hi giuys like the header says i would like to sim lock my phone... what i mean is that i want my phone to work only with my sim... i've tried to search on the forum for it but with no results... can you help me???
thanks in advance
hi. first of all, if your phone is sim locked, it not gonna work only with your sim but with every sim card of your network ( vodafone in your case); secondly i've never heard about something or somehow to sim-lock again a phone!!! ask Olinex, may be he knows!!! good luck
i didn't mean the general sim-lock like the branded phones have i mean maybe a lite app that runs when you start the phone and blocks you from using the phone if there is no sim or it isn'tt the sim you've previously registered...
aahhh okayyyy, you mean something like the nokia's phone locking if the sim is changed! i've understood now! i was looking for it me too but i've never found a bit! we'll stay in touch, if i find something intresting i'll tell you ciao

I got what you need but it is shareware [you have to pay for it].
It is for Wm 5 but i think that it will support higher too.
Did you search on google?
Here is the link: [click].
I searched for the "cra**ed" version but all links are dead or fake.
hi thanks for the reply guys
if you can use password protection why bother such thing!!!
okay, password may be broken by software, but same thing for any kind of security also.
anyway, a program can be written such as:
small memory residence program which will check the sim nr. in every few min.
if not matched, will enter into Airport Mode + screen lock
keep checking every few min.
if it matched the nr. stored before (encrypted) will unlock airport mode+screen
or the program will only trigger at the stratup or sim change

Ok here’s my question,
I would like to have my PHONE password to be prompt on booting,
and not the SimCard asking the pincode
but to secure my data (& phonebill)
i would like to know if its possible
like back in the days on my NOKIA :s (yah I know)
I could select the option, on phone swapping the simcard the phone would ask for the puk code
so the card wouldn’t b usable without pin on another phone
(id rather not lose my phone but u never know right?)
Is there a way?
thx a lot,
Kartboy
From what i remember (had a 3210 and a (oh yes baby) 7110) the option was for the phone to ask for a security code when a different sim was put in it yer?
There was a security setting which if set to the highest would promt for this code whenevr the phone was powered up aswell.
The sim code option is what i use at the moment on my TyTN as i have always locked my sim card, but afaik there isnt an option for when a different sim/usim card is inserted.
yah the 7110 was a funny one .. matrix style .. had 2 of em since my first on crashed on a wall on a bad night lol
yah those are the settings i mean,
u think that if i did that setting on the nokia b4 it will still remain on the sim?
No the sim card wouldnt retain that sort of info, when you setup sim lock it retains THAT setting but not phone specific ones, there isnt much security-wise as standard in WM5-6. Perhaps look for a 3rd party solution to this??? Or if you are feeling adventurous develop your own!? (in the xda-devs spirit!)

Hell yes the 7110 was a GREAT phone
I was considering this option,
since i got some clients who prefer using blackberry (i dun get why)
with the reason that,
if u fail 5times ur code @ boot the device getz erased,
which is pretty good for privacy i think,
i mean if i lose my phone
i can lock my sim with the provider easily but u dun need to activate the sim to b able to check all the info on the phone, which scarez me more
ow by the way the radio 38 any good?

Seems ok yer, My 3G and GSM are both still very good (most improvment was from 1.27, the radios since have all been very good). My main reason for upgrading to 1.38.00.10 was that the GPS chip is a dead end, so i figured having a radio that isnt capable of turning it on will remove that headache if it goes wrong, and also my previous radio (1.35.00.11) was a trinity radio and the new one is a hermes radio, better all round
lol I am a retard,
clicked the wrong filename.. installed the 35.00.11 instead of the 38.00.11
will keep the forum updated bout it...
thx man

As per my knowledge, ther is two types of "multi sim"
1- the one that holds both of your sims into some smal circut, and there is a third sim connected to the circut, which you insert into the back of your phone, and keep the rest of the circut into the cover back.
2- there is another type, that you cut a small peice of your two sims , and re-attach it to a new SIM, and insert it into the sim hole into the phone.
the difference is if have a place in the back of your phone for the first type, use it, cause it keeps your sims in a good condition and can be used in any other phone, if you don't have a space for the circut, so you have to use the second type, but you can't use any of the sims separte, because you have already cut it.
now, the important part of that all, that you can't use both SIMs at the same time, none of the above solutions can make you online on both SIMs, because your phone of course dosn't support it, the phone is disigned to deal with one network only at the time, the above solutions only makes you to switch your phone off, then re-switch it on, to find your self on the other SIM, and you can do re-switching your phone to back to the first SIM.
hope that I was clear, and hope there is a program some day that can deal with both SIMs at the same time

thank for your generous replay ,but not all of the second tipe are compatible with our device and just for this reason, i send mail to them but i don't think that their dual sim works for jasjar ,this is the reason because they dosen't replay me nothing .
Did you find a solution to your problem? i have the same problem & can't find any solution

no,unfortunately and it seems so strang than nobody is interested in it
I did sent an email and I did get a reply (in dutch )
Apparently the dual sim sollution should be usable in our universal, u cut your sim card to pieces (cut the chip out) and put it in a specialy made simcard, that fits exactly in the universal like a normal simcard would.
In a special sim menu u can choose which one of the sim cards is used, BUT they cant be used at the same time if u wanted that u have to buy a dual dim phone, which probably has two radio circuits....

thank for your replay, but unfortunatly if it has a menu ,it's certainly not compatible for jasjar ,just tested this kind of dualsim.
Hi,
there is a third type of multi sim, it is the SuperSIM 16 in 1.
Phisically it is just like a normal SIM, but it can contain up to 16 virtual SIMs.
see: http://www.duosim.com
You need a special SIM and a hardware reader/writer (to be connected to a usb port), then you read your original SIMs and copy them to the SuperSIM with the progam delivered in the kit.
I bought one, I can read my SIMs, but when I try to write to the SuperSIM I receive an error (write failed!)
I wrote many times to the seller via web, e-mail and normal mail, but I had no reply, so I wasted my money and I still need a dual SIM.
I don't like to cut my SIMs, I previously bought a "type 1" (as described by mehegazy) but I cannot close the SIM holder on my Qtek9000.
Bye.

Hi,
I had exactly the same problem like you, and I started searching about.
I figured out with a lot of testing, that using the program "SuperSIM LY-600" from the link "http://www.duosim.com/download.html", totaly solved my problem, so now I have the supersim 16in1 loaded in my qtek9000 using up to 5 different numbers.
I hope that helps you.
Beware using the 16 in one sim cloning system.
Cloning your sim is in contradiction of you terms with the service provider, and can be illegal in some countries. IN brief: If yer caught yer busted!
Oh dont bother if you have a Vodafone UK sim as they use a Triple DES encryption on the card that simply will take you a year to break before you can brute force the IMSI and KA. Oh and yes I have played with this in the past.

Hi Jolas,
I used LY-600 as you suggested and now I can write to the supersim - GREAT!
Thank you very much.
But how can I switch between my two numbers on my Qtek900?
Is there a new menu? Where?
Switching the phone on and off doesn't switch the numbers.
Thank you again.

I'm happy this hepled you.
In the programs menu, you will find a shortcut names "STK". Just use it and you will find the menu 'switch number'.
In case you don't have the STK service, then probably you'll need a new ROM which is suppotring this service.

Hi Jolas,
you are very kind.
I cannot find an icon STK under Programs folder, maybe my ROM does not support this service, as you said.
I tested the supersim on other cellphone and it works, so the SIM seems to be OK.
I'll will further investigate.
Anyway thanks a lot !
Best wishes.

Does the original sim card still works after the cloning?

Yes, it does, but be aware you can't use the same time the same number through two different sims because your phone provider is going to lock your sim .
Hello,
Does anyone know how many times i can enter a wrong code to sim-unlock a HTC phone, before the phone block itself ?
Does it depend on the model? I have a P3300.
Might be 3 or 5?
Thank you.
Any idea?
it's handled by the sim card itself not the phone
here it's always 3 but could vary with other countries
and companys
heck it even tell me 3 times max when i type in the sim after
a softreset
Ooops,
Thank you for the answer.
My question dealed with the network lock, if the phone is locked to a specific carrier and i want to use a sim from a different provider, i have to enter a code to allow this.
In that case, the number of attempts should be handled in the phone, but i will check this.
Thanks.
whenever i get a message from t-mobile it says its sent from one of my facebook contacts. not even someone i have in my phone contacts, just someone i have on facebook.

Google is your friend! Search for T-mobile SIM PIN.... if you had done you would have found this in the first post.. probably quicker than posting here & waiting for my reply too
The PIN code for your T-Mobile SIM card is printed on the delivery slip that comes with the SIM card.
If in doubt, try T-Mobile's default PIN code for SIM cards, which is 1210.
Note that you get three tries to enter the PIN, and your phone will be locked if you fail after these tries. You'll then need to contact T-Mobile to get a PUK code.
1210 or 1212 i think ... dunno should be on the SIM pack on the letter.

Hi All,
I have bought an unlocked HTC about 3 years ago, and basically, this works with any SIM. I have used it all over Europe, with no problems. However I am having trouble using it here in the UK.
Any ideas as to why this is happening?
How about some more information, eg what sim, what troubles, etc.

The SIM is Vodafone, and I cannot connect to the network, ie no calls or sms. I tried the SIM in another phone and it works. So it is the HTC that is giving problems. And I am sure that the HTC is unlocked, since I have tried other SIM cards when in Europe and all of them worked.
I have another SIM from Vodafone from another country in Europe, and it does not work either inside the HTC.
Possible cure?
If you don't have a SIM PIN, try setting one. If you already have one, skip that step. Then, try changing your screen security, for example from Slider to a PIN and then back to Slider.
I put a known good SIM in my phone in the UK and had no wireless connectivity until I forced the phone to ask me for my SIM pin while it was running (i.e., not on boot - rebooting didn't help). For some reason, changing the screen security triggered a request to enter the SIM pin, and then suddenly wireless was back.
I can't repeat the cause of the lost connectivity, but I have repeated this cure on subesquent occasions when I've lost wireless.
Take your HTC to Vodafone. There might be some settings missing.

Good news. But you're still gonna need that PUK code one day if there's a SIM pin and you don't know it!
