3G and dual sim - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

hi all
wonder if someone has some advice please.
i bought a dual sim card holder where you cut the sim cards and fit them into one holder.
fitted in my phone, my main number comes up but i seem not able to select and swap the numbers using the sim menu that does show.
i was wondering if maybe this is because the phone is set to 3G?
can i switch to GSM on the diamond and wonder how i do this please?
my "main" number is a TMobile contract number and shows up fine.
my other number is a PAYG Virgin sim
many kind thanks

Dual Sim voice/Data: the final word

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

Tilt with T-Mobile Sim Card

I just got the Tilt and have unlocked it but I had to use my spare Roger's Sim Card for the Tilt to recognize the sim card. The Tilt doesn't recognize the T-Mobile sim card when I insert it. On my other phones it will read it. The sim card is about 3 years old, not sure if the Tilt only accepts larger size sim cards or what. Is there any way to fix this?

How did you unlock it?
It's not necessarily larger sim cards, but 3G sim cards if you need to use 3G. But it shouldn't affect your voice signal.
I inserted a different Sim card other than AT&T, asked for the unlock code and I entered it. Unlock was sucessfull but only with the Roger's sim card, I use that when I travel to Canada. My primary carrier is T-mobile, anytime I insert the T-mobile sim, the tilt says the sim card is missing. I thought there was something wrong with the actual sim card but I just placed them in my K800i and w810 phone and saw the sim card with no problem. I don't care for 3g since T-mobile doesn't support it yet.

Did you try to go into network under the phone settings, and select automatic?
It is set to automatic, the problem is that the Tilt believes there is no sim in the slot when the sim card is in the slot.
if the sim is 3 years old it maybe the sim is actually too old for newer devices
we have found this with some devices with some vodafone devices.
I work on all mobiles (In the US) for a living and due to the old SIM revision, it is too old to be recognized in newer devices software. If you go to the T-Mobile store and buy a new SIM for $15 they will move your service to the new SIM and the Tilt will read it.

Metro SIM in BLU R1 HD not being seen

I have a friend who is on MetroPCS here in the States and he can't seem to get his SIM card to be seen by this device. It was originally meant as a going-to-college gift but has turned into more of a headache than a gift. Yes, we know that MetroPCS uses T-Mobile's towers and the Blu R1 HD is entirely compatible with it...we just don't know why his SIM won't work. Originally we had to get a SIM adapter for the Nano SIM to make it fit the MicroSIM slots, but regardless of which slot we put it in, the phone is stuck on "Emergency Calls Only".
If anyone could help, that'd be a lifesaver, as he starts school on the 22nd of August.
Things we've tried:
Going through the searching for operators function in settings->more->cellular networks
Entering different values in APNs (settings->more->cell networks->APNs)
Restarting a bagillion times
Changing preferred networks
Repeatedly tapping on which sim slot to use for data and messaging
Going into Data Usage only to not find the Cellular data option next to MetroPCS
Did you try another SIM? It's possible that the phone itself is shot. Otherwise, the SIM could be shot. Did you try the SIM in another device? It seems unlikely (however, not impossible) that the SIM and the phone just don't like each other. It's also possible that your adapter is positioning the SIM incorrectly. You should be able to get a good one by going to a T-Mobile store. They usually have a few laying around.
Doesn't Metro require you to give them the phone's IMEI before being able to use the new phone? Contact Metro CS and tell them you got a new phone that you want to use and give them the IMEI
If you alrdy did that then try using another active SIM (borrow from friend/family) and see if that works fine with the phone in case the phone is defective
I have Metro PCS and this phone. You need to call MetroPCS and give them the IMEI. Make sure you give them the right IMEI as there are 2 SIM slots on the phone - each with its own IMEI
We went to a T-mobile store to get a good adapter for free.
Thanks, we'll try this!
It worked. His phone is now setup thanks.

Dual SIM data use - if you have two SIMS - please could you test this app for me?

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

Dual sim Data confirmation if possible

I saw something a bit odd here. It says here on specs that secondary sim only supports voice but from what I know is that both SIM cards support data. Is there something wrong here? Do both sim slots not support data? To the best of my knowledge with this phone you can have two SIM cards and use data on both of them allowing you to download two WeChat apps and have two numbers for each WeChat account on one smartphone. Is this not the case now?? See link from HK below and look at the bottom of the specs page for supported bands on SIM card tray.

Hi
I don't have a second SIM handy but looking at the settings you set the phone with a default SIM for calling and a default for data. Makes sense you would have to do this. So outbound calls and default use of data is pushed through either SIM. Don't know if that helps....
Found a SIM and popped this in. I now have another option enabled which says switch data connection between calls. So the option moves the data to SIM 2 when taking a 4g call on SIM 1....
