Hi all,
I was looking at dual sim card phones for my 'round the world trip coming up, but decided I could save a bit of cash and just get a dual sim adapter.
I looked at Magicsim, and it looks to be pretty reasonable (~20 EUR from Eurodualsim.com, or ~18GBP from magic-sim.com).
Has anyone had any experience with these? Going to bang it into my old Nokia E63 (Symbion! Do you remember what that is? Ahaha). Do they work alright? I hope I'll be able to swap between two relatively easily to save on roaming fees.
Cheers,
dstambou
Yea I've talked about these before on here... Really useful, not had any problems. Pretty simple to switch by just selecting sim 1 or sim 2.
Previous discussion on here has suggested that eurodualsim isn't actually selling the official Magicsim product so I'd be wary or purchasing from there but apart from that I can recommend the product for sure. Hope that helps!

I get tired of swapping my sim card regularly between my Hermes and my iPhone. I have an extra sim card and it would be sweet if there was an app for wm5/6 that would let me clone the card. Obviously I could only have one phone on at a time!
Is there anything like that or are the sim card cloners I see online for sale the only option?
i think they are illegal are they not? sure i remember hearing about this about 5-10 years back where people were getting their sims cloned by theives.
you could always divert calls if you cant get hold of a device.
Against the carriers tos, for sure, but then what isn't against their tos. I doubt they are illegal though. Type in sim card cloner on ebay or google and youll find aobut a billion of them. This one even comes with some super duper sim card: http://cgi.ebay.com/12in1-USB-Sim-C...yZ146493QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Update: I bit the bullet and bought one of these for $10 and will post back once I clone that beast. (I didnt buy it from ebay)
Just thought I'd let you know that the cloners that you can buy on ebay only work with generation 1 sim cards and most providers have been using have been using gen 2 and 3 for a while now so you're probably out of luck if you buy one.
This is the one I bought (hasnt arrived yet): http://www.1topstore.com/product_info.php?products_id=1736
I'm sure your right that it probably won't work. For the $10 price it probably wont be worth my time to ship it back. However, it says it clones 64k sim cards and in my wifes phone the sim card says 64k on it.
I suspect it will make a backup copy odf the contacts and text messages, but not your account itself. Please let us know though if it worked, I must have one!
I got the SIm Card cloner in yesterday. All that fantastic device was capable of doing was breaking my sim card so that when I put it in I got "Unregistered SIM". I had to go down to the store and swap my sim for a new one.
Best $10 that I've ever spent on an item from the great land of Hong Kong.
Anyone know the cheapest site for this phone? I want the unbranded one. All i find is 600+ which is ridiculous. i dont mind if it is used or new and ebay just hasnt been yielding that many unlocked unbranded ones. if you have one and are willing to sell to me, maybe we can work something out securely over ebay on private auction. i know this phone is only out for 2 months but hey, some people just dont like it. i am willing to trade a touch diamond unlocked unbraded + some cash and accessories for one.
Most places I have seen are about $600+. I got my Fuze for about $300 with upgrade on AT&T. That way it can support 3G. Remember not to buy the CDMA as it does not have a sim card. What provider are you with? It may be cheaper to buy a branded one from your provider.
Sorry buddy. There is no such thing as a cheap high-end device. Get a fuze if you really want it cheap. Sell your diamond for $400. Pay $100 for a fuze. Unbranded touch pros are $600+. You won't find a working model any cheaper.
thats what i kinda thought too. im bound to at&t already and still am under a contract until june and not eligible for upgrade discount until may. i really want to switch to tmobile because of their coverage at work and home is more superior in my area. an upgrade to the fuze would cost the $499 no commitment price.
i love my diamond for everything except the keyboard sucks. feels like my old iphone but way worse to type on because of the small size.
whats the difference between the cdma ones and the gsm ones? is it easier to flash one version than the other?
I'm in England and I bought mine from eBay for £390 - it wasn't brand new but only used for a week so it's as new.
I think (and this is my newbie answer!) that GSM phones (which I have) uses a sim card and CDMA uses............er.............something else?
GSM is generally easier to flash and more roms are created for GSM phones. I would love the diamond actually. I have a fuze and I barely use the hardware keyboard. I just use the compact qwerty on-screen. It's perfecty fine for me. I would've soo went for the diamond if it had removable storage. 4gb is just not enough for me. I meant go for the Touch HD, but I want 3g =/ and The touch HD looks promising, but not without a d-pad.
Hey guys, I'm jumping ship and moving from Virgin Mobile to T Mobile. I have the option to use any phone with a sim card slot on my plan, provided it's unlocked. I am looking for something that will last a long time, as far as build quality and software / specs goes, and a big screen is a must. I am looking at the HTC Inspire 4g because it is made of durable materials and has great processors. The motorola atrix looks tempting as well, especially since it can be used as a laptop which will be useful for college.
Can anyone offer their personal experiences with either of these phones, or suggest other phones? I am on a somewhat tight budget, after my bills, gas and insurance I only make about $50-70 extra per paycheck. On that note, does anyone have any coupons I might be able to use, or a place that has these on sale?
Also, these phones will need to be unlocked so I can use them on T-Mobile.
I'm out of the loop in regards to much going on with phones these days. I recently bought an Iphone 4s but it will not be here until this week coming up, my service ends w/ Straight Talk tomorrow and I JUST found out that they no longer carry AT&T sim cards. I cannot and will not buy a T-Mobile branded sim.
Here's what I need to know:
I want to keep my number but as of right now do I have any options to purchase another prepaid sim to keep it? I can't go to Walmart and pick up any sims being that the 4s needs a micro and I thought about cutting my current one that fits my 3Gs but I don't have a cutter.
I'm thinking of just going back to Red Pocket even though they are slightly more expensive but they are potential drama like Straight Talk (I called ST and they said they have micro sims but I'm not wasting $15 dollars to find if the T-Mo sim is indeed micro.
Bottom line is I've had my number for quite a while and want to keep it BUT I need to make the switch to a micro sim and ST is acting funny, suggestions?
Wow 45 views and no help... whoever can just delete this thread, thanks for nothing.
:good:
I have Tmobile and on the website it says online activation and that it comes with a SIM card in it. However I already have a nano simcard as I have the S7 edge. Do I just pop my current sim card in it like I normally do when buying a phone?
You can technically, so you can keep the extra one as a spare. I still have a nano SIM for my S6, but I'm apparently getting a new one when I pick up my S8 from Best Buy at launch, so probably just gonna just use that, unless the guy's gonna plop in my old one in. But, in your case, if you plop your old one in BEFORE turning it on, I don't see why your current one wouldn't work.

I must have like 3 nano sims just laying around lol I buy so many phones.
Also about having a spare since I have a few extra Tmobile ones and I last month gave my dad my S7 because my dad's S5 was dying. Anyway the S5 uses the older larger SIM card so I took one of my spares to the Tmobile store to get him converted over and figured I'd save $25 bucks, but then the guy claimed they can't use them and makes me buy yet another SIM card for $25.
Is that true or did they just pull one on me in order to get $25 from me? So I will have 4 of these laying around when I get my s8 Plus lol.
Haha lawl. When I got my S6, despite getting it secondhand off Swappa, it came with a brand new nano SIM. When I activated it, I had to use the new nano SIM since I was upgrading from the S3, which uses the micro SIM.
Hm, I have heard that you can get charged for a SIM card if your current one isn't working, but if you already have one that's brand new, why would they charge you? I wonder if that's a T-Mobile thing, since I have AT&T and I've never gotten charged for a new SIM.
I should ask a rep next time I'm in an AT&T store regarding SIM cards. I had a friend on T-Mobile who thought her SIM card wasn't working, and when she went there, if it really was her SIM, they'd charge her $25 for a new one. Luckily, it was a phone issue, so she didn't get charged.
As long as the nano SIM was never taken out of it's original packaging, then they really shouldn't have charged you. If your spares were lying around as is, then I can see why they could charge you, as they assume that it's used, so it has someone else's info on it.
