Hi i have been looking for a DUAL Sim for some time for various phones. And i just traded in my Kaiser in for a S730.
I am looking for a dual Sim that is capable of rendering both 2g and 3g.
As i am from the UK and have an ORANGE UK sim card and a HUTCHINSON 3G UK sim card.
I can seem to find one that will support 3g (UMTS) to its full potential.
Any help
I've got this http://www.dual-sim.nl/ and it works fine

hi there guys.is it possible to get the XDA2's on the 3G network.A family member want smy old PDA but is on the 3 Network! Need to no if there is a flash,Rom, ect...
Thanks layton
Now theres's 'Three' the mobile operator and theres '3G' the technology.
As I understand it, Three's SIM's can be a pain so it's best to just put the SIM in and see, if you can.
I'm quite sure that you can't get 3G on a BA though, regardless of operator or ROM, quite simply because the BA doesn't have the hardware for it.
About the SIM card: 3UK Sim cards are supposed to only work in 3G phones (different type of SIM card). There are some older 3UK Sims that do work in a 2G phone such as the BA. But 3 will be able to find this out an either send you a replacement Sim, or terminate your contract and make you pay the remainder - you broke their T&Cs.
Network: If you have a 3 SIM that works in your BA, you will not actually be using the 3UK network. You will be roaming onto O2 (or Orange from Jan 2007) permanently. The BA is not a 3G device.
yes i understad that the 3g simcards dont work on 2g phones.but u can get a phone which is on 02,orange...for examplea nokia n70.if the phone is on o2 u can flash with 3G software and will work on three.i was just wondering if it might be possible.this is also possible on sony ericcsson 2g phones.i have the phones to prove it.
You can ONLY use 3G services if your device supports 3G. The Nokia N70 DOES. The BlueAngel DOES NOT.
You don't have to flash the phone with the Network Ops variant, just enter the network settings and it will work that way.
Has anybody finally tested the Dual sim card BLACK 1 from simore.ch on the Kaiser with an Orange voice SIM and a data 3G USIM?
They announce compatibility on their website (http://www.simore.ch/en/two_sim_cards_in_one_mobile/dual_sim_card_black_1.php)
for the version where you cut out your sim cards and they also mention "Support all GSM SIM cards (SIM & USIM)"
Don't want to shell out 40 euros and cut my sims if no result!
Any test/ideas out there?
Thanks.
Pierre.
bump, i would really like to know this too as i have both orange and three broadband sims i want to use
I had an MDA Compact 3 (2.5G phone I believe).
I have upgraded to the MDA Compact 4.
However, T-Mobile did not sent ne a new SIM.
Surely my original SIM is 2G and the new phone is 3G.
Should I not have been sent a 3G SIM too?
Or are all T-Mobile SIMS 2G and 3G enabled?

T-Mobile shuld be Edge
My T-Mobile UK Sim Card was supplied when I got my MDA Vario 2 years ago. The phone was 2G only but my SIM card is 3G. I have read elsewhere that T-Mobile only supply 3G SIM Cards - regardless of what phone you get from them. HSDPA works great.
If only Orange did the same. They only supply 3G SIMs with 3G phones. I'm stuck with a 2G SIM that I never use.
It depends on your country. Here all operators are UMTS, so also T-Mobile. They can block UMTS on your sim-card (but can remotely enable it for you), but there's no difference here between a 2G and 3G card in a physical way.
Edge doesn't even exist here anymore, that's soo 1999
it all depends on how old the sim card is, i had a very old O2 simcard and that was not able to run 3G (the card was too old) BUT all newer simcards can run both 2G and 3G (depending on the service coverage)

My understanding is that here are 2 different types of SIM Cards - A SIM (2G) and USIM (3G). 3G will not work on a SIM card - you must have a USIM card. The SIM cards are very different - not in looks, but in the chip.
T-Mobile UK issue USIM cards for all phones, and these will work on 3G.
Orange UK issue SIM cards for 2G phones and these need to be replaced to work on 3G (but try asking for one from Orange and it confuses them to death).
If you do not have a USIM you will not get 3G. The network cannot remotely enable it if you have a plain old 2G SIM card.
I got some free Orange and O2 PAYG SIM cards a couple of months ago and none of them were USIM and would not work on 3G. I think that it why there are so many free PAYG SIM offers at the moment - the networks are trying to offload old stock so they can start issuing everyone with USIMs.
Thanks to all...
I got my SIM card from t-mobile in jan 2007, so I guess its 3G??
Fot the data connection I get a G sometimes and sometimes H on screen but the manual says 3G should be displayed.
On my sons nokia on the three network, i can see 3.5G on the display. That is whats confusing me... i dont see 3G!
H is HSDPA - high speed 3G (3.5G). T-Mobile are/have upgraded their network to HSDPA in the UK, so you won't see 3G symbol on your phone.
Since Australia switched off its 2G network, my second sim card is no longer working.
If I want to be able to use both sims, are there any software fixes I can apply? Or will I have to get a new phone.
Hi,
Thinking of getting HTC Desire 10 Pro D10i 64GB Unlocked Dual SIM 4G 4GB Ram off fleaBay.
I want to have one EE SIM where I have a good data contract
The other SIM I want to put a UK "Jump" SIM in. Expensive contract but VERY flexible.
I will forward all calls from my EE SIM to the "Jump" SIM number and "Jump" SIM will pickup on ALL UK networks. Starting with VodaFone first. Which is really quite cool.
But if the phone drops EE and the Jump SIM comes in, is there anyway I can find an app which will switch off data usage when the "Jump" SIM gets activated?
Link to Jump: http://jump.co.uk/
I have just found this app - which looks like it might.... :
Dual SIM Control - which looks like it will do it, any chance someone could load it up and test it for me?
Many thanks - Mark
TIA
