I have Lenovo A Plus rooted by Supersu and plan to upgrade it to the pro version, in order to be able to set the pin-code to root-access. I have a task to make the SIM card binding to smartphones so that employees can not insert their SIM cards into them. Is it possible to do this? I mean, that the smartphone refuses to work with another SIM card.
Okay. I'll ask the question in a different way.
How in sh-script to get the serial number of the SIM card or phone number? If this is done, then I can put the script on the minute-by-minute execution and cyclically shutdown the phone if the SIM card number is not the one. Any ideas?

I am about to get a dual number Sim card for my phone, that is two phone numbers on one sim card simultaneously.
Now I know my really really old Motorola phone from 4 years ago had a simple function that translated the two numbers into "line 1" and "line 2" with ability to set different ringtones, etc for incoming calls and switching easily to make outgoing calls.
Does anyone know how this works on a Windows Mobile device? What kind of functionality does it provide?
I am running a Herald with WM6.
I would be interested too. I have a 8525 Cingy.
Phony-- Where did you get the Dual Line SIM? What carrier are you with? Will they activate more than 1 line on same SIM number?
DaddyGoFast, I am in China with China mobile but most carriers these days will provide you wih two numbers on one sim card if you just ask. Just call your service number.
There are other utilities you can buy that allow you to have multiple carriers or numbers on one sim card but those require that you switch by cycling power or using a piece of software, so in reality you can only use one number at a time.

Sorry, misread the thread.
any updates on a two number sim card in a WinMo phone?
I`ve just found an old sim card I used to use in my drawer and thought I would see if it had any credit left on it,but I cant for the life of me remember the pin code I used with it.
Would I be able to find it with a sim card reader or would I need hardware and software(that is a file recovery program) to use the sim card again.?
The same question would I need a sim card reader to restore deleted text messages from this or other sim cards or are they recoverable from the phone memory?
I assuume its the same method for all android phones
TIA
You need a PUK code from your network. Call them up and ask them.
This should help: http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f41/puk-code-forgot-your-sim-card-pin-7687/
Thanks for the reply!
Sorry i think you mis understood the question,it is not the phone that is locked just the sim card that is protected with a pin number.If I enter that incorrectly 3 times then the phone will lock and I will need the PUK from the service provider.but I dont want to lock the phone as I`m using it with a differant providers sim card.
I just want to read the old card to see the contacts and sms messages that may be saved on it.But I cant remember the pin I protected it with for the life of me!
there alot of things you can do with a reader even clone the sim or so im told
Which is illegal I believe, if you use both at the same time.
Sent via my iPhone 4G...LOL JK iPhone doesn't do 4G.
Is this feasible? I am trying to export the contacts from an old SIM card using the D2G as sort of an "adapter".
Insert the SIM card, then start the Manage SIM Card app, it comes preinstalled.
«Import SIM Card» will let you import contacts from the card. You don't need to perform band unlock for this to work, although I'm not sure if it's possible to import contacts if your phone is SIM locked.

Hm. If I've never bothered to deal with the SIM card feature I would assume that my phone is still SIM locked. It is rooted though does that make a difference?
The SIM lock can only be removed by entering the unlock code. There is no way to circumvent it.
You might be able to get the contacts from the SIM if you bypass the SIM unlock screen, though.
Well, I'm not seeing a "SIM manager" application. There is an applications installed called "SIM Toolkit" which I definitely didn't install, and doesn't seem to open up any options.
The phone seems to support SIM devices.. :
/proc/device-tree/[email protected]/[email protected]
/proc/device-tree/[email protected]/[email protected]/name
/proc/device-tree/[email protected]/[email protected]/type
/proc/device-tree/[email protected]/[email protected]/sim_availability
/proc/device-tree/[email protected]/[email protected]/class
Are you on 4.5.x or on 2.4.x firmware? “Manage SIM Card” appears in my app drawer on 4.5.608 and it's a stock application. I don't remember its name in 2.4.x, alas.
The app won't do anything if you don't have a SIM card installed, however. Upon inserting a SIM card and powering the device up it should ask you for the SIM unlock PIN (obtainable from VZW for free provided the phone is active, and you have been a good customer and paid all your bills on time). It won't happen if your device is in CDMA only mode; the SIM card reader is only activated in Global and GSM modes.
settings > about phone > android version = 2.3.7
I'm guessing the sim card manager is a few versions newer :-/
You're looking at Android version, not System version.
There is no official firmware for the DROID2 GLOBAL that runs Android 2.3.7. You're probably using custom firmware (CM7?), and you should refer to its developers to learn how to import contacts from the SIM card.
Most probably the contacts app supports it itself.
I wish to purchase a dual sim android phone (most likely samsung)
Is there an app/ or samsung dual sim phone which does the following...
if I wish to call a contact stored in sim memory of either sim card. the call will only be initiated from the sim card it is stored in..rather than giving me an option every time to choose a sim for calling.
Hi， guys，
I want to develop a App to control SIM Card directly while interrupting the communication between SIM card and Modem.
When modem ask SIM card for a information such as IMSI number, the App hijacks the message and return a pseud IMSI number.
Can it be possible and how can i implement it?
thank you all.
