i have a tmobile pocket pc phone edition
and i have a motorola phone
but just 1 sim card. i can get another sim card for free (friend of mine works for tmobile). im wondering if there is a way to copy my sim card in my pocket pc and write it to a new card
my goal is, if i go out to dinner, to a club / bar, etc... i dont wanna carry the pda with me. yes i can just swap the card, but id rather each phone have thier own
is there a program for the pocket pc phone to copy the sim card and write a new one or some kind of device to do this ?
i know direct tv uses a smart card, which technically is what the sim card is. i was thinking maybe i can use a card programmer for direct tv, copy my good sim card and write it back to the new one.
any ideas ?

I understand it is possible to do this, however I bought the hardware and software to do so and have destroyed 2 sim cards so far and failed to copy any sim from UK service providers. This includes Orange, T- Mobile, Virgin, Vodafone and O2. I got in touch with the makers and they tell me that all these providers use V2 type cards therefore wont copy. I cannot vouch for other parts of the world. If anybody in UK has succesfully cloned a sim other than from an old Orange sim (3 years old at least) then I would be happy to hear from them. The hardware I bought allows 16 sims on one supersim, including phone book, sms etc. The sims can be switched on via a menu on the phone without switching off or resetting the phone, it will be great when the software finally gets to the stage where it works on UK sims.

Hi All
Has anybody managed to get a 3 (Three network) SIM to work on an Orange SPV after SIM unlocking.
I would like to be able to use my other phone's SIM in the Hermes.
All advice appreciated.
Thanx in advance

Can you get full HSDPA speeds though?
My 3 SIM in my TyTn won't let me go above GPRS as its not my primary phone. So I'm paying for a service I can't use. I've spoken to their CS who basically said, no sorry, you've got to use that Nokia we sent you as your phone.
My T-Mobile SIM out of my 3G data card for my laptop works like a charm.
Guess which contract I'll be ripping up next month? Clue: its not the T-Mobile one.
I have put in a 3 PAYG SIM card and it worked, but I didn't test any calls.
What does happen though is the roaming triangle icon appears if you turn off 3G, which I guess is right because it's technically roaming on Orange (although the network name still says '3')
apparently most of the networks are distributing new sim cars for use with their 3g networks, and because of the upgrades, older sim cards wont work with newer services. my 3g service in the us wont work with an older US at&t card, and they had to give me a new one. so give 3 a call and ask them for a new sim card. say yours got broken or something, otherwise they may charge you. but ask first if they will give you one free first. good luck

I think your problem might be that the 3 hsdpa service you are on is x series. I have asked in their shops about it, because it seems to be the best 3g deal, but they said its only compatible with a few phones made specifically for x series, eg n73. And it cant be used on other phoens because it is a sort of program embedden in the phones, rather then a homepage like vodafone live, which you can just link to.
Hope i have helped, and correct me if im worng

I bought a used Orange UK TG01, unlocked it with an unlock code, then flashed some cooked ROMs. Voice calls work perfectly, but a "Cannot connect for an unknown reason" comes out immediately when I use anything that needs a data connection. This even happens with a stock Hong Kong WM6.5 ROM.
Is my TG01 defective? I flash ROMs with SDDL+ and my microSD card is a Transcend 8GB microSDHC Class 6. The only things I haven't tried yet is using a microSD (<2GB) card and using the pin shorting method to flash ROMs instead of using SDDL+.
I'm in Hong Kong and my mobile operator is PCCW 3G. All connection settings are correct. The same settings and SIM card work with my HTC TyTN II.
Try this....
Change your sim card with your friends or your wife's. I am thinking that your phone company is the problem. I had the exact same problem with my phone here in Japan. Said something just like your message. So I swapped the sim card with the sim card in my wife's phone and boom... my phone worked perfectly. I had to call my phone company over and over and over again, then they said that they will "refresh" my phone account and it took three days. So... just try a different sim in your phone, the problem you are describing is EXACTLY the same as I experienced. No data connection, but SMS(I think.. I am not sure, it happened to me three years ago) and phone works fine.
Check it out, tell me what happened when you swap sim cards?

Luckily my operator happens to be carrying out some network upgrades which requires me to get a new SIM card from them, no phone calls needed.
I got my new 64K SIM card and bam, everything works perfectly now! The chip on the SIM card is smaller than my previous SIM card.
Hi Guys!
I bought an HTC HD Mini for a couple months ago, the first 2 weeks it worked great and when i one day made a system restore i couldnt use my swedish sim card called Comviq anymore, i couldn't either use another card to call or message people. But I once could send a message with a 3 sim card. I dont know if the police or something has blocked the IMEI or something like that. I bought the phone from a guy with cardboard and everything that comes with the phone. I dont know if he have steal it????
I thought maybe its my fault for making a system restore? When i put a 3 sim card i get a connection with the net but i cannot call, but with the comviq (my swedish sim card) i dont even get a connection to the net? It says no net available, but for the 3 card its one available but i still cant call? Is it locked to the operator 3? Have the police blocked it?
Thanks in advance!
My sister bought this phone off crag list and it look brand new, it even have the original cover plastic. But when we put in the tmobile sim card, it doesn't see it. Do we have to do a reset or something , anybody have any advice ? Cause I'm pretty new to wp.

I had this happen to me too. Call T-Mobile and tell them you need to activate an HTC Radar. What they do is associate the phones IMEI number to your sim card. I don't know why they have to do this with this phone and not other phones, but you do. Also, your sim may not work if it's an older sim. They make ask you for the model number for your sim card and replace it for you.
I have a Moto E LTE 2nd Gen XT1526 with ResurrectionRemix Mv5.6.5 Marshmello 6.0.1_/22-MHC19J
I need a ROM that supports AT&T SIM cards.
I have an AT&T SIM card but when inserted into the phone it is not recognized.
How do I go about finding and flashing a ROM that will recognize and utilize my AT&T SIM card giving me service?
In other words, can this phone be used as an AT&T phone?
Thank you
I'm not an expert but I think that had nothing to do with a rom you would have to flash the radio or base bands to make it work with at&t.
Okay, how would you do that?
I know how to "flash" for the most part, but I'm not the builder of this phone.
I did try a few other things that gave me a few more questions though.
I recently got the phone to replace mine that had broken. I requested a SIM card from AT&T because the replacement phone (the MotoE) takes a larger SIM card. When placed in the phone, and after restarting the phone, I got "No Service" and in the "Settings/About Phone/Status/SIM Status" no phone number or other information.
I did try a completely different SIM card that I found just laying around and placed it into the phone. Although I got no current service, the phone did recognize the SIM card and it did give me a phone number (even though it was inactive.)
Now I have no idea what carrier the second SIM card is on, but "IT" obviously worked just by inserting the card.
Here's the thing that's got me confused. This ROM looks as though it can do "ANYTHING" I might want it to do to a phone. I'm almost certain that it probably has the ability to use any carrier I want it to, it "IS" rooted for Apps and ADB, and does seem to give pretty good control over the phone's systems, but I just can't seem to figure this whole problem out,
Again, if anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.
