Hi,
has anyone successfully used a dual sim adapter with the LG E900 Optimus 7 ?
I am looking to buy this phone but need the dual sim.
thanks for your help and replies.
Yea i've used one of these before with a MagicSim 28th gen cut.

I'm very interested on the matter, could you please let me know how you can switch from one sim to the other with the LG Optimus 7.
Do you have a dedicated WP7 application to install or the phone automatically detects the dual sim adapter?
Please let me know.
Thanks.
hjkl;' why no delete?
Send me a PM and i'll point you to where i get mine from.
Having a lot of private messages asking where i get it from so i'll put it here.
"directdevices" on ebay. The cutting version isn't listed but if you message them they have them in stock
Hope this helps everyone!
Can you tell me please, how you switch between the sim cards. Because I have the Magicsim 28th but I can't switch between the SIM cards.
Thank you
Have you found the stk (sim tool kit) menu?
No i didn't find the STK menu.
I thought Windows Phone 7 don't has a STK ?
What's the deal with this? Looking for a dual sim adapter for my girlfriend who has this phone.
Did it work out ok?
I can confirm that the Magicsim 28th gen PLUS works on this phone for anyone thats interested.
Got it from www.magic-sim.com
I've had 2 off them now for a couple of different phones and i'm dead pleased.

Yes there is an stk menu.
Thank you very much Daniel
Hi I got the Adapter for my HD7 Pro and i cant find the stk menu.
Can anybody tell me where it is, or tell me how to change the sim.
I requestet support from the vendor but they say if i cant find the stk, i should have to change to android ?! wtf
Please help
They may be right....what firmware you running?
I run the firmwareversion: 2250.21.30201.207
an mango: 7.10.7720.68
Yea I'd guess they're probably right. From my understanding some newer windows versions have stopped supporting stk.
Your best bet is getting over to android as it works real well on my setup. I'm on 2.3.5 if that helps?
Good luck.
OK, i think i try another Adapter, this time a analog one, maybe this works
Thank you for your fast support
No probs... Although I'd be aware that no dual sim adapter will work without an stk menu. So your only real option is to change firmware if you want dual sim capabilities.

We do not normally advertise our products on this forum but get many many requests for compatability.
We have managed to succesfully test a budget dual sim that works with the Hesmes (Orange M3100) as well as o2 Exec Vario 2 (HTC 3300) Spv m700 (HTC 3600) mobiles.
We have used a 3g sim and High Speed Data.
We did need to use a sim card cutter to get a clean cut but it worked a treat.
The trick is to ensure that you use the white padding inside the dual sim to apply presure down on the dual sims.
The dual sim displays a program dual sim card which allows you to switch sims.
The solution to unlock this mobile is available on this forum.

can you go into more detail here, basically from a noob's point of view, how does one go about using 2 sims in the hermes? I'm very interested.
This should be moved to the Hermes Accessories forum but I do have a question.
On your site which adapter will fit a Cingular 8525, and will it ever be possible to have a no cut solution for at least one of the SIM's wince one of the SIMs is my company and I would be killed if I cut the company SIM card. I have no problem with cutting my own SIM. Also I see you do not have any dual SIM for 3G SIMs that have the menu select, you only offer the power off/on for 3G, this is a big pain especially on a PDA using WM5 or WM6 it take forever to reboot.
Advanced MENU Twin SIM (V9.6) with SPV M700
Hi, I have just installed the dual SIM adapter to my orange contract SPV M700 and can’t get the menu to display. I have tried the dual SIM in my older SPV and all seems fine
Does the phone need to be SIM/CID unlocked?
Can you help?
Thanks
How's the battery impact of this dual sim?

Too early to say - I'm hoping Freeyourmobile can advise how he got it working!
The fitting is good, little tight but ok - as soons as I get it working I'll update the post!.
I bet the battery life blows!!
I used the latest dual sim, I think it was version 10 or 11, and my battery was murdered compared to without. I read in another post that this is due to the auto switching function, and that the only dual sim you could use without the battery drain that Pof refers to is a plain, turn it off and reset manually - Dual sim holder.
Which, given a flat battery, is just fine by me...

Finally got it working after changing the bios and am sorry to say the poor battery performance is only surpassed by the impact on the phone’s performance.
Looks like I need to find an alternate solution?

Use a simple power on-off dual sim holder and the program posted here. For me it works perfectly:
. no battery problem
. current sim always known
. easy switch

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.
http://www.simore.ch/en/mobile_phone_accessory/HTC/Touch-cruise.html
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?)
Would this Dual-SIM Card work in SGS2?
And how to get this work on SGS2?
I leave in Norway, and work in UK, then it would be nice to have this opportunity.

Enyone?
Or will it work in other android mobiles?
To keep reliability and official support, keep your SIM as is originally.
Do you think it would be a better idea to set up call-forwarding from one SIM (in another mobile) to the new SGS2 one?

Before my SGS2 I had an HTC HD2 with a MagicSIM CUT 26th generation. All working great, but while getting the dual sim adapter out of my HD2 I broke it
So yesterday I ordered a MagicSIM 28th CUT adapter and today I installed it into my SGS2. Working like a charm!

Nice! So does this allow you to have two cards online at a time and default one of them for i.e. data connection.
When I am traveling I would like one card for data connection (sip) and the standard card for receiving sms which cannot be forwarded to sip CID.

No, you can only use one and switch between them when you need in a menu.
Hey guys
Before hitting buy on one of these, can someone please explain to me how dual sim works? Preferably with some screenshots. This is going to be my first dual-sim phone
I understand dual sim dual standby, in that both sims can use 3G/4G but only one at a time. Do you decide which SIM is the main active one for data in software?
Thanks
Ive got the prime
I can choose Internet from sim 1 and call from sim 2

Hello does anybody know of a double nano simtray for this device ? Asking because I have two Sims each with 3 GB and don't wanna have to fiddle with the adapter in the middle of the month ?
Wouldn't you just need nano-micro adaptor for the 1 sim? Then have both sims in all the time.
Sent from my KIW-L24 using Tapatalk
Yes I have the adapter or the sims I have are multi but afaik the 5x only has 2g in sim slot 2 ... Or am I wrong I've looked with my Google Fü but no luck I just remember a Utube vid where they said that...
Just read on a DLand site I can switch which card uses the Lte hope that true than I´ll be ok ...

LTE/4G/3G works on either sim slot, however only one sim at a time can be LTE/4G/3G and the other sim will only be 2G, but you can change which slot is which in settings.
Got it love it and the 4g switch works .... Delete post or mark as solved..
Just asking....

Do you mean 3 g?
If so, only 1 simcard at a time supports 3g
you can buy a cheap adapter on internet.
Hope i helped you
1nano,1micro+1sdcard
I wished they used two micro slots.
pretty sure you can switch the data use over the two sims without removing them
Future phones will have two micro slots.
