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

Looking forward to that too.

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....

I've been thinking of buying one, but Simore don't seem to answer questions. Maybe you can help me. Do you have to manually switch the APN? And do you have to enter the Google account each time you switch?
Thanks in advance!

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.

I pass this on to friend that need this exactly. No fast data just 2 line's on one phone.

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.
Triple sim
Dual sim
Triple sim, this one has been posted earlier, but opened.
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.

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.
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
Do you have 2 imei numbers?

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....

The weird thing in the stock tmo rom it has settings for sim2 and sim1 so I would assume it would work and yep that's why I'm asking this I got the free line lol
Having two Sims on the same network won't help you very much for performance, but it's great if you need two numbers!

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.

Damn oh well,I'll keep the tray and my free line sim stuck in the 8t and wait for twrp then I'll switch to global firmware and try dual sim. I really just want twrp for 8t on a11

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
