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.

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.
Anyone know if I could use two sims simultaneously? I'm thinking of buying this phone to put a data sim and a pay as you go voice sim in.
No

Yes you can have two SIM cards simultaneously.
What you will need to do is:
Insert the Pay as you go SIM card into the SIM slot and the Data SIM card into the microSD card slot. To be able to do this will need to get a special code from T-Mobile called the SD-SIM unlock code.
Very important to use the Data SIM card into the microSD slot since this will give you better speeds than if you insert it into the regular SIM slot.

LOL. That was hilarious. The moment I read data SIM in the sd slot I started laughing
I've always wondered about all those dual sim adapters you see on Ebay. This One, for example claims to "Auto Switch" to allow incomming messages and calls from both cards at once, and manual switching for outgoing. for $7, might be worth a shot. Only downside is having to cut up your sims, but there are others out there that don't require this.
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
Hey, I've loving the review about the Htc One looked at S & yes the phone is sent with a MicroSim ...
I would like to set my phone, but still have an old sim that is great and I would like to keep my old phone number and ask my is:
Can I have my SIM CARD & big punch then the MicroSimAdapter the old card in the Htc One & S put it all work?
that makes no sense .
Do you mean can you cut an original SIM down to size for the One S ? If so the answer is maybe. Some chips are bigger than others so it might not work. Ask you provider for a micro sim, They are free.
If you meant can you use a micro SIM and use an adapter to use that SIM in another phone ? The answer is yes, you can..

Hi there!
I am currently looking at the HTC U11 for my next phone and was wondering if anybody tried to put 2 SIM cards together with a microSD to expend the storage?
I am using 2 SIMs permanently but still would love to be able to use the SD card to extend/backup the storage.
I know this trick worked on some Dual Sim phones (e.g. Samsung S7), with some cutting/DIY work but would it work on the U11?
Thanks
I have tried this with am old sim card and SD card.
But my advice is, don't do this.
The tray needs to much force to press it in. That's no problem. But to get it out that would be a problem.
As the phone is not easy to get in. It would be a repair job for professionals.
You can buy a small tool in China which is very simple but it looks not so good.

That would leave the SD card hanging outside the phone... hmm...
I guess it's OK, since most people uses a case anyways, so it can be hidden inside the case.
