i have checke Duosim and im impressed...
....but what if one of the local networks is 3G and the other is not?
please guys....any idea...
For that you have to have Duo-X2 (Cut sim) to use. This supports both GSM and 3G. I have ordered which is on its way. The supplier mentioned that both SIMs will be active with autoswitch function.
auto lock
i ve got a prob with ghost dual sim,
after using it, n still being inside my uni, sometime the device is auto locked with a password which i never have set.
only way to pass beyond this password is to reset the device.
any idea how to get rid of this ****.

Can networks actually tell what phone is being used to use the sim card?
Like, does the imsi number for example,contain this sort of information.
or is it purely stored seperately in imei
thanks in advance!!
yes the network identify by sim and imei nr.
if a phone is stolen the sim and imei are both blocked
leaving both of them unable to be used on the network
and any network in corporation with it
cheers..
so does the sim nr that gets sent to network say what phone its using, like 'Hey im in an omnia' or the numbers seperate?

i know att distinguishes just fine...within a few minutes of switching sim card to another phone, their corporate website register the type of phone the sim is inserted into. ofc, the phone must be charged and powered on...
what r u up to anyways!?
well, got mugged on holiday, but had taken sim card out to use phone on plane. Consequently used my sim in mates phone, but know some insurance companies wont replace phone if sim wasnt in it (absolutely daft imo), so wondewring if i claimed wehther theyd be able to tell if id put sim into another phone.
is it possible to use one sim for data and a 2nd sim for calls? or do you need to switch from using sim A 100% to sim B 100%?
if so, what kind of device/adapter would be able to accomplish this
TIA

I don't have any dual sim phone (I have never had one).. it just seemed like an interesting idea due to phone plans.. I currently have a note 2 - could I put in some dual sim adapter to get it to work like that?

Which is why you shouldn't purchase a non compatible phone, for use in another area?
This is why you shouldn't buy this phone from the scalpers. The chinese version does not support many of the worldwide bands that the "global" version of the phone does. My advice would be to try to sell it to someone who can use it and sign up on the OnePlus forums and wait for an invite for the CM version which supports the bands you need.
Get a new sim, sounds like an old sim that doesn't have the updated CellID info in it.
I had to change my 3 sim when I had my SGS4 as it wouldn't register because it was too old.

I had that happen to me on the interational one and felt quite dumb afterwards...
Make sure the SIM card tray is rotated DOWN so that the contacts on the sim card look to the back of the phone.
It will fit both ways (imho a very strange design choice) but with a tiny little space left when rotated the wrong way.
In other words: turn the phone on it's screen before inserting the sim card facing you.
I have _NO_ clue why the phone thinks it has a SIM card when obviously it cannot access it...

I just got this device, model D6633. Seems that it's just the same as regular Z3 except for dual SIM card. I was wondering if root will be achievable on this model once its out for the single SIM Z3?
Thanks! Fantastic phone by the way. best allrounder on the market
As my experience with Note 3 Duos, there is no differences in rooting and recovery conpare to 1 sim variant.
Ps: is Z3 Dual enable HSPA on both sim, OP?
Im actually curious about this as well as I have the opportunity to get the Dual sim version but need to root

Where did you buy it? Online? I'm looking for importing it from Poland, the only European country who looks to be receiving it.
How's the dual sim's functionality? For example when you receive or do a call or a SMS, is there a button to switch lines or what? Where do you put the second SIM? Is the flap bigger? Sorry for questions, never had a Sony Dual...

The microSD card is moved next to the charger which now has a bigger flap. Both SIMs go next to each other in the right side flap. I'm only using it with 1 SIM card right now, but on the Call buttons and so on there's a small "1" so I'm guessing if I had two SIM cards there would be two buttons or some way to make the call from whichever SIM you want. You cannot also use two simultaneous data connections. the whole setup is pretty neat to be honest. Loving this, can't wait to travel now. lol.
I bought it locally (I live in Beirut, Lebanon) for 800 USD. Pretty steep but that's the way things go around here.

Interesting, some questions:
1. are the sim, both NanoSIM?
2. both data connection simultaneous, means you can have double speed??? That would be awesome
3. Youyr version is 16GB? Any news if exist 32GB variant?

According to this only the D6616 has a 32GB option. That's disappointing as the D6603 will be the 'mainstream' model.

Could you change your sim to sim 2 slot and test 3G/HSPA with your phone? On my Note 3, sim 2 slot only work in 2G/Edge mode.
how is the battery life on the dual sim version? is it similar to the D6603?

I got 7 hours of screen on time and 20 hours of standby and I still had 9%. Unreal. All this without even Greenify and debloating.

That is inaccurate. check my post on page 1 containing a screenshot that clearly shows you can only use one SIM data connection.
Do you mean, that you can only use one connection at a time or that one slot is 2g/3g/4g and one is only 2g?

He misunderstand my meaning. He installed one sim and don't want to change sim slot to test. As Z3 D6633 manual: only one 3G/4G connection at a give time but on any slot/sim.
My Note 3 Duos has 1 slot can be used as 3G connection, another only for 2G

Hello,
I attempted to activate esim on t-mobile postpaid that did not go anywhere even though others have activated esim on pixel 3 before the t-mobile ban on postpaid accounts. T-mobile has stopped enabling esim on postpaid accounts for unknown reasons. It only enables esim on certain prepaid accounts and only on iphones.
Any other experiences with t-mobile or other carriers?
Confirmed working on Fi.

T-Mobile requires you use there app for esim. The iPhone is the only one that supports it at the Momment
I have T-Mobile and I was able to get the eSim activated on the 3a Xl . All I did was tell them I wanted to do a sim card swap and I provided the EID number. Took them a few minutes and they were done. BTW this was on a Postpaid account.

Did you use the full esim number - that is a very long number. Trying to duplicate your effort.

called t-mobile and gave them the full esim number. Then uses this guide. Works great!
https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/a4507u/esim_works_heres_how_to_activate/
I got it activated on my Pixel 3a XL through chat. They asked me why I was changing sims, and I just told them I wanted to try out esim. They said ok and did the swap. I'm postpaid.
It's easier through chat because of the long EID number.

I guess I've had really bad luck because I have not been able to get esim activated with chat twice. That's the way it goes we'll try again. It is hit and miss.
Thanks guys for the information. Did another chat this morning asking for sim activation. Did not mention esim. Completed in about 2 minutes did not even have to reboot my phone. Nice. I can use the physical sim slot for something else now.

I use an ATT MVNO Sim when I am not in a t-mobile area which is rare. I don't need two phones any more. One can do the same for the latest iPhone.
Actually there are other phones that have two sims like one plus, but two sim phones are rare in the USA but common in other countries. It has to do with the carriers. It would really nice if this feature discussed on the link below is included in android Q.
https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/...s-half-baked-dual-sim-support-to-the-pixel-3/
So two sims phones hopefully will become the norm in the USA since iPhone has this option and everyone copies Apple. Anyway I could be wrong but I think the Pixel had the esim before the iPhone.

I'm self employed and having dual sim is huge for me, no more having to carry two phone is big. This implementation sucks compared to real dual sim where you can have both active but it's still ahead of packing two phones around.

So at the moment, does your Pixel have DSDS capability? And if not (or before you enabled that functionality), are you at least able to take advantage of the physical sim slot by selecting it under network settings as the preferred option when you want to use the ATT network rather than the esim?
I had been using OnePlus phones with their dual SIM functionality for a long time by always keeping a T-Mobile SIM in one while using my China Mobile SIM in the other during my frequent trips into China. This enables me to keep a local number and avoid the internet censorship that is increasingly prevalent is most areas of the country.

Thanks for replying. However, I didn't really get an answer to what I was looking for. I had also previously read the article in Android Police and I know what DSDS is. My previous OnePlus operated as such. The article suggests that DSDS is no longer an option unless you elected it in an earlier beta release. HOWEVER, I only want to know whether you are able to choose one or the other between your eSIM and your physical SIM slot? You will not get both signals at the same time. I understand that. But I'm just interested to see if I can elect via Settings to choose either the eSIM or a separate SIM card and use that one only.
With respect to the contents of the evil42.com article, I fortunately don't have those problems. Thanks for your help.
