Dual SIM Adapter - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm planning to order an Xperia ARC, but since I always wear 2 different phones, and this one is really big, I'd like to share the phone for the 2 sims.
Has anybody used a dualsim adapter with this model? Which model? How does it works? Does it fit inside the phone correctly?
Thanks in advance.

Has anybody tested a dual sim adapter?

What the F is a dual sim adapter?

@grouchomrx: no idea, sorry. Assuming the final size of the adapter (once you've cut the sims) is no bigger than a standard sim then it may well fit (not much space in the phone...), but i have no idea whether it'll work or not.
@Blomkungen: obviously youre not a golfer...

If u were to get one you'd have to switch from one to the other its no simultaneously
Sent from my Arc using XDA premium App

Of course, no simultaneously. I just wonder if it works, and in case someone tested, which model.
Simore seems not been checked yet...

Has anybody tested yet?
Thx

U try urself and let us know

I' waiting to receive the ARC today or tmrw. But I don't want to expend 60 euros to find it does not work... :S

Hi, I use a 'Magic Sim 26th A (cut)' I had from my last phone and that works OK for me in my Arc.
I got it from Euro Dual Sim. I see they have a 28th version now.

which is the best dual sim adapter ?

Hi all!
which is the best dual SIM (sometimes called ghost sim, or twin sim) adapter for prophet?
I saw many auctions on ebay, but I don't know which one to buy.. :?
is this good?
http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...50007856399&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1
Of course I don't want to cut the SIM, but I don't know if there is enough room for bending the adaptor, or if it does fit well and it isn't too thick..
I also saw this one (I know that it requires to cut the sims):
http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...50007376601&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1
is this ok? or is it too thick?
If someone is successfully using such a device, could kindly answer to this thread? :?:
It would be great if I could see some images of the PDA and the adapter...
Thank you :wink:
i too wouldnt mind knowing this.?
anyone?
Yeah... me too
None of the duo sims adapters you pointed out are good.
You need to find an ANALOG duo sim.
The digital version drains the battery.
http://www.vavolo.com/productdetails.asp,ProductID,2397,,.htm
You will need to cut your cards - no way around it.
You can also find these at Ebay.

I sell the proper ones for this phone model
Price is £13 delivered anywhere in the UK
E-mail me at [email protected] for more details
If you are unsure of me then check in the universal and the orbit forums where members have bought from me before

Dual Card Simore
Hi all,
I found and buy the Black type I from Simore.
I've made a test there : http://bbtiloute.free.fr/BQTel/Simore.htm
I said, at the end, I made it for Mobiles-Live.com, friends of me, but don't worry : 'I' am Ti-Loute, and it's a free access ;-)
But ... It's wrote in french ...

Brando - Powerful Dual Card (10th era)
I'm using this one for more then a year and never have any problem and it's only $27.00US...
http://mobile.brando.com.hk/PowerfulDualCard10.php
No need to cut card
No need to switch power to set card
Love It!
Not for Prophet ?!?
Yes, it should be better if we didn't have to cut card.
But it seems not to be compatible with Prophet (the original question ;-)) Does it ?
hi ti-loute.
Do you know if the silmore dual sim works with a 3G/EDGE sim (can you connect to the Orange wap for exemple with your sim in the adapter ?)
Hi Tonio,
My SIM card is working on EDGE'.
When I was using the Wap, I did it through GPRS, but Orange has 'loosen' my GPRS connection when I've taken my S200 under 'fidelity' program.
So, I can't promise that Wap is compatible with that card ... But technically, I don't know why it wouldn't be right ...
It must be magicsim dual sim. I'm using their new 26th 3g dual sim, very nice

Dual Sim On Artemis

Hi,
I just got myself a T-mobile Artemis (dutch version).
Pretty content with it, but still figuring out how to use that internal GPS receiver. Tomtom 6 starts up but the searching for sattelite takes rather a long time and I give up in the end. (yes, QuickGPS was succesfully used)
But the GPS troubles are not my main concerns.
I live near the border between belgium and Holland and have two phones. I am going to be unlocking my Artemis using the currently only available method.
Once unlocked I'd like to be bale to put both my sim cards into my Artemis.
The only solution I could find was
http://www.hot-wire-telekom.de/index.php?aktion=detail&suche=HTC P3300&&asuche=HW130010
and
http://www.hot-wire-telekom.de/index.php?aktion=detail&suche=HTC P3300&&asuche=HW130724
Has anyone tried this before and does it work. Any other solutions out there I should know about. And which option to go for, the digital or analog (I roughly know the difference just not how they relate to my sim cards).
I thank you all now for the help you'll give me.
Found one that works no cutting up your sim needed
Hi all,
I've got a private and company sim and have used my Magician with a Brando 10th era dual sim adapter.
Tried it with my htc p3300 and it works flawlessly. No need to cut your sims.
Only thing I have to figure out how to fit the battery cover.
For my Magician I removed a bit from the battery.
Might be possible but first will have to get me an experimenatal battery
http://mobile.brando.com.hk/PowerfulDualCard10.php
here ya go!
I am told that GSRM (data) does not work but calls do.
Have you had any luck with data?
Robin
Actually I am guessing I meant GPRS?

Well - what's that amazing phone model that runs on two networks? As far as I know there was only one model out there that could do such thing but even with some limits. Any dual-sim adapters won't do that.
well there is actually about 7 models out there that do this m8

Dual sim adapters and Gmate are different things. You'll be fine with an adapter I'd say

Hi,does 3 sim connect when used in adaptor in galaxy w?

First ever Sony !!

Greetings,
This will be my first ever Sony unit and I really don't
know what unit to get! I always get an unlocked version
and put Rogers Sim card in it.
Is there a North American variant available?
If not, is there an international version then?
And what is the difference if any between single and dual sim units?
Thank you for your help.

Well, use the force, Luke !
North American (international minus fingerprint functionality) == no finger print scanner (?), enable via firmware flash [details in forum]
single, dual sim - single has single, dual has dual sim functionality
I recently bought the international version and am using it on Rogers. Works perfectly been using it for a month.
