I have a Sprint TP2 and a Gobi Wireless 2000 card in my ThinkPad x201 Tablet. Is it possible to program the card with the same info as my phone so that I can use the card rather than tethering to the phone for data, and avoid activating another line of service for the card? I know that it is pretty easy to have two phones share one number, just wondering if the same is possible with respect to the data card.
Thank you.

i have a tmobile pocket pc phone edition
and i have a motorola phone
but just 1 sim card. i can get another sim card for free (friend of mine works for tmobile). im wondering if there is a way to copy my sim card in my pocket pc and write it to a new card
my goal is, if i go out to dinner, to a club / bar, etc... i dont wanna carry the pda with me. yes i can just swap the card, but id rather each phone have thier own
is there a program for the pocket pc phone to copy the sim card and write a new one or some kind of device to do this ?
i know direct tv uses a smart card, which technically is what the sim card is. i was thinking maybe i can use a card programmer for direct tv, copy my good sim card and write it back to the new one.
any ideas ?

I understand it is possible to do this, however I bought the hardware and software to do so and have destroyed 2 sim cards so far and failed to copy any sim from UK service providers. This includes Orange, T- Mobile, Virgin, Vodafone and O2. I got in touch with the makers and they tell me that all these providers use V2 type cards therefore wont copy. I cannot vouch for other parts of the world. If anybody in UK has succesfully cloned a sim other than from an old Orange sim (3 years old at least) then I would be happy to hear from them. The hardware I bought allows 16 sims on one supersim, including phone book, sms etc. The sims can be switched on via a menu on the phone without switching off or resetting the phone, it will be great when the software finally gets to the stage where it works on UK sims.
Clone sim card
Mr. cruisin-thru , can u tell us where did u but the clonned Equipment and how much it cost u. and if there different types which one u advice us to buy.
Wondering if anyone has seen this or knows if it exists
now adays, a apple ibook 12 inch is my primary laptop
and ofcourse, the xda 1 cannot connect to a laptop via blue tooth or wifi as a wireless modem
the ibook, lacks any PCMCIA slots for expansion cards, making a gsm pcmcia card out of the question for wireless access over t-mobile
anyone know if theres a gsm usb (or firewire for that matter) adapter that can accept a sim card and act as the usual pcmcia air cards ?
apples also lack serial, parrallel (more or less anything legacy they dont have), so those are out of the question also
its getting to the point where im paying $80 a month for cell phone service ($29.95 for 300 minutes, $20 for tmobile to tmobile , $20 for unlimited data access) , not including another $20 to tmobile for a hotspot account
if i can get a gsm usb adapter, id have my friend (works for tmobile) move my gsm account to a new card, and use that with the laptop, letting me absolve myself from a hotspot acct
any ideas ?

it all comes down to supply and demand
if the demand have been great enough to give market to a such device
somebody have payed the RD cost to develop such a device
i would google the hell out of logic search pattarns to see if it give a result
though i doubt that there is such a device myself
Has anyone considered using the camera designed WiFi + memory cards - there is a 4gb one available but I dont want to spend that sort of money to upgrade the phone if its not going to work with the StarTrk
If anyone has tried this could you let me know?
regards

Those cards won't let the phone connect to the internet; The cards connect to the network themselves for managing the photos they contain.
The device doesn't see a WiFi adapter, but rather a storage device.
man, you are not correct, you can buy a wifi MICRO SD CARD and put in the phone slot, so in theory you can conect to internet; previously you need to upgrade to WM 6.1 Pro...
WIFI MICRO SD Card is not one of these eyephoto crappola boxen.
The problem with most of the WIFI SD is that they dont have memory built in so far as I know and are longer than a standard card also, which will not fit in the Startrk
As an update to this - the OMAP850 chip has wireless capabilities built in - so whether it would possible to somehow get someone working on getting this connected to an arial and have it set up into a ROM?
It might even be possible to swap over the board for the VOX into the Startrk to provide this capability...

anyone? anyone?
So the 4G LTE phones from Verizon has a sim card in them. Is the account associated with that Sim card? Can I remove that card and swap with with a different Verizon phone and have it work?
Obviously the programs and data stored on the old phone aren't going to move, but will my phone service (including data service) move to the new phone properly?

Yes, I switch between several phones seamlessly by simply swapping the sim. Obviously the phones need to have clean ESN so keep that in mind if purchasing used.
Has anyone tried using a T-Mobile SIM in a smartphone as either a strictly data only device or in a device with two SIM trays for supplementary data? I am very interested in doing this with the 5x if it is possible. Thanks in advance.
There is a selection for which sim you want to use for Mobile Data in the SIM Management however since the device is a Dual Sim Passive device you will have to manually change to the Data only SIM once you run out of data on your primary phone SIM.

Perhaps I did not phrase my original question properly, I am wondering whether or not I can use the T-Mobile tablet specific sim in a phone. I know that I can use two sims and switch between them however, I do not know if T-Mobile will allow me to use a tablet sim in a phone.

Yes. I have done so.
Yes per T-Mobile support. I asked them directly when I tried to do this. And what crpalmer said.
I went ahead and got a tablet sim, 2gb for $20. I can confirm that it is working in the 5x. Thank you all for the help.
Difference between tablet and phone plan
What is the technical difference between the tablet and phone plans? I have a tablet Sim in my second slot and I am able to receive and send text messages. When I go on the website it lists my plan as having unlimited text and calls. Could I use this as my primary phone plan?
