How many people on here have the king of doublecard twin sim adapter off ebay and how are you getting on with them?
Does the battery still fit ok?
Mine arrived today & I fitted it in a matter of a couple of minutes - the battery still fits, the two SIMs lie flat no problem.
I've also splashed out on the WIVIT SIM Status switching software
I have the one where you have to cut the sims, working very well. Done quite a few for friends, cant go wrong. Try it, no need to pay for a switcher, it has an stk app that does that
king of doublecard working great for me.
THANKS GUYS was looking forsomething like this, just orded mine
***********************

can you explain further ...with pics would be nice
thanks
anyone got a link to this on ebay? cant find it anywhere!
I did a post somewhere on the board showing you ebay links and methods.
I've got one without the stk app, so you have to go to flight mode off, then on, to switch, but cutting the sim cards, although risky, can be done successfully, as I've done it with an O2 contract and orange PAYG.

did people actually slice up their SIMs ??? :shock:
Hi guys go mine and it works atreat now , bought it from ebay
Not going to lie to you, the product is made from poor :twisted: quality but from £3. I get my money worth, and it does the job the ways i can switch are either by doing a soft rest or by puting the phone into flightmode and then back to normal phone mode, , iv addedsomepics for your benifit. :arrow:
Guys, I've got a magician and I sliced and diced my cards fine.
Had troubles getting the Magician to register the sims, but that was because of it not providing enough pressure on the back of the SIM (stick some paper into the metal sleave to correct this).
This is the ebay link for the one I bought:
Look for "UNIVERSAL DUAL SIM **SHIPPED FROM THE UK**". I cost me about £3. The card is fine, the guy was ok, but shipping was steep from London (ie P&P is hiked up, but overall can't complain).
It works, but there is another one out with an "STK" menu built in to switch cards by going into the SimToolKit program. However, it's easy enough to go to flight mode and back quickly enough to switch. I read that this one drains battery faster. No comment on that. It worked for me.
So: SLICING DOES WORK. But, do it carefully. I've posted about 10 times on this - do it carefully, ensure you remove the transparent guide sticker after the cutting, and check it in a nokia or another phone before putting it in the Magician, to convince yourself you've done the slicing correctly
That ebay guy will also "stamp cut" the cards for you for free if you post them to him.
Good luck!
No, it's not possible to have two sims working simultaneously. Best we can hope for is 2 lines per sim, like Orange's Line2 service.
There are some cards that are 16in1 card copiers etc. these don't work in the UK, and will fubar your SIM when trying to crack the encryption. Be warned

There was a phone once, sometime in 2000 I think, it was a benefon dual band (1800/900) that worked in europe. That phone had two SIM slots. Too bad they did not make more

2sims working at once in a pda,, i know mate but let me keep on hoping lol
what about the data settings then?
sounds great, I am tempted to go for it, but do you have to re-enter the GPRS settings each time you switch from a sim card to another? Since say, O2 and orange don't use the same proxy servers to connect to the web via GPRS, I guess the right proxy details must be entered after each switch. Am I wrong? Can you connect to O2 mobile web using your o2 sim card, then switch to your orange sim and connect to orange world without making any change to the connections details?
Cheers
I think you will have to reenter the details each time.
However, if you're in the UK, there are cabs available on the board, or from Buymobilephones.net, with all the settings in one file.
So, switch to o2, click the cab and you're running. And likewise with Orange etc.
V
You can create all different accounts in the network section and just choose the right one you want to use. I have one SIM now, but several accounts for GPRS usage, MMS, dial-up connections etc. I just select the one I want to use in Settings-Connections-Advanced-Select Networks. The only problems that could exist are with sms and voice mail accounts, but I think these are stored in the network in combination with your sim card, so these should be ok as well.
that's great -thanks

I am seriously considering getting a king of double card for my SX66.
Can I still use the apps on my SIM (the ones accessed through "SIM Toolkit" or will I lose that ability once I use KODC ?

I got a t mobile contract and bought a XDAIIs or blue angle and unlocked the phone using the software. it excepts my sim card but wont allow calls in or out of the phone. and when i tried to call it the operator said calls to this number are tempory out of services. any ideas would be very much welcome.

I also had XDAIIs and used T-Moblie , no problem at all , if you cant call or the number aew tempory , than you need to call T-mobile and ask them change your sim card ,
I also use a prepaid tmobile sim card as well. I had them try it at the store before I even gave them my money.
Sounds like a dud sim, In switzerland sim cards that are pre-paid and not used for a long time get taken of the network, could this be your case?
Try the sim in another phone
I know this is probably going to turn out to be a bit of a silly question, but is there any way to have a dual SIM holder installed in the phone, but have it either have both active at all times, or have it auto-switch when there is activity on one of the SIM's?
I have a work phone (which is some bottom-end Nokia junk) and my own personal phone, soon to be a XDA Orbit, and I would like to combine the two into the Orbit.
The trouble is, I need to have the work phone on during business hours, but I still don't want to miss personal calls or texts on my own mobile.

Not a silly question, i want it 2 if it would be possible.
U need a phone with 2 phoneprocessors (2 networks need 2 be monitored). The artemis has only 1 phone processor, so it isnt possible. I have heard the are not very well known chines phones (no pda function) with have these availabilities. You then also have 2 slots for simcards.
While searching Google for Dual SIM mods for Artemis, I came across a Japanese phone which was Triband, had Bluetooth, GPRS and a MiniSD slot which had two SIM slots and could connect to both networks at once.
It looked rubbish, and used a rip off Sony Ericsson interface system by the looks of it, but it was touch screen.

Yups, those i meant.
CECT produces dual SIM pdas but they have only fake Windows Mobile, I have seen one picture where it seems to have it and I think that claim it has WM5, but I doubt it. Even it one of them has it, it looks so ugly I would never buy it!
I have a dual SIM adapter in my Artemis, it worked correctly only with the original HTC WM5 and with B&B v4.1 - the O2 WM6 has the wrong drivers. But with this dual SIM adapter I can't receive two calls at the same time from two different SIM cards, one is always inactive. The only thing I could thing of is call divertion from the other cards as long as you are on the other SIM cars, but you would have to pay for that if you don't have a flatrate or free minutes.
I didn't think of setting up a call divert on the second SIM.
It may be a good idea, as if someone texts me on the 2nd SIM, it can't be that important.
What do you mean the O2 WM6 ROM has the wrong drivers? I'm getting the XDA Orbit on O2 shortly, and will probably be flashing with the O2 WM6 ROM as I don't want to go farting about with cooked ROM's at least until I've had it a while.
If you are planning on using a dual sim adapter in your xda then it won't show you correctly which provider you are using.
I have Vodafone and T-Mobile and used to have the German O2 ROM on my HTC P3300 (because they had WM6 first). I had WM5 from HTC before that and used SPB Mobile Shell. Only one of the SIM cards was active at a time.
When I switched on my phone SPB Mobile Shell would show me which provider I was using. With the WM6 update from O2 it would only show me the same provider even if I switched to the other card. The provider info was updated only after a reset which would switch from one to the other card anyways. I was able to get the information about the SIM card through a network request ( checked what my mailbox number was).
In B&B 4.1 is a newer WM6 core version, I think it's from the HTC Kaiser or Touch. Now it shows me correctly in battery status or any other software which SIM card I am using.
If you don't plan on using any dual SIM adapters you can buy whatever device you want. If you buy one I'd recommend you to buy an analog adapter instead of a digital adapter because they consume a lot less power. If you really wanna buy one ask me about it.
Hello I want to buy one dual sim adapter for my artemis.
I've got WM6 with B&B 5's rom.
My cards are from Vodafone and Movistar (I don't know if it cares).
Where can I find one?
Thanks

I have not tried it yet, but perhaps an adapter similar to this one might address your needs:

Ok, thanks i`m going to buy one, and i will write with the results i`ve got.
HKC...
There is a PDA WM6 phone with 2 sim slots and runs both sims at the same time..
Its called the HKC W1000
No... Not HTC... but HKC
youtube/google/yahoo it...
It only goes and bloody works.
Downside=200hz chippy whippy...and low ram... but it is def a start....
Hope that helps....
I am going to be trying those two items,basicly they do the same thing,well... almost,but in a diferent way!
Ofcourse they don't have both sims active.
Those patents are ascosiated with some phones better (they create an extra menu so that you can change sims without turning on and off your phone)
ButWith WM phones i don't think this could happen, i am almost certen that you have to restart yout phone!

Good Morning, long time member who used to have the original XDA, went away but am now back
Picked up a Desire yesterday SIM free after selling my iPhone (good decision)
I have an iPhone PAYG sim where you top up £10 only once and get free internet access
for a whole year
I have 6 months left to run on this and was wondering if I could use this sim card
in my Desire
Is it just the APN settings I need to get right
Thanks in advance
i did the same thing and put my iphone pay and go sim in my desire . the apn etc should all be the same payandgo.02.co.uk??? if i remember rightly. i had to alter it to get it going . but make sure you inform o2 as i promptly lost 20 quid when i used up my data .... there is a lag as it changes from iphone to o2. best to arrange it first before you put in the sim .so far my usage has been ok as its not strictly unlimited internet like on iphone. i recommend you install 3g watchdog to keep an eye on data
wont o2 figure out that the sim isnt in an iphone? how do you get around that?
you dont, it lets you use wifi and internet for month then switches you to tariff with free internet but not wifi. thats why you have to let them know otherwise during changeover you lose all your credit on data !!

This is the coolest part to me! You long precede me as an XDA-devs member -- and so i salute for for having the original XDA... Just because I like story-telling, were you active here until iphone came out, then left, or did you leave before you got your iphone?
And how do you like the Desire's capacitive screen "feel" and lightness of touch compared to your iphone? sorry to be off-topic... just curious, and cheers, welcome back!

I left way before the iPhone came out, in fact I still have an XDA 2i at home somewhere. My work provided me with a Blackberry so I moved to using they devices until I got the Desire last week. I haven't had time to have a proper play but I love the Desire just the 'Live' wallpapers get me excited.
I look forward to to spending alot more time on here from now on

Can you PM or post the settings you have as mine still fails to connect and o2 say they
can't help me because they don't support the phone yet!!!
Cheers mate
I've just upgraded my iPhone 3G contract to a Desire and all they did was swap the sim straight over and change it on the computer in the o2 shop, in the past two weeks i've had the desire i've found the internet to be painfully slow and the amount of dropped phone calls terrible in areas where the iPhone had no problems! Should I go into o2 and have a word and could it have anything to do with the sim card being originally for an iPhone?
Thanks in advice for any help!
Well certainly isnt sim card problem, have you gone through all the settings to make sure 3g is switched on.I am waiting for my Desire to arrive as they
are sold out but I now have to pay extra £5 amonth to get 3g it no longer comes free with a £35 contract.So maybe you didnt upgrade your contract let us no the out come.
I had this problem on the iPhone, HD2 and the Desire. It IS O2!

Well I have Hd2 at the moment but waiting for Desire (probably wednesday according to o2)which do you prefer of these two phones.Im all iphoned out not even 4g interests me now.
Well im on o2, and have a contract iphone sim in it that hasn't been altered in any way (waiting for the phone call from o2! Or extra large data bill!) But anyway, I have no speed issues. Quicker than my 3gs! People knock o2 but its good for m me where I live and work.
