Hi all
I been reading several old threads regarding dual SIM, but none with actual information about it.
Can anyone please recommend a place in USA to buy a working dual sim adapter please?
It´s for Raphael (AT&T Fuze) device.
Thanks in advance,

Hey Orb,
I didnt think HTC phones supported dual sim, ive heard of people trying with limited success.

I have read several threads regarding some dual sims working but very old ones, so I´m wondering if anything new has benn launched and how is working?

I had a ghost dual-sim for my Universal and Polaris.
It required cutting the chip from each of my SIMs to fit the adapter.
To switch from SIM to SIM, you either powered the phone off and on, or engaged flight mode for 10 seconds.
The biggest problem was that it wasn't 3G/HSDPA compatible. If you tried to catch a H signal, it lost the signal and restarted from G. In the end I had to disable advanced networks in Connections.
Now if a dual-sim that works with HSDPA has come out in recent months, I'm very interested.

Orb,
I have such a dual SIM adapter in use since one year now, and it works fine. See thread here:

When I bought it, I had WM5 on my device. Upgrading the ROM made it even better:
On my Wizard with WM 6.1, the OS detects the phone card in use after booting and makes the right settings after asking if this should be done. :)
On my Himalaya with WM 6.5 it works, too, but does not make the settings automatically. Most likely this feature is not implemented in the ROM I use (or in WM 6.5). :rolleyes:
No idea where to get one in the States, but it obviously has to be the "Switch on/off" type to work with WM devices. The cheap ones you get on *bay will not do the job.
