Dual number Sim card

I am about to get a dual number Sim card for my phone, that is two phone numbers on one sim card simultaneously.
Now I know my really really old Motorola phone from 4 years ago had a simple function that translated the two numbers into "line 1" and "line 2" with ability to set different ringtones, etc for incoming calls and switching easily to make outgoing calls.
Does anyone know how this works on a Windows Mobile device? What kind of functionality does it provide?
I am running a Herald with WM6.
I would be interested too. I have a 8525 Cingy.
Phony-- Where did you get the Dual Line SIM? What carrier are you with? Will they activate more than 1 line on same SIM number?
DaddyGoFast, I am in China with China mobile but most carriers these days will provide you wih two numbers on one sim card if you just ask. Just call your service number.
There are other utilities you can buy that allow you to have multiple carriers or numbers on one sim card but those require that you switch by cycling power or using a piece of software, so in reality you can only use one number at a time.

[Q] D2G was unlocked by turbosim. but it have problems..

Hello.
I bought D2G from ebay last month.
It was locked and has bad ESN.
And I unlocked D2G using turbo sim card from ebay.
That item number is 200539432676 and you can search it just type "no cut unlock sim card".
And maybe you can unlock it follow these steps.
0. You need prepare local carrier's sim card, another local phone, D2G
1. Put your sim card in local cellphone and turn on. After it receive signal, pull out the battery and your sim card. (Do not turn off the cellphone before pull out the batt. and sim)
2. Put your sim card on locked D2G with turbosim.
3. Turn on D2G and change the network mode (if you need) and set up the APN
4. Check the data roaming
Settings - Wireless & networks - Data manager - Data delivery - Data roaming
After that, My D2G work with roaming mode. I can use calling, text messaging and 3G internet service thru GSM/UMTS mode.
(I'm living in South Korea and local carrier provide wcdma hsdpa service.)
But my unlocked D2G have two problems.
1. When I use other local sims with turbosim, it's not work. I guess this turbosim
has compatible problem. (Maybe newer sim will not work.)
2. I only can receive incoming call and message(text and MMS) when my D2G was connected on "H"(Hsdpa). I cannot receive that things when signal turned to "3G".
I cannot use D2G for main phone.. Is there any way to connect HSDPA only? I tried to find some apps for do that, but there is no apps for it. If anyone know about the way, Please help me!
Thanks for read my post and please understand my poor english skill
TurboSIM is not the way to go. There are problems with incoming calls not going thru, losing service every now and then/etc
You should really try to unlock the phone by code. Have you tried online unlockers? You may be lucky your phone not to be from the locked down ones and to unlock with ease. Give it a try!

I already got code from Ebay seller, and it dose not work.
And now I'm in South Korea so turbosim is only one way unlock it.
And I guess I can use my D2G with turbosim if I can connect Hsdpa only.
Is there any way to do that?

[Q] No signal with foreign sim card/no network unlock code prompt

Hello people, I'm trying to use a Claro sim card on my Personal phone (both carriers are argentinian), but can't get it to work.
The Claro card works on other phones. Mi xt925 is running CM 10.1.3 and the correct baseband (100700.220.62.33p).
It even showed me the gsm menu from Claro but no option worked, and still have no signal and get "Network not available" error.
I get something about the sim can be registered in Claro Argentina (as I said, the sim is working with no problem on other phones) when tryng to choose network.
I already have and unlock code, and don't have another sim (from a different carrier) to test it.
Is there anyway to force the phone to ask for the code?
EDIT: In case someones gets to this post, I fixed it going back to stock rom by using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38190729.
I put my sim card in and automatically asked me for the code.

S8+ blocked after trying to unlock it

Hi guys,
a friend of mine told me that your are the only persons they maybe can help me....i really hope so!
I bought a S8+ which is A1 Mobilkom Austria locked. As i want it with a another carrier "3 Hutchison Austria" i ordered a sim unlock Code from a third Party Company. After i got the Code i tried that like the instruction says:
#####################################
Instructions to release your SM-G955F Galaxy S8 Plus
1. - Turn on the handset on with a SIM card not accepted by the device (your new network operator)
2. - If the card has a PIN number, enter it and press OK.
3. - The device will prompt: “Network lock”, Now enter XXXXXXXX and press OK.
4. - Your phone will indicate: "The operation was successful", becoming permanently unlocked.
Minor code: If the code in step 3 does not work, type the code XXXXXXXX and press Unlock, the phone will indicate Unlock fail, now dial the code again from step 3.
######################################
I really don´t know if i did something wrong...after 3times it is locked now.
After that i am getting this message now "SIM Network PIN blocked. Enter SIM Network PUK" - But now the Problem Begins. I tried to put in the PUK Code um my 3 Hutchison Sim Card but that was
unsuccessfull. So it seems it doenst men the PUK of the sim, it means the PUK of the network lock.
Do i have to contact A1 for that Code? That would cost me 150€ and tehy will give me the sim unlock Code. But i do not Need the sim unlock Code, i need the PUK unlock Code....so maybe
i buy it but i alos do net get the PUK Code.
What can i do now?
Pleeeeeease help me!!
P.S. I am from Austria, vienna - Sorry for my not perfect english
Thanks in advance
martin
Whoah, take it easy...
You title says, "S8+ blocked after trying to unlock". But your description says that your SIM card is PUK blocked?
If the phone boots perfectly without any cards in, then the SIMcard is blocked. Then you need to order a new SIM card for the new carrier, cus you cannot unlock a SIMcard that has been PUK blocked...
It feels like you type the Carrier unlock code instead of the PIN for the SIMcard?

Thats the Problem. I have the PUK Code from my 3 Hutchison SIM Card but that one does not work. I took this sim Card and put it into a another phone which is unlocked and it worked fine. So it can´t be the simcard PUK. If it should be the simcard PUK, then the sim Card wouldnt work in a another phone , right?
I tried few minutes ago a anonther 3 Hutchison sim Card from a collegue (he has the sim pin and the Sim PUK with him) and it also doesnt work!
Thats really weird, it sounds like the SIM PUK ( i know the error message Sound like that) but it means the Network PUK.
I think there should be a another Code ewhich you Need, if yout put the carrier unlock wrong into the phone...
thanks in advance

1.) This means you again tried to unlock the phone 3 times with your friend's 3-SIM card and again ended with the PUK message?
2.) Or did the PUK message appear right from the start with the other 3-SIM in?
If 1. then looks like the bought unlock PIN is not working at all.
If 2. then
-->
Do you know anyone who could borrow you an A1 SIM card for a test, who has also a PUK available?
OK, finally my phone is working with the 3 Hutchison sim Card now
Solution:
I ordered a new unlock code which includes a UNFREEZE Code from a another company. I was telling them my problem and the told me it should be the unfreeze code which i was needed.
After typing the unfreeze code into my phone it asks me for the net unlock code...i typed the new net unlock code into my phone and i can use all cards now!
Thanks for your support guys :good:

I have the same problem, my phone is asking me for the
"Sim network PIN. Enter SIM network PUK."
Wich company did you use to get the code? help me!! haha
I used sim-unlock.at (Austrian Company) but you just need a company who also provides you the unfreeze code with the netlock code.
Some company just send you the netlock code, some are sending you a pack of codes...
Hope this will help you
I also have the same problem but I'm in Ghana, can my service provider help me provide me with the unfreeze code, I really need help, really cost me much to get this phone, Please help me, Phone keep asking me for a PUK even with a new SIM card in it

Galaxy S8+ not prompting for unlock code

I have one galaxy s8 which was claimed to be unlocked b4 buying it,put in my sim and it's writing "invalid sim card,sim card not supported"if i go to settings and search for available networks,it will bring different networks but wont allow me to register on it.if i try to call...it will say "not registered on network"
I made an enquiry and they said if it is locked,it should prompt for an unlock code immediately i put my sim inside.even if i wana unlock again,d phone is not asking for any unlock code neither is it asking for unfreeze code.i also tried secret codes with it and it is not working #7465625*638#.it is a branded at&t phone
You may need to configure the APN for the new carrier manually. Go to settings, connections, mobile network, then APN (Access Point Names), select add and type in new APN settings.
However if that doesn't work, It may be hard locked. Meaning that an invalid sim unlock code was entered too many times. In my past experiences if it doesn't prompt you for the code when you enter a new sim card it is either hard locked or already unlocked and needs the APN settings configured. However after inserting a new sim card the phone would normally configure the APN automatically and only on occasion would I need to modify it to get data/text working properly.

invalid sim card,sim card not supported means it is locked device, i would like to help you to unlock it if you're interested
I'm facing this same issue. When I got the phone I installed an unbranded firmware (XAA/XAA/ATT) and I've since upgrade to Oreo. I can't seem to restore an ATT firmware so I can be prompted to enter the unlock code. Any suggestions?
make sure you using non at&t sim and it must be an active sim card. submit an unlock request to at&t on their website or use an unlock service like attunlocker.us to get your code.

The issue is there's no prompt to enter the unlock code.
is the SIM card active that you are using? what SIM is it?

Yes, it's a T-mobile SIM.
Sorry to necro, but does no one have a solution for this? I've seen plenty of threads such as this but very few solutions.
Necro double-post, I'm really asking for it...
First, you have to get an unlock code from the carrier. I had AT&T and it told me my phone was active under an account (previous owner). When you call AT&T and ask for an ulock they loop you to the website and you can't progress there, so you just have to ask for "customer service" twice and then get to the second level support. They can get you an 8 digit code for unlock. But I still never got prompted for the code and neither AT&T (5 calls), Cricket (3 calls), or xFinity (3 calls) could tell me how to get to the unlock screen. The following did it.
My solution was to use the following method, as found on https://www.tenorshare.com/samsung/samsung-unlock-code.html:
Step 1: Open the phone and type #7465625*638*# in the dialer.
Step 2: Then, it will ask for the Samsung Reset Code, it is an 8-digit code.
Step 3: Provide it and you will be done.
