help!.. cannot receive cell broadcast

After reading a lot of messages regarding the annoying "message from network" popup's and tricks about how to disable them, I have a different question.
First of all I am a HP 6915 owner. With the SIM card provided by my local carrier I can *NOT* receive cell broadcast messages (all other phone functions are working well). It is a 64kb SIM card, but the same type of SIM card from other carriers as well as old type SIM cards with 16 Kb storage from the same carrier do receive and display broadcast messages perfectly but they are not available anymore. Technical support of the GSM carrier and HP blames each other without any solution or suggestion.
Any help appreciated..

I want to do that same thing. Haven't gotten around to buying the reader, plus I don't like paypal. I will try to swing by china town today to see if they have one there.
But it's somewhat easy (in theory) to do. Buy a reader, extract info through softwarre and dump on a empty sim card.
Don't know if it being a v2 or v3 will limit the ability to do so.

Do you a link or a name for the "Reader" and do you know if it actually works?

[Q] Simultaneous Sim 1 (Call) and Sim 2(3G Data)

I'm currently using two 3G enabled Sims in my Galaxy Core GT-i8262.
My Sole purpose of getting the Sim 2 was to use 3G Data/Internet on it, while using Sim 1 for Calling and texting only.
I went for Galaxy Core only because i have to use Voice and Data on 2 different Sims separately.
Therefore , i inserted the Sim 2, Went into Sim Manager > Enabled both Sim > Dual Sim Active
I also enabled "Receive incoming calls via Other Sim card while using Data service" in Both Sim 1 & Sim 2.
But when i selected this setting i received a popup "This might slow down the data transmission"
>Also i have Set Data as "Sim 2" in Sim 1, (So only Sim 2 will ne used for Data)
And Sim 1 as GSM Only while Sim 2 as WCDMA Only
But still, when i'm on a call in Sim 1, i can't use the 3G service of Sim 2 simultaneously. Only after disconnecting the call, Sim 2 3G Data starts working,
So the whole purpose of using Dual Sim goes wast when we can't use 3G internet on one sim while on call in the other.
Can anyone suggest how to enable this feature and also to avoid the "The slow data transmission" due to Dual Active Sim.. Otherwise this phone is just a piece of trash as i'll be on call most of the time and i won't be able to check my mail or Whatsapp msgs.

Please.. Anyone reply..

Ask this to samsung CEO he cannot answer that:sly:

While u r on a call on Sim 1 you cannot use the data connection from the Sim 2 even if its on WCDMA. But u can use 3G on the same sim on which the call is being recieved or done ...means Sim 1 can be used for both purpose simultaneously for Calling & Data connection on WCDMA ...even if u r on a call on sim 1 the data connection wont be lost...

hi! i'm not shure if i understand
i want to purchase this phone and i'm not shure if i can use in one sim voice over 3G and in the other one data over 3g.
I don't want to use voice and data in the same time...
Please help me

nobody can help me?

Hi Luciand, are you from Brazil?
My guess is that it is impossible to use voice on SIM 1 and data on SIM 2 because the smartphone have only one modem.
Even if it is capable of receiving calls on both SIM 1 or SIM 2, it is not possible to actively use the two SIMs at the same time.
For some smartphone to be capable of doing what you want, it should have two modems, which I believe would increase its cost and nobody would buy it...
I hope this helps, and if anyone knows better, please correct me!

You are able to select which SIMs data service the phone uses in the sim card manager under Data service network. However, you cannot use voice and data at the same time, regardless of which sim is set to be used for voice or data (at least here in the US on EDGE network.)

[Q] 2 simcards 1 number

My network service provider gave me a second data only sim card for my nexus 7 3g tablet. So I have 2 simcards but only one number...
Before I got the 2. data only sim everything was OK with the voice+data sim in my SGS3 Mini, but after I installed the 2. data only card in my tablet sms and video calls are "routed" to my tablet. I want to permanently install the tablet in my car so I need sms, video calls and notifications on my phone. I tried to google and read somewhere that the network would use the sim registered last or most recently as primary simcard, so I tried to turn off my phone for a few minutes, but this doesn't seem to solve my issue. I use cyanogenmod11 on both my tablet and phone, so is there anyway to configure calls, sms and video to my phone instead of the tablet?
I tried to search my service providers knowledge base but didn't find any info regarding my extra data only simcard so I guess this is a new option.

My s6 is locked (UK)?

I purchased a S6 on EE a week ago. Has been working fine with an ee sim, however I have not made any calls or texts yet, just using the phone for Internet on wifi etc.
I have a regular three sim which I would like to use so I have trimmed it down with scissors and this made me cut part of the gold contact bit off (I read online this shouldnt affect the sim).
I'm guessing this phone is locked as when I insert the sim it detects a new sim has been inserted, it makes me restart too. Upon booting up however it says no sim card/ emergency calls only however I see a solid connection. I cannot make any calls as it says not registered to a network or something.
Now my question is that is the phone picking up the sim card? If yes why is it not prompting me with a sim unlock code screen? Secondly is my phone not detecting the sim card at all? Is that the reason why I am not prompted with a unlock code screen? All help is appreciated. Thank you.

Go onto settings, then onto Mobile Networks, then Network Operators, then Search Networks then click the Three carrier. It will take a few mins to search for all the networks so do not back out.
