Would anyone be interested in these? I will be getting stock in a few days time. Price will be £12 delivered. Expensive but these ones are guaranteed to fit and work the Orbit.

If price is too much then please don't flame me, no one is forcing anyone to buy, I would just like to know if people are interested so I can make a bigger order.

Hello!

Digital or analog? Cause I had a digital in my Orbit and I could watch the battery draining off. My fully loaded battery was empty after 2 days with max 15 min of use inbetween.

OK just to let you people know that's me got TWO in stock now at the moment, I will be ordering more once I know how people are interested. I have opened ONE up and TRIED it in my ORBIT and it is working PERFECT. I am in the UK and am using o2 AND mobileworld with NO PROBLEMS at all !

For those of you who don't know what this is, this is basically ONE SIMCARD HOLDER which allows you to use TWO simcards IN IT. So you can SWITCH between networks WITHOUT the need to SWAP SIMS !

Any questions PM me.

Cost is £12 delivered anywhere in UK
£15.50 for international

That is my prices so if anyone is not happy please don't post here, for those who are happy with the price then PM me to sort of details

Hi I am interested in these is there any chance you could post up some pictures of these and explain if any modification for the sim card is needed?

Also how do you switch between the two sims is there a menu etc?

I'm interested in doing this so I can use two sim cards in my XDA Orbit, I'm just a little bit concerned about cutting my SIM cards. Ideally I'd like to find a way of copying two SIM cards into a single new SIM but I've never seen anything like that.

Once you've fitted the dual SIM how do you switch between them or are they both active simultaneously?

nothing dodgy about cutting the sims m8, they come with GHOST sims which allow you to re-use your CUT UP SIMCARDS just as you would a normal simcard, simply place your small simcard inside the full size simcard and voila....you have a NORMAL simcard again. so you are NOT forced to use the dual sim if you don't want to.

cannot use 2 networks at same time m8, you have to switch between them but you don't have to turn the phone off or reset.

PM me for more info. already sold lots of these with no bad comments or problems so far. I was the first one to try it out, so I used my simcards and my own orbit as the test hamsters. so don't worry

yeah m8 really sorry for the delay, I am normally very quick with postage but had to go abroad for Chinese New Year so that was the hold up sorry. Anyway let me know how you get on as I personally use one and find it great.

hello

thesedual sim holders work a treat as i had one in my universal (xda Exec) and worked perfect. i sold the exec and bought the orbit and am still using the same dual sim holder, ie the cut version.
WORD OF WARNING - be very careful when cutting the sim as one wrong cut renders the sim useless and you will have to order another one, i know from experience as i have personally ruined one.... just follow the template and draw a line then using scissors cut the sim making sure that the line is visible and some of the extra sim part then use a blade to shave it to the correct size. this method worked for me for all the other times i cut the sim.

anyway once you have it working i have got a piece of software which a few of us 'developed' its called Wivit Sim Switch Software and basically you can use this program to switch between the 2 numbers without turning flight mode on and off, its quicker, and it tells you (most of the time) what sim is actually in the phone. This software was designed for WM2003 but we managed to get all the dll files etc and compile them into this utility. it is supposed to be a 15 day trial but the countdown timer takes a lot more than 15 days to count down, (i have neve seen it countdown to '0' as yet) so enjoy it.

12-4 - I just ordered one from the Internet. will have it in about three or four days.
16-4 - Nothing received yet... patiently waiting to cut my simscards, gheghe...
19-4 - Got the package in safe and sound.

Problem is that I cut the sims as per instructions, but when inserted in mobile it is not recognized....
When I use the pink sim-extention and insert one sim in my phone, everything works just splendid.

How come two sims are nog reconized. contacts of dual-sim card should be working normal.

Kinda need some help

How does that device work then?

There seems to be a lot of negative comments on ebay feedbacks about these only working on older sims and/or killing newer ones! I was tempted until I read a few of the comments.

search ebay for 12 in 1 sim then run the seller names through toolhaus.org
