Does anyone know of a dual SIM that fits in and works with Touch Diamond???
Why not use an N-in-1 card that allows you to clone a SIM? I find dual SIM's to decrease battery life on WinMo devices. A Ghost SIM should fit perfectly fine however.
Hi there,
I tried the dual sim adaptors from hot-wire-telekom.
I tried both
the digital:
hot-wire explains that this can cause problems - and it doesnot work
the analog:
should work - but it doesnot
I tried both with a Siemens S55 and it worked (digital version needs a lot of power - only about on third standby left).
I will have to contact the guys from hot-wire to ask what to do with the diamond.
To be continued...

Hmmm interesting... http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/dualsim/magicsim.htm like this?
Does STK stuff work with winMO 6.1 etc etc.
You sound like you know your stuff so as much info as poss would be super helpful...
many thanks
How about this one from Brando? I'm going to order one soon. It's not cheap($27+3 shipped) though.
It says can directly switch the sim from sim menu.
The STK should work fine in Windows Mobile. DX has them the cheapest and offers free wordwide shipping. I've purchased many things from them and am very happy with their service.

I tried the Magic one and it didn't work. It looks to me that those adaptors work with Nokia type phones only.

Bummer - there must be one that actually works like the 6-in-1 magic SIM
Apparently they can cause problems with 3G/HSDPA? Anyone noticed that?
I almost got one, but having to switch over from one SIM to another and then back to the other just to see if I've missed calls/SMS's etc seems like something that I'd grow tired of very quickly.
If the Diamond had two radios, and could use two SIM's simultaneously, then that would be nice...

Yes I agree - I have put the calls on divert from my Orange number to my 3 sim works a treat problem solved for now - I am seeing a growing trend in Dual Radio phones though. Two HSDPA connections at once... LOL maybe in future we will se channel bonding
Now that would be interesting... It cant be too far off. To be honest, for so many years people have carried two cell phones, (some people more than two!) that I find it kind of strange no-one has tapped that market yet... These SIM adapters are the best attempt at solving the issue, but they just create more issues... I ended up porting my personal number to my work account so I could be done with the whole thing and just have one phone and one number I would have preferred a dual radio phone though!
I have an analog one, which works perfectly. i believe it's the magic sim 1st gen adapter... no problems with hsdpa or anything else
I have one in my Diamond just now, which I previously bought for my iPhone.
I don't know what Generation it is, but its a ghost SIM which you cut your 2 SIM cards and fit into one. I simply turn the celular radio off and on to switch network - either that or reboot the device.
N to 1 sims ?
The problem with all the N to 1 sims (including magicsim) is that you can only clone V1 sim cards (sim cards delivered before 2002 with some countries/operators variations).
Modern sim cards are almost always V2 or V3 versions and for the moment there aren't clonable (august 2008) !!! Trying to clone a V2 or V3 sim card for using a N to 1 sims will in most cases block your sim card defnitively So today the interest of such multisims cards are limited ....
(for myself i had the chance to keep old V1 sim cards and using diamond now with silvercard with sim emu containing two sim clones ....)
I got an answer from hot-wire-telekom for the digital and analog 2-in-1 sim adaptor.
The digital one will not work with PDAs at all.
The analog one should work but there can be problems and the adaptor will not fit perfect. So I should try tape and pieces of paper to make the sim fit in the slot.
I tried it for about one hour and it only worked with one card but did not display the second.
Will take another hour tonight...
Try SIMORE dual sim
anyone who prefer 2 in1 SIM should give SIMORE product a try.. I have it in my Diamond and it works smoothly...

Hi guys,
Am thinking about getting one of these :- http://www.pdamods.com/products.asp?cat=14
Anyone got one already?
Does it work well?
How do you switch from one sim to the other?
Thanks! All help appreciated. :roll:
I use it all the time i did a review at
http://www.tekguru.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2444&highlight=dual+sim+card
works brill everytime turn it off then turn it back on up comes other sim card
Thanks for dual sim revue
Thanks Jim,
I was just about to buy this dual sim, when I checked the forum & saw your revue. The crucial bit was where you have to divert to receive! As I work most of the year touring through 12-13 countries a week, this would not work as one sim is work & other is mine. this would mean that I would have to pay the bulk of any incoming work calls when my sim was on. And work would have to pay for mine when it was on.
So it looks like it's back to 2 phones, 2 kits, 2 chargers etc.
Ain't technology wonderful! :roll: :lol:
I use this all the time and the good thing is that you can switch between sims without turning your phone off - all you do is turn off flight mode and turn it on again.
good afternoon every one
i have a letle problem, i've buey a dual sim simore, anthis works fine withe my SEp990 but with my Tinity don't, it says me no sim card, the configuration of my trinity is in my signature

In Australia, the Hutchison 3 Network is a 3G network and as such uses Telstra's 2G to support it when there is no 3G coverage.
That being said, Hutchison 3 use a type of hybrid Sim card that doesnt work with any of these dual sim devices.
Another example of this odd sim card choice is that it renders all Mercedes Benz owners who have Bluetooth Car kits useless. (I spent literally days testing) and this is because even though the Bluetooth will pair up, the MB car kits try to use a 2G antenna connection to get onto the network. Even though it ends up using the phones internal antenna.
Is '3' in Europe strictly a 3G network? Because im at a total loss as to why the MB would do this.
It may seem off topic but its related enough to be shared here. (although it probably could have its own thread)
I can't say anyhing about he hybrid sim you are talking, but simore dual sim works with 3g sim.
3 in Italy is only 3g, I do not know in the rest of europe
It's quite weird your experience with the MB CK, I tryed several time with no issues...

Hi,
Could you try something for me.
Set your handset to 3G only, then see if you can connect to the MB CK.
If you can, then i will have to put it down to the Hybrid SIM.
Thanks

Hello
For me it is working fine, but before I had the problem until I remove the pin code pin on my sim card.
Means install the sim card to a normal phone and remove the pin code for the sim car. Plug it again into simore hardware and try again.
Hope that it well solve your problem
For phone call and sms it wrking fine, I still have issue to switch internet from one sim card to on other one. The last point is that you have to root your phone to use internet (but internet not working well)
No need to root if you want to use only phone call and sms

has anyone used or is using a Dual Sim holder in a HTC Desire, or know of one that works/fits nicely?
I currently tuck an alternative sim between the battery and the back cover but have to take the battery out etc to exchange, would like a simpler solution.
lol same as me mate..i also keep spare 8gb card behind my case too been looking into this apparently it has to be 3g compatble ones- gonna take a punt and try one from ebay-will post a link and let you know results.
apparently some folks are using on nexus 1 so shouldnt be too difficult- also hypercard are selling some at £70(well euros) but not far off. fcuk that gonna look for cheaper alt.
Any news on this dread123 as its something i was thinking about too.
Ive never had any sucess with a dual sim, i just use a super sim in my desire so i can use three sims and dont mess around with any extra bits. Just 1 sim card thats it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714903
check there..got the dual sim working perfect now
hpsda and full 3g speeds..no call dropping ...no problems at all.able to switch from sim toolkit app on phone.
I am using Hypercard V3 which works on 3G too. It only reboots after switching too my vodafone card. Switching from vodafone to O2 no Problem works without reboot. You get a SIM Toolkit Icon on the Home Screen for switching.
Thanks for the replies guys, time to do a bit of reading up

Hi,
Anyone tried dual sim adapter in Desire HD ???
I want to use Dual Sim in Desire HD, need some information.

Have you tried DUO sim?
I have Ordered Duo Sim. Expect to come by next week. Just curious, if somebody has already tried.
dual sim adapter
I ordered this one http://www.mobileguru.co.uk/acatalog/Twin_SIM.html#a26 . Comunication with them is very poor. 1st one didnt work, had to get paypal intervention to get a replacement. Second one didnt work, just comes up on the screen 'INSERT SIM' Still waiting on a reply from them.
Just bought a dual sim chinese phone instead. Only use it with my worldsim while on holiday...not for a 'skank' sim
Please keep us posted on that DUO sim!!
I got a MAGICSIM 28th plus working on this. Took a little fiddling but it's working nicely now.

How exactly does it work ??
yeah id like more info too as i should be a proud owner of a DHD hopefully if it arrives tomorrow and will be looking for some sort of dual sim option
I would like to know if it works or not.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
It was pretty simple. You cut down your sims (which is dead easy and straightforward) then insert as you would your normal sim. Then a sim tool kit menu appears which let's you manage switching of sims etc.
Working brilliantly on my Desire HD now.
One thing to bear in mind is that the MAGICSIM item comes with 2 diff metal sleeves and you need to use the thinner one with the rivets in.
Hope this helps guys!
So... no 2 sims at the SAME TIME right?
No both sims arn't active at the same time. I switch between them.
Oh... Pointless

MagicSim is the best available in the market. Rest are just crap.
They still don't allow us to have 2 sims operating at same time.
So it's pointless I need to receive and make calls on both sims!
Need two phones really...
Hmm. shame we can't have two cards same time..
this ****ed up to put a dual SIM?
why would you need 2 sim cards on a high end phone?...
Better Dont use the dual sim adapter

Hi all,
I am now the proud owner of an AM7. However, I have a problem! I cannot get the 2nd sim card to work. The phone only shows bars for the Micro Sim - the Nano Sim is not showing anywhere.
Is there something I am suppose to do to activate the Nano Sim or should it pick it up automatically? Also - I had real problems getting the Nano Sim to fit in the 2nd tray - it seemed a fraction too big. Did anyone else experience this??
Thanks!!

Hello,
Do you have the 16GB/2GB Ram or the 32GB/3GB Ram version of the AM7?
Based on the reviews I checked, the feature of using 2 sims is only limited to the 32GB/3GB Ram version

No I have the International 16GB/2GB however I am almost certain i've seen details saying the dual sim is available on both models. Personally not once have I seen anything to say it was only limited to the 3GB Gold version and I did alot of phone researching.
I really hope this isn't the case anyway!!
Thanks a lot

The nano sim is perfectly sitting in the tray. You should place the sim according to the cut side. The terminals of the sim should face above. May be your nano sim is not cut properly? Is this sim coming as nano sim from the company or you have cut it?
I am having the same problem in sim one. It was working well but now it is not detecting anymore. I think in my case the slot terminals have dislodged.

Hi and thanks for the help. The sim was cut ever so marginally to fit into the tray - however I am surprised I had to trim it at all? When I put it back into my company iPhone it still works. It certainly looks like the sim is sitting correctly but the phone has not detected it once. I'll try again later tonight.
I am concerned though that the 16GB/2GB International version does not support dual sim - only the gold 32GB/3GB version - but as I mentioned above i've never seen this written anywhere anywhere.
Do I assume there is nothing that needs to be 'switched on'??
You should see two sim toolkits in applist. Always, not only if there are 2 cards inserted. You could check build.prop and local.prop for dual sim entries. All should be true. And well 2gg model is single sim normally. Only Chinese models and gold model are dual sim. Maybe you could make it work with patching prop files.
I do have a sim toolkit app but it will not open. So everything seems to indicate the international version does not support dual sims. So disappointing - oh well...... ebay here we come...
Thanks a lot...

It may be too late but in phone menu, could you try keying in *#06# and if 2 IMEIs display, then it should be dual sim.
