Has anyone been able to dual SIM a MteoR?
I have a 13th Generation 'Cut' dual SIM Adaptor, works fine with my C500 (Typhoon) (and 2G Orange and 3G Vodafone SIMS). But it doesn't work with my MteoR - says 'No SIM' with the Invalid SIM error message.
It did once appear to work for about 3 seconds with my orange SIMs, but then stopped!
I have seen a 15th and 20th Generation adaptors on ebay, but was wondering if anyone else had tried and/or achieved this?
As ever... whenever I post, the answer seems to fall in my very next search!

Am going to get one of these from either of these websites and try it out.

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?
Hi,
Tried using the search function here but nothing came up in the X1 forums. I have been thinking about getting the X1 but given my normal needs, I need access to two numbers during the day.
Is anyone already using a dual sim adapter (cut or uncut version) or knows of a reliable one for the X1?
Thank
Hi
I just ordered one the other day. When I get it i'll report if its any good or not!

How do you plug it?
You must remove the battery cover.
Hi
I think its the usual "saw up your sim cards" job, then fit the important bits into a holder thats the same size as a normal sim, then stick this in the sim slot.
For the most part switching between sims involves powering off/on the phone. I did have one in the distant past that would swap sims when you set it to flight mode then back out again.
We shall see, it was only £6 quid iirc.

The dual sims also have phone numbers to switch sim.
Ps. could you share link. I also wanna buy a good one.
please tell us of the HSDPA works with the dial sim card thing because most of the time only 3G is supported
Any news?????
So what happened?
Anyone know if there are adaptors which will always use one SIM card unless told otherwise (rather than switch when power-off)? Ta.
i guess no updates on this but i did see this:

Do dual sims work in the X1?
I'm using the dualsim adapter of simore in my xperia
switching from sim1 (vodafone) to sim2 (simyo/eplus) works realy fine - it durate max 15 seconds
but switching back to sim1 making sometimes trouble...so that i has to softreset the phone
i dont know if that is a global problem with the xperia and the simore adapter or if somethin is damaged in the simcards/adapter?!
additional i have to change the sms service number after changing the simcards...
has someone problems with that too? or a better solution?
sorry for bad english O
Simore
Yeh, Simore are meant to be the best, I was looking to get one also but for the good Simore one you are looking at paying 70euros which is far too much.
Unfortunately, the design of the Xperia means it is only possible to use Sim Adapters that chop the sim card to pieces and fit them in the size of 1 sim.
Edit: http://www.simore.ch/en/mobile_phone_accessory/Sony-Ericsson/Xperia-X1.html
Curious to know if that works on Kaiser. They are charging exorbitantly high. wish to know if there are any other reliable agencies offering same service. Cheers.
I ordered few different models from eBay but either of them didint work. If someone succeeds on this please report.
I had an older dual-SIM adaptor that I've been using for the last couple of years. I tried it in the X1 and it worked okay (flight mode to switch). The problem was that it didn't support any 3G at all, so in a 3G area it was constantly attempting to get a 3G lock, dropping the signal, then trying to get a lock again. In the end I had to disable HSDPA.
Then I got a new SIM from O2. I just put the SIM in directly without the adaptor. BLAM! Better signal and HSDPA access. So I've been on the lookout for another adaptor that still allows for switching but supports HSDPA. I keep ending up at simore.ch as well and wonder if their "Black 1" is up to the task. I don't want to pay out €40 just to see if it works though... I need to hear from someone else who has bought one and used it for HSDPA access.
So the question is who will bell the cat. None of us are eager to try it out. So would like someone with his experience to come over here & let others know if it was a success or not. I am interested in kaiser utility.Cheers
i have to disable hsdpa and umts while using my simore black1 adapter...if hsdpa is enabled the connection always broke down
it show the symbol that the signal is good and after 30-60seconds my xperia search for signal...endlessly...
i dont know if that is a problem with one of my sims (but without the sim adapter they both connect to hsdpa) or if that is a problem of simore
i think the last one
It's the sim adaptor.
My old one does EXACTLY the same thing. It attempts to get a H or 3G lock, then loses the signal and recycles back again. It sounds like simore are just the same as the £6 one that I got from eBay 2-3 years ago.
I just cannot understand why it's so problematic to build a sort of cartridge (like those dual-SIM adapters) with two EEPROM of Flash elements inside and sell it together with a USB SIM reader-writer?
So any basic user could copy his/her two SIMs to this cartridge and skip all the mess with improper cutting and loosing two SIMs?
AFAIK any SIM could be fully read. Why it cannot be simply copied?
I've got very cheap dual sim adaptor (11th generation) and it fully works in new itje's ROM. I also copied STK from this ROM to memory card and tried it in older itje's ROM Touck-It 4.0 RC1.1 I could connect to internet via HSDPA and simply switch SIMs, so you don't need too expensive SIMORE adaptor.
Edit: I have tested internet connection short time and I didn't have signal lost, I'm out of credit right now but I will report more after I'll top-up and do more tests.
(sorry for my poor english)
Hi ,
I bought this dual sim from GR8-IDEAS, but cannot get it working. The product and everything fits OK, when I power up the 'phone, I get a signal for a moment and then nothing. The "Dual Sim" program seems to work. Anyone got one of these working or have any ideas?
http://www.gr8-ideas.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=supersimNC
I unlocked the 'phone with Olipros [UPG]Diamond CID/Security/SIM Unlocker
Anyone Help?
Hey,
When in the UK, I can use any sim card from any carrier and they work. Now that I am in the US for 6 months, I tried using a US sim card. When I try to make a call or text, the phone loses signal. The sim works in another phone. I tried with two US sim cards and they have the same problem. Is this meant to happen? How can I fix it?
I am on RIL/Baseband v30a. I tried changing the ROM and the same thing happens!
Thanks!
Nebster
EDIT: Oops, made a mistake, UK sim card doesn't work here either. Just says Call Ended when trying to call a number (or Out of Service Area and then loses signal all together)
