Anyone tried one of the myriad of Dual SIM adapters in a Desire yet ?
From what i've seen there is one which you cut your SIM and put 2 in a holder which should fit into the standard SIM slot, but i'd rather not cut my SIM. The second type of dual SIM holder is one which the second SIM is typically folded over the battery with a ribbon cableSP2,,{/w].
So has anyone tried the second type please and does the battery cover fit ok after the adapter is inserted ?
(yes i know two SIM's cannot be active at the same time, but i need the switchable feature without popping out the battery every time i travel out of country for work where the roaming charges are ridiculous)
I tried both with my touch hd. The battery was heavily affected even if manufacterer said it wouldn't.
Now i just carry two phones

I tried the "MagicSIM 2008 20th edition" from deal extreme, it only worked when the Desire was locked to GSM mode only.
3G mode didn't work in a Nokia handset either, so I think the switcher was to blame rather than the Desire causing issues.

I have Simore Dual Sim in my Desire, but he only see one sim card. So i cannot recomend it.
any updates?
I use Simore Platinum, work well. Some time lost a 2 SIM, I have to remove the adapter and check the SIM is a good position.

How does it work with data communication?
I mean if you have SIM1 with one operator and specific APN, when you change to SIM2 with different APN how does that work??
Other question, how do you change SIM, I guess via Simore software. Is it good?, is it fast in change from one active SIM1 to activate other SIM2?
Sorry but I never had dual sim adapter (only dual sim dual standby phones) in a smartphone.
Hi,
I just ordered a Magic SIm 26th for my desire and I'll post my findings here.

Number Hide and Number Edit.
I ended up getting the 26th cutting for my HTC desire off ebay. If you email the guy who's selling the no-cut version (he's the cheapest i could find) he also sells the cutting version which works with the HTC Desire. I've had it working for a few days now.....running smoothly! I'll report back in a week or so and let u all know if its still running nice.
Not sure what the No.Hide and No.Edit functions do....i might email the guy i bought it off and ask
R
This is still working great. For anyone who's interested I've also had it working in my Girlfriends HTC Wildfire.

Dose anyone know if you can get one that works with the 3 UK network? Most of the ones I've seen say they are not compatible with 3 UK network.
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows of any dual sim adapters that work with the HTC Wildfire? Tried googling but the sites that come up only list adapters but do not seem to promise that these adapters work with this phone.
Have a personal number and a work number that are separate and it would be handy to just carry around one phone.
Thanks
Dual Sim for wildfire
You got me interested in this and my search came up with this company that says it does work with the wildfire
cant post the link because of forum restrictions, but if you google the company at simore.ch you will be able to find it from there. It says the platinum and platinum plus are compatible.
They seem really good and have videos showing how to do every step. The only thing that worries me is having to cut up the sim cards which I hear is normal for a dual sim adapters.
I just got a 26th gen cutting Magic Sim dual sim for my HTC Desire from a seller on ebay (he was the cheapest seller by a mile) i've also tried it in my girlfriends Wildfire and it worked a treat!
If you want info on the seller i got it off just PM me as i doubt i'd be allowed to post it on here.
Cheers
R
yeah, love to have one too
i advice you to do not do that becuas it use so much of the battery near 3x
when you have the duel sim in it.. can you be could by both numbers. or do you have to switch firts to be reached at one of the numbers..
Because i'm loocking for somthing that i can be reachable at two number at the same time..
sorry of my englisch.
Its extremely unlikely that both will be reachable at the same time by using those adapters, although I havent seen / used them personally.
If you want a dual standby phone, get a proper Dual SIM phone.
Dual Sim
Here in the philippines its normal to have dual sim phones, also we do have tripple sims because we have 3 different network provider....
But i dont suggest to have dual sim on HTC
1 it destroys the quality
2 it voids warranty
3 it suck to put dual sim on HTC phones. it lowers the value

I have never ever seen an Android phone with a dual sim... But I want to
this could be very functional. and could save a lot of time switching cards.
there are a few dual sim android phones like http://www.fonearena.com/blog/33946/motorola-xt800-dual-sim-android-phone-review.html
but only 550mhz cpu...
all the dual sim androids are gsm+cdma
sadly these dual sim adapters cant do dual sim standby....
meaning u cant call or recieve calls and sms when u select the first sim on the second sim

Check out Motorola XT800. Its dual SIM (GSM+CDMA) phone, but too expensive for its specifications.
http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_xt800_zhishang-3073.php
EDIT: unreal3000, didn't notice that you too provided a link of the same model.
would this be a form of plug and play or would you need to solder it on mobo of the phone?

none of them need soldering...but most of them require you to cut both the sims
to make them smaller...dont worry it wont damage the sim and they give u an adapter incase you want to use the sims again....but the ones which can use 3g are much more expensive!
cutting them in pieces to make em fit wont be a prob, you could always get a new sim with your old phone number. and that it doesnt require soldering is a BIG +++ to this. im getting more and more interrested.
From my experience (and i have a fair bit) its a piece of cake. Never had any issues what-so-ever
With such a dualsimadaptor do you have to reboot to use the other sim or can you switch between the two simcards when your phone is on?
sorry for my noob question

Hi. I'm thinking of buying a Dual SIM adapter. I would like to know if anyone has it, I would like some opinions and see if are any problems for GSII.
Thank you.
Hello,
I'd like to see you search before posting. I'd think then you would have found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190250&highlight=dual+sim
No thanks!
Thanks, I did some research but I had not found this.
I doubt you did, because when you search for "Dual Sim" on the Galaxy S2 section that topic is the first hit..
Really? I tried not only in this section, I did a search in all sections and Google.
The point of a forum is to ask questions, questions will always be repeated, since new users join regularly. Dual sim is a topic that should be refreshed, since new developments could happen. But unfortunately, I do not think there are any new developments, the consensus is to save your money. None of the dual sim adapters currently available have been said to work. There are no reports of successful usage of dual sim adapters with the S2. I would LOVE to have one since I travel between HK and China frequently.

I successfully use a dual sim adapter with my S2. Naturally, it's a switchable system, so you won't get both of your sim cards active at the same time.
I'm using an older generation of Magic SIM, so sim cards work in GSM mode only.
I bought this version of Magic SIM couple of years ago for few bucks literally, for me works just fine.
P.S.: I guess this would be a first report of a working dual sim adapter you've heard about
Thanks, that's something. I look forward to some opinion, however, for those who use UMTS / HSPA, perhaps the last model.

Hi guys
i want to buy " HTC Desire 816 "
but i want to ask
dose the 1 Sim version get Different from the Dual Sim Version
i mean dose the Dual Sim version get Freezes like the Samsung Dual Sim phones ?
or the hardware get changes from the two versions
or its hard to find the Solving problems for the Dual Sim Version because the dual Sim is not very famous
In general which version is the best to buy?
thanks all
There exactly the same except the dual sim has two sim cards, nothing else is changed.
However single sim has NFC and dual sim does not, so if thats a big deal for you stick with single sim.
Also, single sim supports LTE but dual sim supports only upto 3G, and only in one of its slots.
however, I've had no problem regarding Mods and Roms for my Dual Sim 816, and it's the best dual sim phone I've had as I haven't had any network and antenna problems with it.
thank you guys
i asked this question because in Samsung devices the Dual Sim Version freezes a lot
and i hadn't use HTC Devices ever
i think i will take the Dual Sim version
because my country doesn't support the LTE by the way
and i don't use the NFC already
but i want to ask some other questions
winch version is more famous ?
dose the devices has notification LED ?
and what do you think is the Negatives of the device ?
thanks all

If you don't NEED two SIMs, go with the single SIM. Simply because it does have the extra features just in case.
There both just as "famous" and they bith have a notification light.
