Hi,
does anybody out there have knowledge about a Dual (or Multi) SIM solution for the TP2? I would prefer a special battery like it is available for other HTC phones.

do not put magicsim 23 a cut in HTC Touch Pro 2
it destroys your sim reader from the phone
Has anybody got a working dual sim card solution for this phone yet?
dual sim card
My dual sim card adapter with 2 cards worked on my UNIVERSAL but it doesn't work on TP2.
I managed to put the adapter in without damaging the contacts, but it then says "no sim".
Anybody found a working one ?
need one too!
I could really use a dual sim adaptor of some sort for my TP2, then I don't need to carry my personal handset around with my work one.
Has anyone managed to find one that doesn't screw the phone up?
At this point I would say the best solution is to get a google voice account and add that number to both phones. Have people from work call your google voice number.
Anybody ?
I couldnt find anything on Google
This one seems to be working (Though not cheap...)

Anyone have any update on a working dual sim adapter for Touch pro 2?
Guys, anyone bought this? Let's hear impressions of it
Anyone looked into this web site yet?
They have dual sims holders, dual sim cards and multi-sim cards etc....... I had one of the older version dual sim card holders that requires cutting of the sims on my older 2G GSM phones and it worked.

Got my TP2 yesterday after having used a Touch Pro (1) for over a year.
My 16th gen card that worked in my TP didn't work in my TP2.
I have a couple of different dual sim cards at home (cut and no cut versions) 23th gen slipped in and after 1 hour of testing the switching works perfectly.
Now I did a search and saw the that someone distroyed his TP2??

Has anyone got any further update on this from Simore.
I am trying to decide between this and the Hypercard 3g.
Thanks

Although it has - from a technical point of view - nothing to do with dual sim, http://tweedenummer.nl/ offers a service that does the same. And may be even more, with one (your current) sim. Two separate mobile numbers that can be reached and be called out via one sim. Your original mobile number next to the number that is created by this provider. It is amazing, it works and costs are acceptable. EUR 4.95 per month - if you subscribe for 2 years - isn't that costly, and for the first couple of months it is for free. And much to my surprise the initial subscription costs of EUR 10.00 were announced - after subscription - to be refunded (without this refund being announced in advance). Not sure whether it works with any GSM provider outside of the Netherlands. With KPN as (Dutch provider) it works flawlessly, within the minute after subscription.
Cheers, Dela

Except that makes it service-dependent. And most services don't WANT you to run dual-SIM, one device.
Also, we need confirmation on a BRAND (and a link to it) that actually works. So just telling us "16th gen" or "20th gen" doesn't help some of us who are unable to determine by those means.
A confirmed product and a link to a place to buy it -- that's what we need. Not failure stories, carrier options, or "not sure" posts.
No offense.
Confirmed: SIMORE platinum = OK
Since someone mentioned the MagicSim 32rd wrecked his phone I decided to venture down the safe route.
Very pricey solution but works without a problem.
The SIMORE platinum.
NOTE!! if you have already cut your simcard please be advised that the Simore expects the cut away corner on the other side of the sim
Just rotated my cards 180 degrees although cut the wrong way but this poses no problems.
Now I can leave my touch pro 1 at home!!!!!
Thanks for this report!
I think I´ll go for one also
How does this work?
If you have an incoming call it will only ring if that sim is currently active, right?
I travel over sea's and normally cary two phones. It would be great if I didn't have too, but switching sims back and forth sounds like a pain.

Greetings all,
I'm having the following issue with a Qtek 1020 I just purchased from Microdirect, sold as SIM unlocked. The phone just doesn't find the network when I turn it on with my Pay As You Go T-mobile SIM. No error message pops up, nothing asks me for an unlock code etc, I just get the message 'No Service' under Connectivity when I select the aerial icon at the top of the screen. When I go to Phone Settings I can see listed under 'other networks' O2 and Vodafone, but no T-mobile. I've tried changing GSM bands in the bootloader and listing networks but to no avail (I switched through 900, 1900 and 900/1800). I have also tried the unlocking tools around this site with no success. I know the SIM works as it asks for my PIN when I switch on and I can also browse through contacts stored on it. I'm wondering if anyone here has any ideas as I'm all out.
Information about my Qtek:
Qtek 1020
ROM version: 4.02.04 ENG
ROM date: 8/24/05
Radio version: A.33.02
Protocol version: 1.3.3
Model No: PW10B1
Please don't let me pull any more hair out :x
Thanks and warm regards,
Neil.
Same here
Hi,
Just wanted to let you know you're not alone! I too bought the 1020 from Microdirect and have the same problem. I've tried my t-mobile pay as you go SIM in an i-mate pda2k and it worked straight away. That made me think the 1020 was restricted to o2/vodafone. If its an unlocked PDA why do Microdirect say it won't work with Orange? Where I work we successfully unlocked an XDA and used an Orange SIM, but that was a couple of years ago.
I've e-mailed qtek but have had no response yet.
I've tried the xda developers ROM and while it is cool I still get the problem with the t-mobile SIM, although it says No Signal as opposed to No Service. I was going to try the GSM modes on the bootloader but notice you've tried that already so I won't bother.
If I get any further I'll post back asap.
Mark
Thanks for your reply Mark and now I can rest knowing I'm not the only one having trouble! I too tried the developer's ROM with no luck, although it was nice to play with the extra applications. Funny how Microdirect stated that it was compatable with T-Mobile, when it seems that it is not. I tried my sister's T-Mobile contract SIM and it doesn't work either, but my mum's Vodafone SIM works fine as well as my dad's Pay As You Go Vodafone SIM. It seems like this device is locked out of T-Mobile.
Regards,
Neil.
News from Microdirect
Microdirect have backtracked on the unlocked claim.
See link below for their comments.
http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.aspx?ProductID=11864&GroupID=1162
Oh well!
Yep I saw that. I decided to keep the PDA because it was such a good deal and I'm trying to go for a cheap contract with Vodafone. Check out http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/phonenetwork-84-1-Nokia_1100_on_Vodafone.html - £8 per month for the first 6 months then £16 afterwards. You get 1000 off-peak minutes per month to landlines and other Vodafone users as well as 250 TXTs plus £110 cash back after 6 months!! Sounds like a bargain to me, let's hope I pass the credit check!
Neil.
I was about to ask the very same question myself. I'm somewhat annoyed that Microdirect never even bothered to apologise or correct the mistake directly when I presented this problem to them last week - their response was to simply "return the item". For a Pocket PC PDA though, it's nice and cheap so like others, I'll keep mine and buy the cheapest possible Vodafone PAYG system that I can.
Well my Vodafone contract was approved and I immediately put the SIM into my Qtek 1020 whilst leaving the bundled Nokia phone unopened. All is well, I set up GPRS etc and my handy new PDA just got handier. Now I can sell this Nokia 1101 phone as it's SIM unlocked... might get 20 quid for it or something!
Regards,
Neil.
Okay well here's another damn issue with this thing... After a couple of weeks happy usage, the SD card slot decides to spit out anything I put into it - it just won't hold a card no matter what. I didn't force the mechanism at all or insert a card too forcefully - it just popped out one day and wouldn't go back in. I've written to Microdirect requesting an RMA, they replied thinking I was requesting an RMA for an SD card so I had to correct them and let them know it's actually the card slot in the 1020 that seems to have developed a fault of some kind. Just wondering if anyone else has ever had an issue with the card slot on their wallaby, so maybe we can say they are notoriously weak or something, or perhaps I was just unlucky.
Regards,
Neil.
Update: My replacement 1020 arrived today and all is well, well done to MicroDirect.
Rgds,
Neil.
I sound a bit like I work for Virgin (I don't honest).
but a:
1. DAB radio
2. Some TV stations (for 3 months on PAYG, but BBC1 will continue)
3. A WM5 smartphone (with bluetooth, EDGE and quad-band)
4. MP3 player
etc. for just over 100 quid. seems a nice toy to me!
If you go here
http://www.virginmobile.com/vm/lifestyleLanding.do
and make a note of the code, although its been 14000 every time Ive been there, you get 20% off!!
Plus if you go to the site through quidco you get 10% back as well!
I'm sorely tempted by this, despite the reviews, if only yuo could get it unlocked and still get the tv I'd buy it!
damn, bugger. You are right. Comes down to £90 inc. packing. Well I could send back and re-order. Or I may not bother ... too much hassle.
BBC1 is free continously. But I am looking at this as more of a WM5 smartphone to run games on and muck around with and as a pocket DAB player. It gets good reviews for the DAB radio, and good ones are around £99.
The main down side with this phone are:
1. Squijy keyboard
2. No wifi
Otherwise its got quite good reviews:
http://www.coolsmartphone.com/article696.html
I'm quite tempted by this phone myself, but could you answer a quick question for me, please?
Once the phone is unlocked (as your other post) and another sim is inserted, would I still be able to receive the TV? I've read elsewhere that Virgin charge a fiver a month for the TV, which implies to me that it will only work with a Virgin sim in the phone
I've got 6 months of a tmobile deal to go, after which I am looking to get one of the ntl/Virgin sims with 300mins + 300 texts for a tenner a month.

1. I have succeeded in app. unlocking, but not sim unlocking. So still to come.
2. You can sim unlock from a commercial service. Do a google.
3. If it is sim unlocked, you can insert a sim from another provider and use the phone fine. The TV will also work. However at least every month, virgin change the crypt key on the TV channels. So from time to time your TV will go off and you will need to reinsert the Virgin SIM to get the new crypt key.
4. The DAB will work regardless
rgds
Thanks for the info, Colonel!
I've just posted on another forum to find out if the ntl offer will class as a monthly contract to get the tv for free. I'll post back when I get an answer
this phone can be unlocked either for free from virgin by ordering the code( you must have used at least 30 quid since you have had your phone tho) or you can get it unlocked instantly from imei-check but they take payment thru paypal,and as most of us know paypal are as reliable as an english cricket team in australia so i stay welll clear
but the virgin option is pretty cool,although wouldnt know wat to do with the 30 quid once topped up as virgin services are pretty useless
Lobster price

Lobster 700TV (HTC monet)
I've got one. I bought it for the DAB radio which is excellent.
The main draw back I've got is the Bluetooth A2DP issue. It don't work from the box, although the manual says it does! I've got back to Virgin who are presently investigating (first response was "it don't do A2DP" but they had to rethink coz it's in the manual).
I'm looking at the Tornado A2DP hack. Tried it without 'apps unlock' and got insufficent permissions.
So next step is to unloack and try again......but will wait until virgin get back to me.
Happy with the rest of the features. But I'm not a heavy phone user. The other niggle I could mention is the keypad ...... keys a bit small and have to take care. But it is usable just. I'm not abig texter and could imagine that texting could be a pain.
If I'm sending messages I use my PDA with the Lobster as a bluetooth modem. This works well.
Overall very satisfied. But got to sort the A2DP issue.
Lobster now FREE with 12 months FREE Tariff
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just seen that the Lobster tv phone is now appearing FREE with 12 months free tariff on virgin.

For anyone who's interested in making the SIM on their x7500 hot-swappable - like the Kaiser -and perhaps hasn't been sure whether to try it or not, the fiddly little clip that goes over the SIM card and which cannot be opened without removing the battery CAN be taken off with a little careful persuation and agitation.
It has no effect on the sim (which is held in place perfectly well by friction) and makes me wonder why HTC put it there in the first place.
I have been using my handset with this mod for about a month now, swapping sims between my normal handset and the Ameo with no problems whatsoever. The clip can easily by reattached in the event of a sale or warranty repair.
Upon hot swapping you have to deactivate and reactivate the via the Comms manager et voila!
Pictures attached.

yep i been using it like this for about 3 months now as well
it works really well...
although the sim for me was a bit hard to get out each time so i took a knife and cut a little groove in the sim card so i could get my nail into it
thanks for your point!! good idea!

Why not simply get an extra sim card though? In my case that costs 18 euro.

define what u mean by an 'extra sim card'. I have a specific number with an attached data tarif which I want to use with my n95 and also my ameo (when im not out and about) are you talking about a pay as you go sim card, a new tarif or some kind of 'spare' sim as I was not aware that I could get a clone sim card.

I think the marketing term is "Duo SIM". It's a clone of the original SIM. Some companies give one for free (IIRC Vodafone).
You can use only one at a time though (you have to switch the phone you don't use off).
i'm on t-mobile uk and they certainly don't offer this service. I'd be interested to know how i could clone my sim though, since my reasons are entirely legitimate. Does anyone know if this can be done or if it's allowed?!
there's a reason you can't just pull the simcard out; and it's because the radio *really* doesn't appreciate it and generally speaking, it shouldn't be done.
that said, there's all likelihood that it won't matter anyway.
do you feel lucky, punk?

I would also be very interested in this in the UK, but I've never come across it.
If anyone knows any better, please let us know.
Alternatively, is it possible to 'clone' my sim? Or maybe ask for a replacement sim for my 'faulty' one, and then use both... not at the same time, obviously.

T-Mobile UK used to offer this service, back when it was One2One, but to Business Users only. The benefits were that people could have a SIM in their mobile and one in their car phone, however for two reasons it was stopped. Firstly the car handsets never really took off, and secondly and probably more obviously security reasons.
As far as I'm aware, the other UK networks are of the same standing.
--
Also, if you clone your card and the network detects two users, it will disable one of the sim cards. (In theory anyway - I don't know if people have created a "workaround")

Indeed, T-Mobile says you need to switch one phone off. Otherwise the first phone logged on will stay logged on. Which is unfortunate. You'd wish the phone you have with you to get the connection even if you forgot to switch the other one off.
I still have to go pick mine up, so I don't know exactly how it works. They did tell me that I will get 2 new SIMs. Not sure why, but that might be an indication that you cannot simply clone any SIM.
Duo SIM
Enquired with T-Mobile in the UK... They don't do the Duo SIM. Very annoying. I remeber that back in Holland every provider (used to) do them; car phone & mobile. My dad had one (eh... two?). Does anybody know if it's possible to clone a USIM?
I have an Ameo (Athena), an M3100 and a laptop with a UMTS card built in, so I could do with not having to swap SIMs every time... SIM is getting a bit worn...
Hi Guys,
Has anyone got a Dual Sim adapter working for their Samsung Galaxy-S?
I'm interested in getting one but i don't want to spend a fortune and i need it to still let me use all the functions of the phone like 3G etc.
Thanks in advance!

Simore Sucks
<RANT><VENT>
Bought the Platinum Plus. Had to look online to see how to cut the SIM cards properly. That is the most unnerving step. Checked to make sure both cuts SIMs worked by themselves by placing them in the included plastic jigs and they DID work. Then placed them on the INCREDIBLY FRAGILE dual SIM holder, installed it in the phone and it NEVER worked properly. Supposedly some software (SIM Toolkit) becomes active - didn't for like 4 days. THEN, out of the blue, I see T-Mobile SIM-1 in the Notification area. So now it's working? Able to launch SIM Toolkit and select to change to SIM#2 but phone never resets or reboots or whatever it supposed to do. Just sits there. If I manually reboot THEN SIM#2 shows up and works. Then, again - out of the blue, I start getting popup messages that "You've removed the SIM" or something like that. Attempt to contact Simore for tech support and they suck. You have to create an account on their website, find their support form, fill out the fields and submit. Then wait. Then you get back an automated eMail from an address that they do not monitor, telling you to log back into your account and find their answer, which is not easy to do.
"[email protected]
You have received an answer from Simore.
Connect to your account to read it.
Support Simore"
When you do, they simply go through all the standard fixes: reset SIM, restart phone blah blah. I am sure that they being Swiss and me being not Swiss that there is a language barrier but the fact that they make you jump through hoops and essentially ignore your messages and only send out cut-and-paste responses through their POS website makes they too hard to deal with for me.
Nice idea. Poor execution. EXTREMELY FRAGILE Piece of hardware. Crap customer service.
I've had more expensive lessons than that but if you want to take a $80 chance be my guest.
</VENT></RANT?
Thanks for that info, yea I've read loads of bad things about simore! Plus they're so expensive!
After doing a bit of research I've ordered a 26th gen magicsim cutting for just £14.99 off a guy on ebay. He seemed super helpful and answered questions like lightning (and also sent me some great instructions showing how to cut my sim) so fingers crossed!!
I'll post my results on here!
Wish me luck!
Sx
What is the advantage of this?
If you carry around 2 phones (like me) of have 2 sims (if you travel a lot or have a work sim in the daytime) then you can have both in your phone and switch between them without having to turn off your mobile.

I've had it running smoothly in my Samsung Galaxy-S for several days now!
Really, really pleased.
If anyone wants details on where i got it from just PM me. I did a fair bit of research to find the cheapest place!

How does a dual sim work ?
I bought a Magic SIM 3G 26th generation. I haven't been able to make it work in my SGS.
When I try to call I get a "Data network not available" message. I have tried to deactivate 3g connection but calls doesn't work. The mobile is not receiving calls either. However, the SIM Toolkit program is in the SGS menu.
The dual sim is perfectly working in a Nokia 3220 classic. I read this dual sim adapter is compatible with SGS but it seems to me that I'm having a compatibility problem.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Got the magicsim 28th gen PLUS off the official magicsim seller on ebay and it's running like a dream. No problems at all and i didn't need to cut my sims down.
result!
Has anyone had any experience of the MAGICSIM ELITE - GALAXY S3 DUAL SIM ADAPTER? I have tried it in my SGS3 and a) it's incredibly tight and b) it reports "no SIM".
It may be that I am being paranoid but I really don't want to force the micro-SIM and the adapter in too hard. Even when I think I have it in OK, it doesn't see the SIM cards.
Teach me....
Yep I've got one, works fine. Just pushed it in with my finger nail until the spring load clicked in place. If in doubt maybe just email Magic-sim?
I got mine a few days ago and the STK menu does not work. I am unable to switch between SIMs.
I have contacted Magic-SIM and am awaiting a solution.
it seems Magicsim ELITE doesn't exist ... check on magicsim.com there is no ELITE product ... I've ask them and they are not aware about "ELITE" ... so it's smell fake product their are more expensive and have the same software/hard as magicsim 28th PLUS as you can find on www.magicsim.com/site
It looks more like it was developed especially by them as I have both the older 28th version and the new elite one and they are definately different.

Nerdic421 all of your posts are advertising a company called eurodualsim which seem to sell fake Magicsim products..... Looks like youve been BUSTED! Lol
Nice try.
OK, I finally got it installed and fired up with the help of Danny at www.magic-sim.co.uk.
Pity that it really doesn't work at all well. The Dual Sim application is visible and flips between SIMs. However, it's REALLY REALLY slow to register the SIM at boot time and then at switchover time. It is also very unstable and will drop both SIMs out of service at times, which kinda makes the phone useless.
All in all £35 wasted, but "Caveat Emptor" I guess. I have given up with this.

I had a similar responsiveness issue with a dual sim adapter I got for my old S2 but it was because I was using a sim card that was about 3 years old and that was causing the issue. Once I replaced that it was fine, maybe this is the issue you're having. This ones working really well in my S3, takes about 20 seconds to switch sims and has been extremely stable so far.
The primary SIM is a micro SIM and is about 4 weeks old direct from T-Mobiles local store. The other one is an elderly FIDO SIM but that's not even getting looked at during the boot process.

I'd bet you my right arm that your outdated sim is what's causing you mischief. These things rely on the full circuit so even when you're just using the first sim the signal is running through the second sim. My issue was also because of an old sim in the sim 2 slot.
Change that sim and I bet it works as it should!
Just installed this myself and so far all is perfect. No problems switching :good:
Has anyone tried the Gmate+ btw?

Brillo! Moved overto the S3 a week ago and my Magicsim ELITE is working nicely. I've got experience with these but I found installation easy.
There's like 3 magicsim websites out there. Which one is the legit one or the best one for us UK ppls?
Also, have any of you had a problem with the fit under the cover? seems to me like there might be a bit of a bulge. Any issue with cases?

I've had a few from www.magic-sim.com and always experienced a great service and product. They're also based in the UK so I've always had the item the next day. No bulge at all btw.
can someone confirm me, the magicsim is ok to buy or not. and is it effecting NFC usage?

Yep I've had a few items from them over the years
The ones for which the adapter is working, can you tell me what kind of subscriptions you have (3G, LTE)?
My issue is that I can go up to HPSA+ on my SIM 1 (the one fitting the original S3 SIM slot) while on the second SIM, I'm blocked at EDGE. I tested the second SIM on another phone and there it goes up to HSPA+.
Also, to get it to EDGE, I have, after switching to the SIM 2, activate GSM only networks on the settings so that it register itself to the network first and then activate data services. A complete mess...
Could it be that SIM 2 is too old for dual sim adapters? How can one tell this?
Thanks in advance
