Default Multiple SIMs

Goodevening

Is it possible to use the iMate with two SIM cards from different service providers simultaneously. Would like to avaoid having to change the SIMs everytime you want to use the one or the other. At the same can the ringtone be set to differntiate between the two different service providers and can you pick which line you want to phone out on?

Thanks

It is possible to have 2 sims in the phone but only 1 can be active, usually you would turn the phone off then on again to switch between the 2. Twin sim adaptors are widely available on ebay and phone outlets online.
Thank god I am an atheist.

Default Cheaper

You can put two SIMs in a Dual SIM adapter.
One SIM is active at a time
You can switch between SIMs by going into and out-of flight mode.
Works very good.
You have to get a dual sim adapter that fits in the little room there is between battery and cover.

I use a King of Doublecard, type MAI-E bought on eBay from saintjoy0_3.
The model he advertised was "6220/6310i/7250/8310/T230/T68i DUAL SIM CARD"
(note: looks VERY similar to the one on pdamods!)

Bought it for £6.55 (incl 2.50 shipping)
(note: MUCH cheaper than pdamods)

Good luck

Default Killed my XDA I with dual sim ghost card

Can anyone give me a hint on how to assemble a XDA I with a dual sim card? I succeeded in prying open the XDA I (start at the antenna etc) and squeezing in the dual sim card, but now the XDA I wont come to life again, with or without the dual sim card or any other card. I noticed a rotating little thing inside the back cover (more or less next to the sim holder) with a small red dot on it. Does this have to be set in a specific angle? Are there switches that need to be switched before or during reassembly? HELP?
