I would be curious to hear how you guys are using this. I am carrying 2 phones, one work and one personal. Exchange on work phone. It would be nice to just carry one phone and maybe use GV for work messages.

I think the only option you have for both active is something like the Gmate or Socblue devices i've read about. They sell them on the same website but i've not used one myself

yeah S4 Chinese version is dual sim, perfect choice for 2 sim active
Absolutely, get the i9502, FTW!!!
this looks crazy awesome
Why would you go through the trouble of posting this video and asking for subscriptions when you do nothing to explain this is depth? Is the software on the phone already set up for this? How does the messaging app handle it? Is there any setup required?
do your phone have to be rooted or not to use it
I have this, 2 sim active, the only problem is it will only support GSM, data is usable, but you need to root or jailbreak for data, gmate promised a 3G version, but this was over a year ago.
[/QUOTE]
Also if people are after a dual sim adapter, instead of paying the high price for the magicsim, go to ebay and get a iphone 4 or iphone 5 version for about 5-7USD, these will also work for android phone, I'm using one right now, no root is needed and supports data.
details on using it, when the dual sim adapter is connected, a icon will show up in the menu, this menu allows you to switch sim.
This is on my note 2, but all android will work.

But the question is, could you use both phones at the same time with the dual sim adapter. How it works? How the phone discriminates both?

did you have to trim your sim card to fit the cards. does one card with adapter go in reg slaot and the other into extension or do both go into extension. will the extra stuff with sim inserted into sim slot damage sim slot on phone. looking at this and triple sim adapter for s4 and n3
For the adapter the main sim is the microsim that goes into the phone with one end of the adapter which goes under the microsim, the other end supports a full size sim, I actually have the ipnone 5 version so the size is slightly smaller, you should get the iphone 4 version, the fit into the sim slot on the phone will fit without any problem, as most sim sockets are made slightly thicker, about 0.1-2mm, as sim cards vary in thickness due to manufacture process.
As long as you have one microsim and one full size sim, you are ok, you do not need to alter it in anyway, if you do have different size sims like me, as shown in the photo's you can use sim adapters, data will work with either sim.
The photo's show some close shots of the adapter, even with the adapter in the slot, it is slightly loose, so I have used double sided tape as shown in the photo.

Hi, has anybody bought a dual sim card for their Galaxy (im in the UK). I am aware of the login I wil have to do with google voice when I switch but how do I setup the APNs and do they allow to answer calls on both sims or do I have to swap between them ??
Thanks for looking
Cheers

I had one for my HTC Touch Diamond. I cutted my 2 sim cards into 2 little ones in order to fit the metal sim holder. I had 2 options: 1st i could switch the operators by pressing one assigned button. 2nd i could define timming to automaticaly switch. No way you can have 2 operators at the same time since galaxy dont have 2 antennas....

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.

I would like to know if it works or not.

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?...

@Topic: do you have any issues by switching between the sim cards?
when i swap the sim on the go, in have to reenter the passwords of g-mail, facebook and twitter? do you have something similar?
Okay so I got my device (32GB,White) just one day ago , and it refuses to detect the sim. I had an airtel(india) sim which was cut into a micro sim . Are there any settings which I need to change to make it work ?
uploading the pic of the sim... Is this the proper micro sim or is it ruined ??

I put this SIM into another phone and its working quite well. But I havent tried any other micro sims on the Nexus yet....
Maybe any locking on some card from provider ?
Is the card coming out of a contract?

Also one note is the nexus 5 has different contact points for the sim inside the tray so your cut Sim won't work while another phone might as its got the same contact patterns
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
attached is my sim and your sim compared
as you see your bezel on the end is shorter and the contact points in the center are differently placed
are you sure its not recognizing the sim card?
try this
1.remove the sim card while the phone is on. if youl see notification that telling you that there is no sim card and restart, then its recognize the card and problem is somewhere else
2.go to settings
under wireless&networks=>More..=>MobileNetworks=>Network operators
wait until the phone will find all the operators and chose yours
if that not working go to next step
3.open SIM TOOLKIT app
Roaming Services=>Select Mode=>and try some of the Manual mods there or the Automatic
now go to step 2 and do it again
hope it will solve your problem

I chose the the operator , it spent like 4-5 minutes searching.. and then came "Couldnt connect. Please try again later." I'm sure the problem is with correct contact points.

So i just switched to an Airtel sim and my nexus 5x doesnt want to detect it.
1) I have tried other sims on my phone and they all work perfect and get detected under milliseconds after inserting.
2) Then, i tried to insert this particular airtel sim to my dad iphone and it does work and also can call from it. So yeah it is active.
3) SO! then i tried inserting my dad's Airtel sim in my Nexus and guess what ? It doesnt get detected.
Conclusion: Nexus 5x is not capable of detecting Airtel sim and so get a vodafone or any other sim card you prefer.
I have the exact same problem with my 5x. I Have an Airtel sim as well. The phone has stopped detecting sim. If I insert a new sim, the phone detects the new sim for a while but then stops detecting again. Though the sim is being detected by all other phone including a different Nexus 5x.
Not sure what is the problem here. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks guys
So along with my recent phone upgrade i needed to get a new dual sim adapter. Went with another from www.magic-sim.com and its working great for me. Personally always had a great experience with these little devices and can recommend them! :good:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dhbcv_n-zU
Had one for the S4 that stopped working after a while, needing a reboot every time you wanted to pick up signal.
I agree with EnricoIT i had the same problems...
Always had great experiences with these devices personally too, in the past when i've needed any technical help their customer service has always been great.
Does anyone no if it's possible to use data from one sim and phone from the other, at the same time. My work Sim doesn't have data, so I'm constantly tethered to another phone with my sim in it. (WiFi doesn't work well in my workplace)

Surely not. Not until there is a true dualsim version of S5
anyone care to discuss use of the s5 with dual sim adapter? is it simple as pop it in and go, or do you have to manually switch from one sim card to the other? I have a crappy work phone and an s5 and would like to just put the work sim into a dual adapter and carry just the s5.
There is a duos version of S5 (SM-G900FD) like this one that I'm using. They are sold in the middle east, mine is a UAE version but I live in Singapore. Everything is mostly the same except the extra sim slot and its unlock.

I just got this device, model D6633. Seems that it's just the same as regular Z3 except for dual SIM card. I was wondering if root will be achievable on this model once its out for the single SIM Z3?
Thanks! Fantastic phone by the way. best allrounder on the market
As my experience with Note 3 Duos, there is no differences in rooting and recovery conpare to 1 sim variant.
Ps: is Z3 Dual enable HSPA on both sim, OP?
Im actually curious about this as well as I have the opportunity to get the Dual sim version but need to root

Where did you buy it? Online? I'm looking for importing it from Poland, the only European country who looks to be receiving it.
How's the dual sim's functionality? For example when you receive or do a call or a SMS, is there a button to switch lines or what? Where do you put the second SIM? Is the flap bigger? Sorry for questions, never had a Sony Dual...

The microSD card is moved next to the charger which now has a bigger flap. Both SIMs go next to each other in the right side flap. I'm only using it with 1 SIM card right now, but on the Call buttons and so on there's a small "1" so I'm guessing if I had two SIM cards there would be two buttons or some way to make the call from whichever SIM you want. You cannot also use two simultaneous data connections. the whole setup is pretty neat to be honest. Loving this, can't wait to travel now. lol.
I bought it locally (I live in Beirut, Lebanon) for 800 USD. Pretty steep but that's the way things go around here.

Could you change your sim to sim 2 slot and test 3G/HSPA with your phone? On my Note 3, sim 2 slot only work in 2G/Edge mode.

That is inaccurate. check my post on page 1 containing a screenshot that clearly shows you can only use one SIM data connection.
Do you mean, that you can only use one connection at a time or that one slot is 2g/3g/4g and one is only 2g?

He misunderstand my meaning. He installed one sim and don't want to change sim slot to test. As Z3 D6633 manual: only one 3G/4G connection at a give time but on any slot/sim.
