Dual SIM adaptor

[CutePinkSox]

Does anyone know of a dual SIM that fits in and works with Touch Diamond???

Why not use an N-in-1 card that allows you to clone a SIM? I find dual SIM's to decrease battery life on WinMo devices. A Ghost SIM should fit perfectly fine however.

Hi there,

I tried the dual sim adaptors from hot-wire-telekom.

I tried both

the digital:
hot-wire explains that this can cause problems - and it doesnot work
the analog:
should work - but it doesnot
I tried both with a Siemens S55 and it worked (digital version needs a lot of power - only about on third standby left).

I will have to contact the guys from hot-wire to ask what to do with the diamond.

To be continued...

Hmmm interesting... http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/dualsim/magicsim.htm like this?

Does STK stuff work with winMO 6.1 etc etc.

You sound like you know your stuff so as much info as poss would be super helpful...

many thanks

How about this one (http://gadget.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00109&dept_id=001&cat_id=044) from Brando? I'm going to order one soon. It's not cheap($27+3 shipped) though.

It says can directly switch the sim from sim menu.

The STK should work fine in Windows Mobile. DX has them the cheapest and offers free wordwide shipping. I've purchased many things from them and am very happy with their service.

I tried the Magic one and it didn't work. It looks to me that those adaptors work with Nokia type phones only.

Bummer - there must be one that actually works like the 6-in-1 magic SIM

Apparently they can cause problems with 3G/HSDPA? Anyone noticed that?

I almost got one, but having to switch over from one SIM to another and then back to the other just to see if I've missed calls/SMS's etc seems like something that I'd grow tired of very quickly.

If the Diamond had two radios, and could use two SIM's simultaneously, then that would be nice...

Yes I agree - I have put the calls on divert from my Orange number to my 3 sim works a treat problem solved for now - I am seeing a growing trend in Dual Radio phones though. Two HSDPA connections at once... LOL maybe in future we will se channel bonding ;)

[salada2k]

Now that would be interesting... It cant be too far off. To be honest, for so many years people have carried two cell phones, (some people more than two!) that I find it kind of strange no-one has tapped that market yet... These SIM adapters are the best attempt at solving the issue, but they just create more issues... I ended up porting my personal number to my work account so I could be done with the whole thing and just have one phone and one number :) I would have preferred a dual radio phone though!

[chineseleper]

I have an analog one, which works perfectly. i believe it's the magic sim 1st gen adapter... no problems with hsdpa or anything else

[p3eps]

I have one in my Diamond just now, which I previously bought for my iPhone.
I don't know what Generation it is, but its a ghost SIM which you cut your 2 SIM cards and fit into one. I simply turn the celular radio off and on to switch network - either that or reboot the device.

The problem with all the N to 1 sims (including magicsim) is that you can only clone V1 sim cards (sim cards delivered before 2002 with some countries/operators variations).
Modern sim cards are almost always V2 or V3 versions and for the moment there aren't clonable (august 2008) !!! Trying to clone a V2 or V3 sim card for using a N to 1 sims will in most cases block your sim card defnitively :( So today the interest of such multisims cards are limited ....
(for myself i had the chance to keep old V1 sim cards and using diamond now with silvercard with sim emu containing two sim clones ....)

[mweber]

I got an answer from hot-wire-telekom for the digital and analog 2-in-1 sim adaptor.
The digital one will not work with PDAs at all.
The analog one should work but there can be problems and the adaptor will not fit perfect. So I should try tape and pieces of paper to make the sim fit in the slot.

I tried it for about one hour and it only worked with one card but did not display the second.

Will take another hour tonight...

anyone who prefer 2 in1 SIM should give SIMORE product a try.. I have it in my Diamond and it works smoothly...

Perfect - Does 3G work too?!
BTW http://www.simore.ch/en/

[ediirwan]

Yes 3G does work perfectly.. I'm using Dual SIM card Gold 1... works with both Diamond and Tytn II..

I use Simore too and works fine, including 3G.

[smogdragon]

simore's GOLD1 adapter costs 69,90 euro :eek:
Did anyone understand the differences between the three versions (Gold/Black/Silver) ?

[murklor]

Just look at the features. Essentially, you get the same dual sim device (cutting or folding), but the higher you go the better extra program you get. Gold includes encrypted SMS, IP telephone system, secure notebook, SIM telephone contacts, etc etc while with the black you basicly only get the ability to change which sim you use

HI everybody

I've just buy a Diamond and i'm looking for a dual sim solution too.

Simore seems to be good. But does it have simultaneous possibilities ( 2 networks at same time ) ?

How should this work? Two networks at same time do not require a special SIM but your device will need two radios.
So your/our Diamond will never have two networks at same time. Only can change by interval.

I confirm!:)

[mterrey]

I've been looking for a dual sim too.. However, every single one I have seen says it works for all networks except 3 in the uk! I wasn't a non cutting dual sim to use with o2 and 3 (on 3 broadband) so it'd need to work with 3g. Basically I intended to switch to it whenever I wanted to use the internet..

okay ! thanks for this information ;)

I'm just about to order SIMore's X1 Black.

Earlier, someone said that GOLD works with 3g (Works in 3G bands that is).

I want to get X1 Black. Has anyone tested it successfully on a diamond with 3g band/signal/use?

[diggy128]

ive ordered a black one, ill let u guys know!

I'd be gratefull if you would!

Thanx in advance.

[RSchris]

DO NOT BUY IT !

It doesn't work with Black, I bought one and you can't use 3g, only Edge.

I send mail to support, and they just answered me they garantee voices works on 3g phone, but not 3g data... I'm not the lone people who tried, be carefull, no way...

Thanks for letting me know, its too late,i already paid for it. Its ok though. I wont need 3g data. reason is 3g just sucks the battery life so i set my band to gsm (2g) only.

i got black, but couldnt get it working. my diamond just doesnt recognise the dual sim. ive been emailing simore and waiting for a response.

[diggy128]

why not everyone using simore's ghost sims post their rom and radio version to check for which one of us this thing works. if possible write whether 3g works or not.

[xfaight]

Simore Gold works with 3G networks HDSPA data, or not? know someone respond?

[RSchris]

Ok for rom.
I use Bepe O.99dx and radio version is 1.00.25.05.

But it didn't work with original htc rom, I tried it too.

[xfaight]

He tried to use Simore Dual sim card in its gold diamond? and some q it does not work in 3G HSDPA data networks?



My ROM Driff 1.93xx Radio 1.00.25

We have tried other Dual yes but did not work.:mad:


I bought it and did not work 3G data :mad:
