Hi All
Has anybody managed to get a 3 (Three network) SIM to work on an Orange SPV after SIM unlocking.
I would like to be able to use my other phone's SIM in the Hermes.
All advice appreciated.
Thanx in advance

yes, it works fine

Can you get full HSDPA speeds though?
My 3 SIM in my TyTn won't let me go above GPRS as its not my primary phone. So I'm paying for a service I can't use. I've spoken to their CS who basically said, no sorry, you've got to use that Nokia we sent you as your phone.
My T-Mobile SIM out of my 3G data card for my laptop works like a charm.
Guess which contract I'll be ripping up next month? Clue: its not the T-Mobile one.
I have put in a 3 PAYG SIM card and it worked, but I didn't test any calls.
What does happen though is the roaming triangle icon appears if you turn off 3G, which I guess is right because it's technically roaming on Orange (although the network name still says '3')
apparently most of the networks are distributing new sim cars for use with their 3g networks, and because of the upgrades, older sim cards wont work with newer services. my 3g service in the us wont work with an older US at&t card, and they had to give me a new one. so give 3 a call and ask them for a new sim card. say yours got broken or something, otherwise they may charge you. but ask first if they will give you one free first. good luck

I think your problem might be that the 3 hsdpa service you are on is x series. I have asked in their shops about it, because it seems to be the best 3g deal, but they said its only compatible with a few phones made specifically for x series, eg n73. And it cant be used on other phoens because it is a sort of program embedden in the phones, rather then a homepage like vodafone live, which you can just link to.
Hope i have helped, and correct me if im worng

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.

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?)
I recently decided I loved my Aria so much I was going to purchase the unlock code so I could use it on a prepaid service (I no longer use at&t).
I am ROOTed, and am running the Liberty Sense 2.2.2 ROM.
After I inserted my T-mobile pre-paid SIM and got the message "enter SIM unlock code" I did as instructed. It said it was accepted and My phone booted without that annoying please insert sim message. Yay right? Nope it can't connect to the mobile network. After doing a little googling and hunting around I found that the phone has to be compatible with the GSM frequency that the company your planning on using has.
Well this is what my device supports:
HSPA/WCDMA:
900/2100MHz
Up to 2 Mbps upload and 7.2 Mbps download speeds
GSM:
850/900/1800/1900MHz
(Band frequency, HSPA availability, and data speed are operator dependent.)
Which is apparently compatible with T-mobile. Well whenever I try and connect it says it fails and gives me and error message:
"SIM card not provisioned MM2"
After doing some google searches on that I found that it may mean you need to replace your sim etc. I've tried 2 different T-mobile SIMS and they both failed. Yet they both work in the T-mobile phones.
If anyone knows a work around to get me past this crap I would GREATLY appreciate it. It's been turned into an all day project and I'm nearing a tired and disappointing end.
Also info that may help:
-Neither of the SIMS currently have minutes on them but are both still activated under the owners names and display signals on the T-mobile devices.
- My HTC aria IS unlocked and IS rooted/loaded with a custom rom
-I can locate the 2 networks available in my region when I click on search for networks in my "wireless/network settings"
If you need anymore info to help answer the question please let me know and I will provide it as soon as I am able.
The phone is fine. It may be because you don't have minutes on the plan, or because the SIM card is too old or something. I'd suggest going into a T-Mobile store and getting it squared away.
Yes after several hours of hunting I was able to find someone who had the same problem. Apparently whether the SIM gets signal or not from the device it came from it will give you an error on the device you put it in until the SIM has actual minutes on it. The guy had said on his post he tried around 3 different cards and all had the same effect.
Sorry for the double post just wanted to update.
The reason I wasn't able to get signal on the phone was because the T-mobile sim card I was using was an un-paid Flex Pay SIM card with T-mobile. The actual prepaid SIM (which im using now) gets a signal even when there aren't minutes on the device so you can add funds to your account through the mobile phone.
Hello,
I have a network problem in my SGS3. I'm from Indonesia and using XL Axiata as my provider.
I set my mobile network to wcdma only.. after i move from one place to another usually i have a problem with internet connection.. whatsapp and twitter is still on but i can't do other things (ex: browsing and Line)
My temporary solution is i'm re-register my mobile network / activate-deactivate airplane mode, then my internet connection is back to normal.
Previously i have a SGS2 and i didn't found this problem..
I'm already using custom rom, custom kernel and changing my modem, but the problem is still occured.
Is my SGS3 defect? or it's just network provider problem?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks
I have the same problem since I cut my XL sim into micro sim.
Usually it just work fine with my SGS2. I think my SGS3 have a problem with mobile network, but the cutted micro sim inserted into SGS2 have the same problem.
I tried to use micro sim from another provider (Three), and it just work fine. So, I conclude the problem is the cutted XL sim card (should not be a problem, but there is a problem with mine and some of my friends).
Until now I still used XL, but I bought XL iSim (micro sim from the package, not the cutted one) because the very affordable XmartPlan promo, and I don't have a network problem using the XL iSim.
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 ?
