Anyone know of a dual or triple sim card holder for the PDA2K that will fit under the battery ? :roll:

Instead of using a SIM-Adaptor that requires normally the Phone to Power On and Off to switch the SIM-Card, i use on my MDA3 "SIM-Max".

As my holder of two SIM-Cards would not fit into my MDA3 anymore I looked around and found http://www.sim-max.biz/affiliates/1319095.php

For US$ 100.00 you get a SIM-Card Reader AND a Blank SIM-Card. You then can copy your SIM-Cards onto your PC and once you have all your SIM-Cards there you copy them (Up to 12) to the Blank-SIM Card. If you have a Second Phone or Car-GSM-Phone you can also add additional SIM Cards (about US$ 50.00 per Blank SIM) and have all the SIM-Cards again at hand there.

To Switch between the stored SIM-Cards there is a "STK Operator-Menu" that appears in most phones (MDA3/PDA2K/QTEK9090 etc. it does appear!) and gives access to that menu. Some older and unfortunately also some modern Car-GSM-Phones unfortunately not :-( so test before you order to many blank SIM’s

It is recommended to have the same PIN associated with all GSM-Cards you put together.

There is even a Menu, that allows IF NO PIN IS SET to switch automatically i.E. every 10 Minutes from one SIM-Card to the next, so you don't miss SMS's on all Cards without manually switching.

For most cases you do not need this anyway as you most probably want to have sever countries SIM-cards handy in one phone.

i.E. I travel between the US and Switzerland frequently. In the US I have "T-Mobile" and in Switzerland "Swisscom" and Prepaid "Orange".

As my MDA3 has Problems with Bluetooth Dial-Up-Networking for GPRS I have at the same time also a T-Mobile Copy in my SonyEr. P900. I do not need to switch GSM Cards anymore back and forward between the Phones. Just don't have the same SIM Card in two Phones "online" at the same time, that causes confusion in the network and although it show reception in both phones, you most likely will not get any inbound calls and outbound may be restricted.
