I'm looking for a dual sim adapter suitable for my touch cruise.
Any ideas?.
I saw this on the net, but it looks very expensive.

Simore seems the only one working, my old adapater good for qtek 9090 worked only the first day, after it stop working (I try also a hard reset but no luck). I can switch only after a soft reset. But Simore seems to drain a bit the battery (watch here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364884). Ciao.

kutonglupa, the initial site? The link is only to buy, more information? Thanks in advance.
yes i am looking for recommended dual sim adapters for the touch cruise too
Oh this would be good as I am in the US every week switching sims. I don't suppose it would let me access DATA off one sim and Phone services off the other eh?

Yeah! You nail it, but, something does'nt feel right on this site or am getting paranoid?
like i asked before, will any of the sim adapters, actually keep both sims active at all times or this isnt possible ?
If not, which one of that m99 site will work for polaris?
This isn't possible. Only dual-sim phones can do that because they have two receivers integrated.
I don't know which one will work. I can only say that if you want to use UMTS you have to buy an analogue adapter. Afaik digital adapters can work with an UMTS-Sim but they can't use the UMTS features like HSDPA. So you can use the UMTS-Sim in GSM-Mode only.
Hello,
I have a Black 1 SIMORE v6.0 on my HTC cruise. It's works perfectly in edge and 3G mode.
With Radio ROM original, i have problem with 3G network, the network disconnect after 5 seconds, but after upgrade to the last ROM radio, it's OK.
There is an automatic permute function, like 10 minutes on my edge network, and 5 minutes on 3G network. Work good, it take less than 15 seconds to change , but if you are on call , it's disconnect you and change the network if the 10 or 5 minutes expires.....
But It's OK for me , i swap only to check my voicemail or sms and permute directly to my principal network.
I don't know about battery life but i have only one phone in my pocket and it's the only one solution i found for that
To Greg_o: can you please confirm if you can use HSDPA with the simore adapter? I am thinking to get one as well. Thanks.
HSDPA is activate in my options... I can tell you more in 4 days, my new 3G options ( TV ,visio , internet etc..) will be activate ... but, how i can see that HSDPA is working ? i already have the 3G on the bar level reception.
The easiest way would be to do a speedtest. I would suggest to use the test used in this topic so we can easily compare.
If your speed is high enough -> it could be only HSDPA.
my results without SIMORE :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2082686&postcount=67
I cut my SIM this week and post my result with SIMORE after
I now use a Datopal 6th Generation Dualsim Cut Adapter. It's an analogue one. Things seem to work fine so far. Tried with T-Mobile and HSDPA works (speed was only 440kbit/s, but that's what I got before I used Dualsim also). To be sure I only activated the UMTS frequencies in the settings, so it should really work.
There are only some problems when it comes to show the right distributor of my simcard. I don't have problems, when I use different networks. Only when I use the same network (one sim is directly from the network distributor and one is from a reseller who uses the same network) the display didn't change the provider name. So without a third party tool I'm unable to say which card is active. I used SimDisplay to get rid of this problem, but I'm sure that there are enough alternatives.
Main positive aspect of the dual sim is the low cost of 6$ per unit (including shipping). The card was directly imported from Hongkong, so delivery time was about a week (I paid with credit card).
It really depends on the network and SIM card type.
Here (france) I have an Orange and one SFR USIM cards, I can't do any 3G on it.
In fact, I can log on to the 3G network but when I try to make a call, network is downgraded to GSM.
Video-call don't work (that's the real test for 3G connectivity, calling your video answering machine).
I'm now thinking into buying an analogue dual sim adapter, to prevent any more meddling than a mere switch between the SIM card and the phone.
Anyone know of any dual sim card adapter that works in UK - 3 network?

well i ordered those dual sim adapters there - and guess what - i got the wrong ones. so its not the best idea to get those things there.
i tried to call them but the number is not working ...
Anyone tried this one? Selles says it will work for cruise: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=160263857295
Same guy is selling another version, with a picture of a diamond using this dual sim adapter. (photoshop or real? don't know yet)
I've ordered one, will post my result when I recieve it. May take a week or so.
I have tried this one, which is for "all phones": http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=250267107670
didn't work good. The STK menu came up, but the phone freezes everytime I try to change number. It ask for pin, then hangs. (and my dads sony ericsson slows down when this is inserted.. is this normal?)
I am tired of having two mobile phones in my pocket: my brand new TD2 (private use) and my Nokia 6020 (business use).
So I would like to use my TD2 for private and work.
Does anybody know if there is a working Dual Sim Adapter for the TD2?
I tried one (no clue which brand or version, its marked with YANG - 16 - A) but it doesn't work:
First of all it does not realy fit under the back cover, it's a non-cut version.
It adds a STK menu to the TD2 but I have no clue how to use it.
The first sim works fine, but the second sim is not recognized, and does not work.
A little bump up
Maybe this one fits... I don't know (I need to wait a few more days before I get the diamond ).

I guess that this one will fit:

Link please???
Sorry, was in the process of writing is I posted here - took me a while to finish, and you beat me to the punch - anyhow link above
something new in dualsim theme?
Kick - Anyone?
Still no suitable solution found.
I tried a non-cut dual sim version, but it did not fit and it did not function and in the end, i accidentally tore it apart....
So, anybody experience with a cut version?
Especially whit being online with both numbers at the same time
Your "2 cents" please!
I am after the same, but the only one clearly advertised as tested and working with TD2 is Simore Platinum.
not allowed to provide link to simore.eu
At 70 euros it's far too expensive to justify at the moment, especially as we still only have their word for it.
Apparently as phones only have one transmitter/receiver it is not possible to receive calls from 2x active Sims. Their workaround is to have an automatic setting where the SIMS auto-switch, so you can get notified of any missed calls, or SMSes. In reality the workaround for dual lines is to auto-divert the calls for the unused sim to the active one, leaving the auto-switch to pick up SMS from the other SIM to a schedule.
OK, I thought I'd give some cheaper versions a go from freeyourmobile.biz
Magicsim Ghost Dual SIM Card (Non-Cut)
Magicsim DIGITAL Dual SIM (Cut)
I've only tried the Ghost and it works fine on O2 Sims, but with some caveats:-
1. The Sim holder folds around the battery, and I can just about get the case to clip on with a bit of a band/gap on one side/edge. For me this is OK because the TD2 slides into my Proporta Aluminium flip-case, so you don't notice.
2. It doesn't seem to support 3G/HSPDA data, I can only get Edge, but this isn't too much of a problem for me, as I only use data to periodically check email.
3. Everytime you switch SIMS it takes around 30 seconds to re-register, and this includes a pop-up that asks me to select a Network Carrier, and wait for a configuration process to complete. This happens every time you switch SIMS, no matter how many times.
4. No instructions for auto-switching, but a google should sort that.
As I'm happy for now, and don't want to start cutting up SIM-cards, I haven't tested the DIGITAL, but I suspect it wil be the same as it's the same manufacturer.
UPDATE 1: I had a replacement/spare battery from ebay, which was slightly thicker, the original HTC stock battery allows the case to clip on with only a very slight gap
UPDATE 2: Definitely works fine 'with' 3G Sims, but no support for 3G/HSPDA Data transfer. As I said, not a big deal for me personally.
UPDATE 3: There is a setting in Connections Setup to disable Auto-Configuration, which removes this annoyance as both my SIMS are O2. Not sure if you'd get away with this from 2x SIMS from different networks
UPDATE 4: Auto-Switching is only 0-9 minutes global switch. The info on the web suggests there is supposed to be an advanced mode that allows more functionality, but might be issue with this phone or OS, as to why this isn't available. STK mode only appears in menu. Still, what I've done is associate this STK program with holding down the 'call' button, so easy to switch SIMS quickly and easily now.

IMHO -
1. Only cut version adaptor will work, as thr s no space fr 2 non cut SIMS
2. No one can gaurantee 100% working adaptor, as it is dependent on how well SIMS r cut n thn avoiding loose connections
3. Circuit of SIMS - Different operators (countries) use diff config fr SIMS n hence difficult to say which SIMS will work n whthr 3g/HSDPA will work fr every SIM
4. Both SIMS numbers cannot be online together, since Radio s designed to receive only signal thru 1 SIM - workarnd can be frwrdng calls frm SIM 2 to SIM 1, while SIM 1 s online and vice versa
5. Concept is 100% workable - i m using Dual SIM Adaptor (costing arnd $3) fr last 1 month n its works like a charm with GPRS, Edge, 3G as well as HSDPA connections

I have seen a few dual sim card adaptors that sellers are claiming work with the Mini Pro. Has anybody tried them or have any thoughts/advice regarding them?
I don't expect they will be dual standby (both working simultaneously) but I am still interested to do this rather than carrying 2 phones around.

If it worked it would be great. Does anyone know if it works? Maybe booth could work together with some app... I don't know, when it comes to Cellphones I'm a total Noob..
Waiting answers..
I have a double sim (one sim with 2 number) from vodafone, wich is basicaly the same as a dual sim adapter.
It works as it should.. the only bugger is that every time you change the active sim, it forces you to re.login to your google account.

How do you change between the two numbers? Did it cost you extra to get this from Vodafone?
The double sim is a product from vodafone.. About 15euro once for it. You give them your numbers and in 1- 2 days you get the new card.
To change betwen numbers you have several options. Either the sim menu and select the numer you want.. Boot the phone and and use he pin you want.(each number has a pin) or dial 0 or 00 to reboot the sim. The phone asks for the pin

Anyone using these adaptors? I need to order one for my phone.
I have a Vodafone and an O2 sim using an Xperia Mini Pro and want to have both in it at the same time.
Just want to know if it will work on an Xperia Mini Pro which might not be the same as the X10 Mini Pro for compatibility or whatever. Never done this before.
Check out www.magic-sim.com I got one for my Samsung galaxy s2 from them and it's a great little device. There's a compatibility checking function on the website so you could check the mini pro there.
I used it, 3 years ago... You only require a phone with a "sim menu", (the one with your carrier options... And a case big enough to be able to close it with this sim that is a little bit thicker.
The one I tested made disappear your carrier "sim menu", and replaced it with a custom menu that allowed to change the sim... Even allowed to schedule the changes...
The bad thing is the time it takes to obtain signal after making the change ( the same time it takes when you turn on the phone), and that you have to cut your SIMs to be able to insert them...
Now I sow one that did'n require to cut the Sim, but I think that's too big for lots of phones.
The one I have from magic-sim fits really well. Sim switching takes about 4 seconds. It sounds like the technology has improved a lot since you used it.
how it connects, in layers?
so, this adaptor don't make the phone work with the two sim at the same time?

I've seen 3 presentations...
One next to the other, In layers, And in standard sim size, (croping your two sim cards and inserting them inside the other)...
Depending on your device It can or not fit the phone case.

No. For that purchase a chinese or a black berry with 2 3 or 4 sims.
Is there any android with such a feature? It would make grate "spy phones"
What's up everyone.
Quick question to see if anyone has tried.... If I put a T-Mobile SIM in the OPX and a Verizon SIM as a secondary, I'm wondering what will happen?
I have a work phone and a personal and am tired of carrying both. I need the Verizon SIM to get ONLY phone calls and text messages. I don't care about data. That's what the T-Mobile SIM is for. Also, how would the OPX handle phone calls? Will is ask me each time I make a call which phone number to use?
Will this work? Anyhone tried it? I've got a OPX on order via eBay and should be here next week. If no one knows, I'll have to post back.

I dont think the OPX supports CDMA networks... Only GSM and even that is not fully supported.
Well, I received the One plus X on Monday and have had a few days to play around. I am truly impressed. The build quality is fantastic and it the PERFECT size for me. Slightly larger than the iPhone 6 but a 5" screen. With respect to signal and T-Mobile Bands.... I haven't run into any problems here in Southern California. LTE everywhere.
Unfortunately, my simple experiment of getting verizon voice and text setup as a second SIM did not work. It does detect the phone number but no service. Oh well.
I've got a XQ-CT54, I guess i was wondering whether if you put two sims in (lets say one esim and one physical), would the phone switch to the other sim if it lost singal on one?
This sony help guide page; https://helpguide.sony.net/mobile/xperia-1m4/v1/en/contents/TP1000669479.html
Suggests the phone can only have one 5G sim set for data traffic, but doesnt say what happens if theres only 4G available or no signal available for that carrier/network. Would it automatically switch to the other sim, or would you have to go in to the settings and switch it over each time?
Guess i was sort of hoping/thinking how good it would be to have a main sim on one network, and then another sim on another network and it would auto switch between the two if say 5G or signal was lost on one, but im guessing it wont work like that?
Thanks!
Awesome question!
PS: Would't even mind to switch manually but the stupid icons on the top screen don't really show useful information (just those crappy 4 bars loosely related to RSSI).
i guess it should work if you disable national roaming but I have never used 2 SIMs in one phone so.....
Where I live, if you have signal than it is usually present for all 3 carriers and during field work I needed multiple devices anyway so 2 SIMs would not help at all.
