Hi all,
I am now the proud owner of an AM7. However, I have a problem! I cannot get the 2nd sim card to work. The phone only shows bars for the Micro Sim - the Nano Sim is not showing anywhere.
Is there something I am suppose to do to activate the Nano Sim or should it pick it up automatically? Also - I had real problems getting the Nano Sim to fit in the 2nd tray - it seemed a fraction too big. Did anyone else experience this??
Thanks!!

Hello,
Do you have the 16GB/2GB Ram or the 32GB/3GB Ram version of the AM7?
Based on the reviews I checked, the feature of using 2 sims is only limited to the 32GB/3GB Ram version

No I have the International 16GB/2GB however I am almost certain i've seen details saying the dual sim is available on both models. Personally not once have I seen anything to say it was only limited to the 3GB Gold version and I did alot of phone researching.
I really hope this isn't the case anyway!!
Thanks a lot

The nano sim is perfectly sitting in the tray. You should place the sim according to the cut side. The terminals of the sim should face above. May be your nano sim is not cut properly? Is this sim coming as nano sim from the company or you have cut it?
I am having the same problem in sim one. It was working well but now it is not detecting anymore. I think in my case the slot terminals have dislodged.

Hi and thanks for the help. The sim was cut ever so marginally to fit into the tray - however I am surprised I had to trim it at all? When I put it back into my company iPhone it still works. It certainly looks like the sim is sitting correctly but the phone has not detected it once. I'll try again later tonight.
I am concerned though that the 16GB/2GB International version does not support dual sim - only the gold 32GB/3GB version - but as I mentioned above i've never seen this written anywhere anywhere.
Do I assume there is nothing that needs to be 'switched on'??
You should see two sim toolkits in applist. Always, not only if there are 2 cards inserted. You could check build.prop and local.prop for dual sim entries. All should be true. And well 2gg model is single sim normally. Only Chinese models and gold model are dual sim. Maybe you could make it work with patching prop files.
I do have a sim toolkit app but it will not open. So everything seems to indicate the international version does not support dual sims. So disappointing - oh well...... ebay here we come...
Thanks a lot...

It may be too late but in phone menu, could you try keying in *#06# and if 2 IMEIs display, then it should be dual sim.

Hi,
Anyone tried dual sim adapter in Desire HD ???
I want to use Dual Sim in Desire HD, need some information.
thanks
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.

yeah id like more info too as i should be a proud owner of a DHD hopefully if it arrives tomorrow and will be looking for some sort of dual sim option
I would like to know if it works or not.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
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?
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.

According to this only the D6616 has a 32GB option. That's disappointing as the D6603 will be the 'mainstream' model.

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.
how is the battery life on the dual sim version? is it similar to the D6603?

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.
My Note 3 Duos has 1 slot can be used as 3G connection, another only for 2G

Hi, I recently bought S8+ in Scandinavia/EU and looking at the sim tray, there is a spot for 1 sim and 1 SD card. Is there any way to get 2 sim cards working instead of 1 sim 1 SD?
Thank you in advance

You mean that you don't know if you have a dual sim s8+ or a single sim? It must be written in the back as "Duos"...
I know that this (2 sim & micro SD card) happens in all Duos (Dual sim device)
But I don't think that you can do a single sim version to dual sim
To clarify, the question popped up as I saw some people on YouTube surgically detaching the sim and glueing it to their sd cards in order to get the 2nd sim working. But I assume if there is no actual reader to read the 2nd sim, that operation won't be successful. Thing is, I do not know if there is a reader or not on an European version of s8+?
It's quite impossible since the device must have two imei numbers.

Remove the sim chip from the telecommunications company and stick it behind the SD Card. Look at my photo. Then sim + SD card into the sim2 card slot. This sim2 card slot there sim with sd.

The answer is a simple no. Those videos show a dual sim s8 being modded so they can use the dual sim AND an sd card instead of OR.

No. Must have 2 IMEI's for that to work. There is no way to make a single sim phone a dual sim one.
Does the dual sim slot also work as a micro sd card slot? I know some dual sim phones have added this support to the second sim slot where the phone itself didn't have a dedicated micro sd slot.

No, it doesn't. And the tmo variant is the same after converting to EU firmware. Second sim slot included.

Yes, the 7t pro sim tray works but isnt flush. You could also try the 8 sim tray. The second slot will work but the device is dual standby so if your making a call from one you cant use data or anything with the other at the same time. You also only have one imei which is assigned to both slots.

just came across your post looking for something else. i have the KB2005 and the sim tray is dual but it looks like a single one, when i looked closer one sim goes on top, one sim goes on bottom.
So the title says it.
I have the T-Mobile 8T and I bought a cheap little dual sim tray for the 8t and was wondering if the tmobile 8T will still do dual sim with that tray?
It's in the stock tmo settings app for dual sim so I'm hoping it works

I shoved my old 7T's dual sim holder in to my Tmo 8T with my two SIM cards (if you have Tmo, get your FREE LINE during the holiday promo...).
The sim holder didn't fit all the way in but the first sim card did register and it worked fine. The phone did not report seeing the second sim. I'm wondering if that's a function of the Tmo ROM. Looking in the sim card hole you can see there are top and bottom pins... I have to wonder if flashing to the global firmware would activate the second sim....

Not only that, you could potentially use one SIM for data only ($20+/mo) and a second SIM for voice ($3/mo for Prepaid), instead of spending $60+ monthly. A different calculation on multi-line accounts though...
Unfortunately, I can confirm that, at least on the latest T-Mobile build (11.0.4.6.KB09CB), dual SIM does NOT seem to work.
I've tried it with the OEM dual SIM tray for the OnePlus 8T, which fits perfectly in the T-Mobile "OnePlus 8T+ 5G." The second SIM (SIM2 slot of the tray) is never detected and no options for it appear despite both SIMs working individually when placed in the SIM1 slot of the tray.

Fortunately, people have already confirmed that the Global ROM conversion does enable dual SIM. See the Global/EU conversion thread for more.

Thanks for confirming what we suspected. I think anyone seriously interested in dual SIM should be on global anyways.
I bet that eventually a few smart devs will dig into the T-Mobile rom and find a way to patch dual sim support back in
