Enyone?
Or will it work in other android mobiles?

To keep reliability and official support, keep your SIM as is originally.
Do you think it would be a better idea to set up call-forwarding from one SIM (in another mobile) to the new SGS2 one?

BUMP!

Before my SGS2 I had an HTC HD2 with a MagicSIM CUT 26th generation. All working great, but while getting the dual sim adapter out of my HD2 I broke it
So yesterday I ordered a MagicSIM 28th CUT adapter and today I installed it into my SGS2. Working like a charm!

Nice! So does this allow you to have two cards online at a time and default one of them for i.e. data connection.
When I am traveling I would like one card for data connection (sip) and the standard card for receiving sms which cannot be forwarded to sip CID.

No, you can only use one and switch between them when you need in a menu.

Recommend Dual Sim adapter for my Touch Cruise

I'm looking for a dual sim adapter suitable for my touch cruise.
Any ideas?.
I saw this on the net, but it looks very expensive.
http://www.simore.ch/en/mobile_phone_accessory/HTC/Touch-cruise.html
Simore seems the only one working, my old adapater good for qtek 9090 worked only the first day, after it stop working (I try also a hard reset but no luck). I can switch only after a soft reset. But Simore seems to drain a bit the battery (watch here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364884). Ciao.

kutonglupa, the initial site? The link is only to buy, more information? Thanks in advance.
yes i am looking for recommended dual sim adapters for the touch cruise too
Oh this would be good as I am in the US every week switching sims. I don't suppose it would let me access DATA off one sim and Phone services off the other eh?

Yeah! You nail it, but, something does'nt feel right on this site or am getting paranoid?
like i asked before, will any of the sim adapters, actually keep both sims active at all times or this isnt possible ?
If not, which one of that m99 site will work for polaris?
This isn't possible. Only dual-sim phones can do that because they have two receivers integrated.
I don't know which one will work. I can only say that if you want to use UMTS you have to buy an analogue adapter. Afaik digital adapters can work with an UMTS-Sim but they can't use the UMTS features like HSDPA. So you can use the UMTS-Sim in GSM-Mode only.
Hello,
I have a Black 1 SIMORE v6.0 on my HTC cruise. It's works perfectly in edge and 3G mode.
With Radio ROM original, i have problem with 3G network, the network disconnect after 5 seconds, but after upgrade to the last ROM radio, it's OK.
There is an automatic permute function, like 10 minutes on my edge network, and 5 minutes on 3G network. Work good, it take less than 15 seconds to change , but if you are on call , it's disconnect you and change the network if the 10 or 5 minutes expires.....
But It's OK for me , i swap only to check my voicemail or sms and permute directly to my principal network.
I don't know about battery life but i have only one phone in my pocket and it's the only one solution i found for that
To Greg_o: can you please confirm if you can use HSDPA with the simore adapter? I am thinking to get one as well. Thanks.
HSDPA is activate in my options... I can tell you more in 4 days, my new 3G options ( TV ,visio , internet etc..) will be activate ... but, how i can see that HSDPA is working ? i already have the 3G on the bar level reception.
The easiest way would be to do a speedtest. I would suggest to use the test used in this topic so we can easily compare.
If your speed is high enough -> it could be only HSDPA.
my results without SIMORE :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2082686&postcount=67
I cut my SIM this week and post my result with SIMORE after
I now use a Datopal 6th Generation Dualsim Cut Adapter. It's an analogue one. Things seem to work fine so far. Tried with T-Mobile and HSDPA works (speed was only 440kbit/s, but that's what I got before I used Dualsim also). To be sure I only activated the UMTS frequencies in the settings, so it should really work.
There are only some problems when it comes to show the right distributor of my simcard. I don't have problems, when I use different networks. Only when I use the same network (one sim is directly from the network distributor and one is from a reseller who uses the same network) the display didn't change the provider name. So without a third party tool I'm unable to say which card is active. I used SimDisplay to get rid of this problem, but I'm sure that there are enough alternatives.
Main positive aspect of the dual sim is the low cost of 6$ per unit (including shipping). The card was directly imported from Hongkong, so delivery time was about a week (I paid with credit card).
It really depends on the network and SIM card type.
Here (france) I have an Orange and one SFR USIM cards, I can't do any 3G on it.
In fact, I can log on to the 3G network but when I try to make a call, network is downgraded to GSM.
Video-call don't work (that's the real test for 3G connectivity, calling your video answering machine).
I'm now thinking into buying an analogue dual sim adapter, to prevent any more meddling than a mere switch between the SIM card and the phone.
Anyone know of any dual sim card adapter that works in UK - 3 network?

well i ordered those dual sim adapters there - and guess what - i got the wrong ones. so its not the best idea to get those things there.
i tried to call them but the number is not working ...
Anyone tried this one? Selles says it will work for cruise: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=160263857295
Same guy is selling another version, with a picture of a diamond using this dual sim adapter. (photoshop or real? don't know yet)
I've ordered one, will post my result when I recieve it. May take a week or so.
I have tried this one, which is for "all phones": http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=250267107670
didn't work good. The STK menu came up, but the phone freezes everytime I try to change number. It ask for pin, then hangs. (and my dads sony ericsson slows down when this is inserted.. is this normal?)

Dual SIM Adapter

Hi,
has anyone successfully used a dual sim adapter with the LG E900 Optimus 7 ?
I am looking to buy this phone but need the dual sim.
thanks for your help and replies.
Yea i've used one of these before with a MagicSim 28th gen cut.
R
I'm very interested on the matter, could you please let me know how you can switch from one sim to the other with the LG Optimus 7.
Do you have a dedicated WP7 application to install or the phone automatically detects the dual sim adapter?
Please let me know.
Thanks.
hjkl;' why no delete?
Send me a PM and i'll point you to where i get mine from.
Having a lot of private messages asking where i get it from so i'll put it here.
"directdevices" on ebay. The cutting version isn't listed but if you message them they have them in stock
Hope this helps everyone!
Can you tell me please, how you switch between the sim cards. Because I have the Magicsim 28th but I can't switch between the SIM cards.
Thank you
Have you found the stk (sim tool kit) menu?
No i didn't find the STK menu.
I thought Windows Phone 7 don't has a STK ?
What's the deal with this? Looking for a dual sim adapter for my girlfriend who has this phone.
Did it work out ok?
I can confirm that the Magicsim 28th gen PLUS works on this phone for anyone thats interested.
Got it from www.magic-sim.com
I've had 2 off them now for a couple of different phones and i'm dead pleased.

Thank you very much Daniel
Hi I got the Adapter for my HD7 Pro and i cant find the stk menu.
Can anybody tell me where it is, or tell me how to change the sim.
I requestet support from the vendor but they say if i cant find the stk, i should have to change to android ?! wtf
Please help
They may be right....what firmware you running?
I run the firmwareversion: 2250.21.30201.207
an mango: 7.10.7720.68
Yea I'd guess they're probably right. From my understanding some newer windows versions have stopped supporting stk.
Your best bet is getting over to android as it works real well on my setup. I'm on 2.3.5 if that helps?
Good luck.
OK, i think i try another Adapter, this time a analog one, maybe this works
Thank you for your fast support
No probs... Although I'd be aware that no dual sim adapter will work without an stk menu. So your only real option is to change firmware if you want dual sim capabilities.

Sim Tray

Hello does anybody know of a double nano simtray for this device ? Asking because I have two Sims each with 3 GB and don't wanna have to fiddle with the adapter in the middle of the month ?
Wouldn't you just need nano-micro adaptor for the 1 sim? Then have both sims in all the time.
Sent from my KIW-L24 using Tapatalk
Yes I have the adapter or the sims I have are multi but afaik the 5x only has 2g in sim slot 2 ... Or am I wrong I've looked with my Google Fü but no luck I just remember a Utube vid where they said that...
Just read on a DLand site I can switch which card uses the Lte hope that true than I´ll be ok ...

LTE/4G/3G works on either sim slot, however only one sim at a time can be LTE/4G/3G and the other sim will only be 2G, but you can change which slot is which in settings.
Got it love it and the 4g switch works .... Delete post or mark as solved..
Just asking....

Do you mean 3 g?
If so, only 1 simcard at a time supports 3g
you can buy a cheap adapter on internet.
Hope i helped you
1nano,1micro+1sdcard
I wished they used two micro slots.
pretty sure you can switch the data use over the two sims without removing them
Future phones will have two micro slots.

Dual Sim Adapter - Nexus 6

I have read of a few people using dual sim adapters and want to try one out myself Can anyone recommend one for my nexus 6?
Switching sims is annoying and I want to be able to switch between my data and regular pay and go sim without changing sim cards all the time
Will it make a difference where I order from being in the UK? Just a thought.
"EDIT"
I jumped straight in and ordered this one because I couldn't wait Will let you know how it goes if and when it turns up!
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Magi...by-5-in-1-Adapter-For-iPhone/32659747557.html
This sounds interesting. Did a search, but didn't find much info except this guy's youtube video. Found a cheap one on eBay, but shipping time is like 2-4 weeks while Aliexpress can do 10-15 days for a bit extra.
If it works for you, be sure to post back. Might be useful for using my freedompop sim as a backup.
Edit: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Port...dby-for-iPhone6-6plus-4-4S-5/32412564754.html seems to be cheaper with the faster shipping possible as well. Missing out on sim adapters.
I've used some similar looking ones on older phones which required restarting the phone to work but they did work fine but that was a long time ago.
And darn it, I didn't see that other adapter
Oh well, Ordered the one in the first post for now Just have to wait and see although it's going to take forever to arrive either way, Just hope it's worth it !!!
maxgibson said:
my friend used this adaptor for a while and sound quality was not super fine because phone has only one baseband
Click to expand...

The sound quality was bad for both or the 2nd sim? I'm planning to use the second sim for data only. Might run into issues since main SIM is CDMA carrier but cheap enough that its worth trying for me.
That's my plan too, The second sim will only be for data, I was hoping that with some luck it wouldn't affect calls from my main sim
do you just leave the thing sticking out of the phone?

I guess when someone has it i wonder about water resistance being compromised.
Well... Just got mines; however, the adapter prevents me from sliding the sim slot back in fully. It seems to recognize my ringplus sim, but gives no data. Seems like it won't work with CDMA in primary and Freedompop in secondary. There's a youtube video of Cricket and TMobile working together though.

I'd like to do a hybrid of what you're trying to do and that youtube video...Ringplus and Cricket. I'm not sure if you can do sim switching between CDMA and GSM though.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like it can. I think the adapter doesn't play well with CDMA at all as it just sat there unable to see the Ringplus UICC sim card. I'll try to get cricket and freedompop working when I get home today. If that works, at least I know it isn't a faulty adapter. Then I'll try to do gsm + cdma one more time.
Edit: Online searching shows dual sim adapters that are compatible with CDMA. The adapter itself looks the same, so maybe I just didn't get the connections right. :\
Edit 2: I got it working It takes like 3 minutes for it to switch between Cricket and Freedompop though... It would be faster to just swap cards if you have the tools lol. Still no go with Ringplus + freedompop
Mine's has notyet arrived Although I am sure it's just taking it's time sight seeing on the way to me from china
ETA is 15-29 days from my order so I have some time to wait yet

I got data on the main sim for sure. I'm not sure about freedompop sim, but it was showing the HSPA symbol without the ! symbol (no data mark), meaning it should have been working.

Sprint (Freedompop) has no HSPA network... So probably no it wasn't working unless you saw a 3G or LTE icon.

I'm using their global GSM sim. It uses Tmobile and ATT roaming in US.
I thought when you mentioned Freedom Pop, you meant FP on the Sprint network. So 2 GSM sims should work.
I'm looking for validation if CDMA and GSM will work.
Thanks.

Is my Mi Pad 4 the LTE Version?

Hi all, a couple random questions.
I spent the extra $30 on the LTE version on the off chance it would work with my Google Fi data only sim.
question is, i don't seem to have a sim slot, this looks like a micro sd slot to me. (the spot where a sim would go doesnt have a cut-out)
Am i missing something, or did i get the wifi only version?
Part B: If this does happen to be a wifi only version, it is even worth it to me to try to get them to exchange it, would it even have worked with Project Fi?
The LTE version has a different tray for sure - the sim card goes adjacent to the SD card, basically where that extra black area is. No idea about project FI, but my LTE tablet works in Toronto Canada on LTE pretty well.
Only the LTE Version has GPS. So try to use Google Maps
Hi!
Got my LTE version today and it sure looks different. I also had a sticker behind where it shows you, how to put micro sd AND sim-card into it.
Funny thing is, I even got a SIM card from China
