Hi,
I've got an Alpine (Qtek 2020i) and use a cheap prepaid card (Yesss) to phone.
Now I'd also like to have GPRS internet from One.
Now I found http://mobile.brando.com.hk/SIMMAX6in1.php.
I sounds ABSOLUTELEY great but I'm not sure if this works on my device.
Can anybody give me an advice if it will work?
How is changing the SIM handled?
Both SIM cards would be from the same networking operator, but one SIM would be a data-only card and the other the speach-only prepaid card.
Thanks in advance!!

I even use MultiSIM 10 with 4x scanned simcards(it was 6, 2 died...).
Works excellent. No need to reboot phone to change provider, as it was on Symbian devices.

any1 tested?
I want too, but i want to be sure the today plugin is working correctly
Also if you are roaming, will it switch automaticly ? Or do you need to manually switch provider?
wow that looks pretty good...
i am really interested too....
i think it switches automaticly.
anybody?? this sound really good
Word of advice, while I've been investigating various dual/multi-SIM solutions available on the net, it's become apparant that many of these are quite "fishy". I.e. they don't work as advertised. A lot of issues especially with the newer 3G-SIMs. When it comes down to Simone, they are incredibly expensive and also get quite some pepper on various forums. Don't be fooled by a fancy website
If you absolutely do want to test out a dual-sim solution its probably better to risk a way cheaper solution from e-bay as it seems its mostly the same one or two producers behind most of these products, just sold by many different people/resellers.

i have used the dual sim adapter without succes. it seems that cutting the original sims has to be done very acurate which i did but no results. Also a lot of pressure has to be aplied on the sims/apapter for good contact otherwise it would work.
may be in near futere i would like to try a non-cut version.
cheers, Steven
There is another way to do this : instead of inserting two, cut, sim cards, you just insert one sim card but programmed with two different sim cards.
I made a thread about this, I just wanted to know if anyone had experience in that : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349410
This sim card programmer can be found here :

As it's not very expensive, it could be interesting to test it.

The problem with this thing is that it cannot backup the newer SIMs. I tried this with my Cingular 3GSM SIM and it would not work. It only works with older SIMS. So if you have two older SIMs you could be in business.

I am using Simore card in my Kaiser for 2 months now...
FYI, Simore cards do not support 3G protocols: I had problems with it (freezes, no access to 3G or 3G+) and phoned Simore company and they confirmed it. I can only use Edge as the best protocol available for data.
For avoiding any problem of freezing, you need to set in the "band" index of the phone parameter menu the type of network you use (GSM or CDMA) instead of leaving the default "automatic" choice. You can leave "auto" for "GSM /UMTS" Band parameter (even though Simore told me to set the first choice: "GSM (900+1800)+UMTS (2100)"...)

This is true. It is not yet possible to copy a 3g sim. Someday the code in the sim will be cracked though.

Hi there,
would like to ask you several quick questions:
1. are you mounting two GSM SIM-cards on your SIMore?
2. are you using "SIMore Gold #1" model for the adapter?
please advise (laubet / anyone that has tried it before).
thanks for the reply.

I finall figured out how to get this dual sim card to work. You need to first manually switch the network. For me its T-mobile and AT+T. Once you manually choose the network, then use the sim program to choose the appropriate sim card. For some reason automatic selection of network does not work. Any other way hangs card, or makes network unavailable.
My Kaiser has refused to recognise my T_Mobile uk sim card. The T-mobile card works well with any other phone. My kaiser also works well with other sim cards from 3, orange and vodafone. My kaiser was unlocked last month. Pls help. T-Mobile has accepted to change the card for £10.
Did it used to work?
We upgraded a number to a number of Kaisers some months back - kept the existing SIM cards that we had been using. All was fine but then when one Kaiser died, we got a replacement and the SIM card which was working fine (and was by now probably two+ years old) in the now dead Kaiser, refused to work in the new one. Worked fine in other phones.
Took it in to a T-Mobile shop and they replaced the SIM card - all then fine.
Hope that helps.
Sounds like it's an old T-Mobile sim card. If so, get it swapped. Should sort your problem. If not, then I don't know what to suggest. Have you tried another T-Mobile sim?
Happened to me when I got a T-Mobile PAYG SIM last week to trial for data coverage.
Popped SIM in and worked well.
I then tried a Vodafone Sim and that was ok.
When I put the T-Mobile SIM back in - I got the message "no SIM found"
Tried Orange and Vodafone and they both gave the same message !
I was not convinced the SIM'S were making good contact - there seemed too much movement under the flimsy metal crossbar.
The solution to get the T-Mobile and other SIM's working was to insert a small piece of paper on top the SIM as you slide it under the metal crossbar.
This puts a little bit of extra padding on top of the SIM to help make decent contact.
I suppose the paper could be put on top of the crossbar instead to achieve the same effect but have not tried this.

i like to know if there is room enough above the sim to use a duosim from duosim.xcom ?
Anyone an idea?
come on , is there any room to place a dual sim ?
Oh, wow. That stuff looks cool. Now I'm curious too.
Yes, there should be room enough.
So, I've tried it and yes it fits but it doesn't work.
The TD has 8 connections to the SIM card and the Magic Sim (www.dual-sim.nl, 16th cut version) has 6 connections. It is 16th gen card which they propose to use for smartphones....
It works on my old Nokia 6021. This phone has 6 connections to the SIM Card.
The cutted SIM Card doesn't work anymore on the TD so I have to purchase a new one. I have sent a mail to dual-sim.nl. I will post the outcome.
number of contacts is irrelevant. Only 6 contacts are used for sim cards, the last 2 are RFU (reserved for future use).
If i read you right, after you cut up your sim card it doesnt work anymore? even directly in the phone without the dual sim? If thats the case your broke your sim while cutting it. The dual sim may or may not work still.
The cutted SIM doesn't work in the TD but does work in the Nokia 6021.
The Magic Sim doesn't work in the TD but does work in the Nokia 6021.
So, my assumption was that the cut is the reason that the SIM card doesn't work anymore on the TD. Strange that it still works in the 6021??
No, there is an incompatability between the magic sim and the touch diamond it sounds like. Only 6 contacts on the sim are used, the last two do nothing.
So if it works fine in your 6021 and not the TD, then its the magic sim that has the problem.
What error do you receive? no sim/insert sim?
SIM card is seen, Magic Sim program is available in teh TD but it doesn't register to the network.

Hmm thats really strange. What happens when you manually register?
It lists the available networks. KPN (my provider) in one of the them. If I try to connect to this netwerk the same thing occurs: can't register... I can try another network (roaming)?
Hmm that means the IMSI is not being passed corectly.
Sounds like a bug with the multisim itself. Another brand might work.
Not all new USIM cards works fine.
Put your phone on GSM mode instead of WCDMA or Auto.
Then the Dualsim works fine.

Due to your questions I tried it again and came to the conclusion that the cutted SIM card didn't work in the TD because it didn't contacted completely. I also saw a different kind of slide for the Magic Sim which leads to a better contact of the Magic Sim to the TD and now everythong works!!
Thanks someone1234 for taking the effort ask further

Thats great! no problem.
Does the Dual-sim 16th gen. non-cut version also fit into the TD?
I don't think my employer will appreciate it if I would cut my KPN sim-card of my company phone...
anyone tried the 20th gen dual sim adapters yet?
Hello
Did some one uses dual sim card adpaptor for using 2 number at the same time online ? with the Himalaya ? if so, which ? Thanks
Hey,
I think it should be possible. The most dualsim adapters are changing the sim card after a reboot.
have a nice day,
gustl

It is NOT possible to use 2 numbers online at the SAME time with only ONE Receiver Transmitter Unit. Its just technically impossible.
You can use a Dual (multiple) SIM-Adaptor , but there is only ONE sime at the time active. You can change the active SIM by disactivating/activating Radio or by a tool.
It's possible to use a dual-SIM adapter on all and any phones (in theory), and it functions exactly as what gustl has said. But the hard part is finding the right one so it fits in to the back of the phone. GL finding the right one that can fit right on the Hima, considering how tightly packed the back of the Himalaya is.
But i think the question was in deed it is possible to habe two numbers online at the SAME time, with a dual Sim Adaptor, and this is NOT possible.
There are some phones in the Market with two GSM Units. They all have the same problem double GSM Units equals double Power consuption, your standby time decreases dramatically.
Using a Dual SIM Adaptor is a good alternative two have possibilty to change between two Sim Cards, BUT there is only ONE Oneline at a time. (What should be good enough for 99% of us). If you really need a second SIM active i would prefer a small second mobile. (Just my 2 cents)
Dual SIM adapters use SIM toolkit to switch between SIM's. As there is no working STK for WM6.1 on Hima it will NOT work.
Possible for 2 sims to be toggled at one go using dual sim adapter
Sorry for posting this reply a bit late, just came across this thread today. With regards to your query as to whether dual sim adapter will be able to toggle 2 SIMS at one go, my answer is yes. I've done it before with my O2 XDA II but unfortunately I’m unable to do it now once I upgraded my rom to 1.60.00 WWE. Only one rom version for himalaya will be able to do it but till now I'm unable to locate it. The version I'm referring to is 1.52.00 WWE. If anyone happen to have or stumble upon this rom, appreciate if you could either upload it or point it to me as where I can locate it.
Hi everybody!
They have given me in the company a vodafone ´s TyTN II and I have liberated her following the instructions that exist in the Post created by Olipro in:

I have looked for information in Xda but I do not find anything.
I have tried of putting the HardSPL v3.28 for if the flies and nothing.
Help, please!
Thank you,

Sounds like you need a new SIM card. Try your VODAFONE Card in another phone and see if it works. Contact Vodafone for a replacement.
I have tried the card with other phone and it works. Now I´m working with it card in a unlocked HTC P3300 and run right.
Now I have tried with six diferents vodafone card and none work. the phone say "Insert SIM card"
Looks like your Vodafone SIM cards are still the older 5 volt standard than the (these days) common 3.5 volt
Insert SIm
Hi I had a similar problem (SIM card missing when inserted Vodafone SIM card. I asked Vodafone to send me anotherone, that worked. My old SIM still worked in my Blackberry.
