Good morning,
I have rencently bought a MAGICSIM (version 23-a). I don't know why, the switch is working perfectly when I'm at home or around, but as soon as I change of place (moving 2 or 3 blocks), the phone stops recognizing the SIM.
I'm looking forward your Ideas/Advices.
Kind regards
Christophe
Nota : My phone is still SIMLOCKED and Orange branded.
So nobody has an idea?

Hi All,
Bought a SPV M3100 over a week ago (15th Aug) and got it unlocked using http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ straight away
Installed my O2 work sim in and had no problems recieving and making calls for over a week. However today I noticed the phone was just searching for an operator. Can not make or receive calls.
The original Orange sim works fine in the M3100 and so does my other O2 pay as you go sim. My work sim works fine in my other 2 nokia phones!
I have reset the phone both soft and hard
What is going on? Anyone have any ideas as i am very puzzled!
Thanks
BK
Just tried my work colleagues O2 sim which is just one number different to my phone number and the stupid thing is doing the same thing where it's just searching for a network!!!!!
Ahhhh. Someone please help.
My Pay as you go O2 sim works fine and for does the original O2 sim.
Thanks
BK
Panic over!!
Went into the phone network settings and changed the Network Selection to manual from Automatic. Then used the select button to choose "O2 - UK". The sim is now being recongnised and I have full reception again. Phew!
No idea why i suddenly have to do this out of the blue when it was working perfectly before.
BK
Oh Man! Just when I thought i had this thing sorted. It's failing to register on the O2 network again.
Anyone else having similar problems with unlocked SPV M3100's?

Please don't say this. My SPV M3100 will be here thursday.
I have my other pay as you go O2 sim in the m3100 at the moment and it working fine.
Therefore I am guessing the problem lies with my work contract O2 sim. I don't think it's tied in any way to the imei as I have tried the sim with multiple non work phones and it's fine.
I have read somewhere there may be issues with old 2g sim's i.e. 5 years old+ working in new 3g phones. I think mine was issued to me about 2000/2001.
Now all I need to do is workout how I am going to get the company I work for to issue me a new sim!

I had similar problem as you are. My M3100 wouldn't hold onto O2 signal. Not sure if its the phone, the Orange Rom, the O2 sim card, imei check unlocking or what. Solved it by flashing the Dopod rom works near flawlessly now. Can't guarantee it'll work for you but it did for me.
I give up.
Managed to get me a brand new O2 sim from work and............ it still does not work im my unlocked Orange SPV M3100!!!!
Whats so bizarre is my Pay As You Go O2 sim works fine and my original work sim worked initially for a few days.
Going to test my work sim in another 3G phone.
If its the sim then I will try and find out what needs switching on/off. Failing this then it's either going to be ebay or see if I have enough courage to try a rom upgrade.
ROM upgrading is actually very easy. All you need to do is download the desired rom. Connect the phone over wired usb activesync & then just start the rom program & its just a matter of following the on screen instructions from there.
What you will find that once the upgrading starts it'll get to 6% or something like that & then it will stop & display error messages. Don't worry just exit the program with disconnecting the phone (infact don't touch the phone at all) & start again. You'll go through all the same screens as before but this time the update should load till it finished. Takes a good 15mins so be patient.
I'm running the Dopod rom on my M3100 & everything is pretty stable.
Thanks for the advise Zen123
I have since my last post upgraded the Radio rom to 1.16.00.00
Touching wood with my fingers crossed and my lucky rabbits foot in my pocket I have a network coverage on my work O2 sim for 2 whole days!!!!!
The device has been reset several times and I use the Tube daily so signal is lost and gained frequently.
I am however still not yet completely convinced the issue is fixed as I believe I had network coverage for approx 4-5 days with O2 after I originally unlocked it.
I'll update this thread after a week or 2.

Hi,
just to prove you are not alone:
A guy i know using a Tango sim in Luxemburg bought an unlocked Vario II which worked fine with original T-Mobile sims as well as with his old prepaid Tango sim. But his new sim from Tango makes trouble as he can only receive calls but not call others.
Tango support assumed that new Roaming functions on the new sim caused conflicts with the Radio ROM which is 1.05.
He will make an update on 1.16 within the next days, I will report.
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.
R
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.
Hello everybody,
I am living in Japan and I was tired from my old Sharp smartphone with Android. I fall in love with the Lumia 920 and after many internet research and check that says there is no problem,I decided to buy one. I bought it on Amazon from a company in Hong Kong and the phone comes from Australia.
My provider is Softbank. In order to have LTE, is subscribe to a new Iphone 5 that my wife should use later. But when I put the nano SIM of the Iphone to the Lumia I could not get it working. I have at beginning no signal, when I then set the connection speed from 4G to 3G I get softbank signals but then no data connection.
I also went to (some) Softbank shops, and everytime the staffs told me it's not a Softbank device so it's not working....but I can hardly believe that they lock the SIM for Softbank's devices...in my opinion SIM doesn't recognize the device, does she?
Has anyone of you experience of Lumia in Japan? is there any specific set up to perform?
For the moment I just use the Iphone as tethering for the Lumia...but it's a quite expensive solution and my wife will not agree this as long term solution.
Thank you in advance,

HI,
Are you sure about nano sim or you use an adapter ?
Lumia cannot work with nano sim.
If sim is not recognized you will receive SIM error.
If lumia is sim-locked you will be asked for unlock code if SIM is recognized.

Hello,
Thank you.
Yes actually I use an adapter (and I broke the small pins when pulling out the SIM rack...but that's another story )
The Lumia was sold as SIM free. When I put the first time I didnt get windows to ask the unlocking code...so I guess it's really SIM free.
Then I didn't get the Softbank network...I check in the setting we 4G activated he didn't recognize the Softbank LTE network...but with 3G he could find it. So I think the SIM is recognized and that it's then just a setting issue? or also I saw that some people had issue with different roms??

what pins you broke ? SIM readers pins ?
if this is the case your phone probably don't read the SIM card I have the same issue and have to change the flex cable with the SIM reader.
can you make phone calls when you're running 3g ?
Hi there,
I'm from Germany and went to a scuba diving trip to Egypt two weeks ago. Last year I bought an Egyptian Vodafone SIM to use the cheaper conditions for SMS and Internet with my rooted HTC Desire HD.
This year, I thought, I could redo this with my stock HOX+ which I got by extending my contract (also Vodafone) . But as I attached the SIM to my phone it wasn't recognizing it. As soon as I switched back to the German card everything went back fine (except the prices).
So I thought the HOX+ came with something like a SIM lock, which is uncommon for a non-prepaid phone in Germany, and decided to root it and install a custom ROM (CM 10.1)
But also with this ROM the phone won't work with the Egyptian SIM. The SIM did work in two different phones and their SIMs didn't work in my phone either.
So is it possible, that there is something like a regional lock on the HOX+ which is not related to the used ROM? And how could I get an foreign SIM to work in my HOX+?
Hello there xda forum,
I just registered today for this problem. I'm really sorry for my bad english! I hope somebody can help me, that would be great
So i came today from India to Austria. I was there to visit my family and that stuff. I buyed there a new phone cause my old phone is dead with water. I have buyed before 1 week my new phone. Its called: Micromax Canvas Fire a104. This phone is just 1 month old and costs olny 7000 rupees. It has dual sim, one micro and one big sim. So i have tried there vodafone and tata docomo and they worked perfect. I just put them like for 1 hour, just to check the network. Now today the problem starting. I have a sim from Austria called "drei" and it doesnt work in that phone. But it other phone it works. I will try today to put some other out country sims, but I dont think they will work. I have put the sim in the micro and big slot (with a adapter) but they just dont work. But they work on s4, in old nokias and that stuff. What should I do now? Does those Micromax company only work in India, Russia, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka? Because in Austria or like in germany are they not selled.
Thanks for reading and please help me

BaseBand Error
The problem is that Micromax phones dont support different countries bandwidth other than in which it is sold.
So using any other sim other than those will not be able to function properly.
So try some international sim or buy a new phone
Hey buddy,
thanks for you're answer. I just figured it out... you just blow in the sim pocket and rub the sim on your pants and tadaaaaaa, there he goes.
