Hi there, I have a SIM card that supports two phone numbers. All I have to do is go to the Sim Toolkit, select the 2in1 menu and it swaps from mobile #1 and mobile #2. Basically, it forwards call from one number to the other.
My problem is that everything related to calls (timers, counters, history, etc.) is lost when I swap between the 2 lines. Also when I go to see my contacts, every time it says that a new SIM has been detected and if I want to copy the contacts from the SIM to the phone.
Is there a fix about this? The phone is the Alcatel 995.
Thank you in advance.
This phone is Dual SIM or works with one only? Maybe it's SIM problem because is 2 different numbers. Android thinks there is a new SIM on the phone, so this cannot be fixed.

No, the phone is not Dual Sim. Its just one sim and with the SIM Toolkit you can change between the two phone numbers. Is there at least some application that keeps its own call history and doesnt read it from the stock android app?
Thanks.

SGS2 saying unknown number in Status My Phone Number.How to fix it? I am able to make calls and receive calls.
Insert your sim card into a dumb phone that has the option of setting your own phone number and then put it back in the SII. It will show the number you have set

I have only 3 other phones other than SGS2.Nokia N900,Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and Samsung SGH-J800
Then check if any of them supports that option. Android can't detect sim number by default.

and One more Question SGS2 shows once every 1-4hrs saying Refreshing Sim (Only with Vodafone when I use my different Sim it says nothing)
Can any one Help with my 2/1 questions
Never encountered this sim refreshing on my device, most likely a faulty sim card. As to your first question, i don't really know how can someone in here help you more than providing the right info. I told you what you need to do. Just get/borrow a phone which has this option , set your number and it will work. Guess no one in here could give you a phone, so you have to look for it in real life.

Thanks Just now remembered Samsung SGH-J800 have that feature and checked closely and it was there.Changed sim and entered number...I think that sim Refreshing might be because of unknown number
Nope, been using my phone for 2 months before setting the number, not even once have i seen sim refreshing.

oh and While I was reading your post Mobile light glowed again saying refreshing Sim data.Looks like it is Sim Problem
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I'd like to know how to fix this
Thank you
You can change phone number in sim card details using cyanogenmod, in dialer settings menu.
Now that android dual sim phones are coming, can one of the greater modders make a dual sim dialer for us. That is a dialer that will prompt you to select sim 1 or 2 before dialing. Thanks in advance.
Won't these phones come with a dialer thats does that ?
DW contacts & dialer works just fine. Though, I would have wanted the Sim 1/2 icons integrated into the UI instead of having a popup screen for calls.
Go Sms works fine for dual sims.
Request help for Google Voice to work in dual SIM Android
I am working on a dual SIM android PCBA.
The Android dialer is made to operate the dual SIM and SIM standby mode.
However, in this Android OS the dual SIM function block the other WiFi telephone dialing functions, such as Google Voice and Skype.
Is there any advice on where to stand to unblock this to allow outgoing WiFi phone dialing to calls?
Thank you.
That already exists on every mediatek based dualsim phone...

True. I have one since a week.
But the annoying thing is that SIM Contact Binding doesn't work properly.
When I have binded a contact to a SIM and I choose to call this person, it will still ask me to choose which SIM to use.
Then what is the contact binding for in the first place???
Hi there, I am searching for an app that can keep a call log in its own database and not read the one off the phone.
My problem is that I have a 2in1 sim card and whenever I switch from one phone number to the other with the Sim Toolkit, the phone thinks that the sim changed and resets my call log.
Another problem it has (for which I dont really care) is that whenever I enter the Contacts app, it says, new sim detected, copy new contacts to phone? but thats nothing.
Thanks.
This seems to be a regular stupid problem in Android phones.
I had to change my SIM card to get a micro-sim for the GS3.
Now, my existing number is working again with the micro SIM, but the number apparently isn't actually STORED in the SIM card itself.
So, as far as the phone status is concerned, the number remains UNKNOWN.
It's not such a big deal, but a few apps do want it to be there.
Is there any way to change the number in the SIM, apart from taking it out and stuffing it in a Blackberry just to change it, etc ?

Thanks for the reply rizky, but I have no problem with contacts - I've sync'ed all those no problem. It's my own phone number that's the issue.
In the ideal world, my own phone number should be saved in a special part of the SIM card (different to contacts). I believe that sometimes the network operator sends a special type of text message to update it if you get a new card. Unfortunately, my new card didn't get updated, so although the phone works OK, my GS3 doesn't actually know it's own number.
I can READ the number as "unknown" in the phone status screen, but it is not possible to edit it in Android.

This is not a setting in stock android devices. You usually find the setting in cyanogen roms under call settings.
There are apps on the market that can write your number to your sim card. They have varying success

I presume that they need root access though, don't they?
Android, setting Own number / My Phone Number Galaxy SIII
First, to see if your phone knows your number go to:
Settings -> About Device -> Status -> My phone number
Often it's wrong if you transferred your number from another SIM or is simply unrecognized perhaps because it's a new SIM and it has never been entered.
To correct it:
There is an app. on the market "My Phone Number" but this frequently won't work on the SIII so,
If you use cyanogen six and aboveYou will have an option to enter or change your own number. Settings -> Call Settings -> Additional Settings -> My phone numberIf you are not using CyanogenA simple way to correct the number grab an old "dumb" phone. The number is stored on the SIM card, so you need to remove you Galaxy SIII SIM and put it in the old phone.
(you can use a Micro SIM adapter or in some cases you can just tape the card in the correct position if it is an open slot)
Older basic phones often have an option to change/enter "special numbers" including "My Number"
Most often the option is under Contacts, Options, Special Numbers although depending on the model you may need to hunt around for the setting.
It is worth correcting this if it is missing or incorrect because some apps and contact features rely on the number being correctly entered.

w00t - just discovered this!
Well, you can do all that, or you can do this (much more straightforward, IMHO)
There's an Xposed framework solution to this glitch here
Works a treat!
Get it done!
good to know Xposed can do it now.
Its not an android glitch. Its a SIM card glitch
A glitch nonetheless

Hi everyone,
I am currently using WhatsApp on 1 device with a UK SIM card. I want to switch to my Brazilian SIM card and use WhatsApp with that (seperate) account on the same device, but still have the facility to switch back and forth between the two when I change the SIM card over.
But WhatsApp now has a feature to "make changing number easy" which I think converts the account to a new number. Does anyone know how to do it differently?
