I have 4 different gsm sim cards and was looking for a solution that didnt involve changing sims or carrying a bag full of phones. I saw a product called Super Sim, it claims to be able to clone 16 sim cards on to one "super" sim. I ordered it, ran the sim scan program, it warns it takes 2 to 5 hours to discover the keys, however it seems that none of the UK sims will clone. The makers say it will work, or at least the distributor says they do. Has anybody had any joy with this kind of kit. I saw amother similar item for sale inUK but the guy points out that only pre 2001 Orange cards have any chance of working because of the type used here in UK. The reader writer is capable of cloning the phone numbers from one sim to another, but that isnt the reason I got it. :? Any info much appreciated.
u can try sim max. but i dont kow if it works u can try and download the software they provide its free u can download it off the website uprobably have a reader since u ought something or other from someone.
check it out post any results.
i am curruntly trying it i will post if any
maybe a generic universal sim to clone your other cards to?????? I know there is some techy crap about newer style SIMs vs Older SIMs and the way they are encoded...... Very vaige though. SOrry, and good luck!

Hello all,
I am searching for a solution to put 2 sim cards in the Kaiser. But I don't want to cut them (the sim cards belong to my company ...).
I've found this on the web :
http://www.duosim.com/supersim.html
With this method, you just program one empty sim card with upto 16 sim cards you may have.
All your sim cards can be converted into a single one !
I've found someone in this forum who say it worked on a HTC Universal (in fact one person said it never worked on its Universal, a second person said it worked ...)
Did someone try this product on the Kaiser ?
Thanks a lot !
You can not without cutting them.
You can't fit two BMW's in a Mini....
S'only a small SIM holder.

Just have a look at what they say : in fact you copy multiple sim cards into one, what's impossible in that ?
I think it may work.

In one respect, you are correct, in another you are doing an illegal act unless the target SIM card is an open (not carrier bound) one you purchased yourself and have the originals as proof!!
Cutting is legal as you are not modifying the security.
The law has to be complied with in your country... got to be careful!
Hello
Sorry for my English but I'm French.
I live in New Caledonia, I bought a Nexus One still packed on ebay (no other way to get one in New Caledonia) and I have a problem.
My Nexus one says "No SIM card", I tried with 10 different SIM cards and I have the same problem (I put in the right direction, I checked several times).
Is it possible that my Nexus One is SIM Locked?
Who knows?
It is no longer guaranteed as I unlocked the bootloader, I saw the problem after.
Someone also tried to repair it and opened it, so if I should send it for repair I know that I should pay, but is it a hardware problem?
I hope it is simply SIM Locked, it would cost me less.
There is no such thing as SIM lock on Nexus. Please search next time.
Nope, it should not be SIM Locked. Actually, it WILL NOT be SIM Locked.
Sounds like the SIM card slot could be going out? Try wedging a few scraps of paper up underneath the SIM card as you insert it to hopefully get a bit more pressure against the contacts.
Good luck!
Did you contact the ebay seller? Sounds like you bought a defective unit.

There's your problem.
If you want broken junk, ebay's a sure thing!
Back then to HTC.
Thank you everyone
Hey guys, i have an issue with my mi5 (been running cyanogenmod/resurrection remix 6.0 versions) on it with dual sim Vodafone DE and T-mobile DE. after a few days my T-mobile Sim card died and i have to replace it.
I have been getting this issue with my old LG G2 running custom os (mostly blissrom either 5.1 or 6.0) as well, e.g. the T-Mobile Sim card getting killed after a day or two in the phone, which i than had to replace ( while in my htc one m9 running modified stock, this doesnt happen and the current card that died in the mi5 lasted over half a year in it without any issues).
Now i have found several posts on the internet describing exactly this, but for oneplus one/two, where its said that T-mobile DE had fixed this with the latest revision of the sim cards (C/W7), which i have as well and died.
a link to reddit about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/44qxyx/oneplus_devices_killing_sim_cards/
Apparently its an issue with MEC, where the card gets burned by the phone. Naturally at first i thought my aging g2 would be the culprit, but apparently its the SIM cards from T-mobile.
Now i was wondering, did anyone see this behavior as well (with t-mobile de simcards)?
Hello from Germany here.
Had exactly the same problem. What seems to help is a nfc sim card (v/t 7). You can call the support or go to a shop and get a new card.
Hmmm, interesting.....
My employer just changed from KPN (Dutch provider) to T-mobile.
Running it for 1 day now, and until now no problem.
But i could see that the sim looked different to the KPN sim and also different then my private Vodafone sim.
My employer will hope that this won't happen, because we have a lot of persons with dual-sim phones
Well, it occurs after about 6 weeks so the odds aren't that good.
curiously enough it occurred for me after 5 or 6 days. Before with the g2 mostly in like 1 day. I will go there today and ask them for the nfc sim. do i have to say something specific or just ask for it? Should i say i have a specific phone (op 2 perhaps) ?

so i was at the telekom shop today... one of the most frustrating conversations ever. They wouldnt give me a new sim card, cuz mine died and they couldnt send me a verification sms code to it... unbelievable, they called than the central so that they will send me one per mail... tried to explain them what th eproblem is, but it was like they never heard of the nfc-sim card or the different versions (e.g. c/w7 or v/t7), said it would be my luck if i would get a v/t7 version, cuz they cant know which one they send... i even showed them the thread on their forums... oh well lets get the new one burn it again and this time call myself telekom from home, try to get a more technically versed person at the other end...
The NFC Card is needed to pay with My wallet and things like that. Actually they should know about that. There is a thread where you can ask for a new one but now the problem is you already ordered one so they can't do anything before it arrives. If you want the link write a PM. I know it's really a pain in the *** and for me it was even worse because it was a company card.
Can I take the SIM card out of my current Note4 and put it into my Note8? My Note4 and SIM card are just about 3 years old. Is there any lost functionality by not getting a new SIM card or should I just go to a Verizon store and get a newer SIM card? Any advantages or disadvantages to either approach (current SIM card versus new SIM card) like an activation fee or anything like that?
Thanks!
The SIM card is a nano compared to the older micro in your awesome Note4, I had one too before the Note8
You can cut the SIM card to size but there is a chance you can cut it incorrectly and have issues, also a cut SIM card is not covered when you bring it into a store.
Your best bet is go get a new nano SIM at your provider.
I cut my SIM and I am not experiencing any issues but I do want to get a new one soon.
Ok, I figured there was likely a change in something over the last 3 years. Do you know if they will charge me the ridiculous activation fee ($35, i think?)?

It has been suggested by all carriers that new SIMs be used because there have been several issues with previously used SIMs and provision functionality...in other words, there is better connections and access to carrier functions when using new SIMs...most are free from your carrier...I tested my s7e SIM and a new SIM and while they are both from my carrier, only the new SIM provisioned WiFi calling correctly and there was a considerable change in data speeds...just an idea though...

Thanks. That makes sense. I understand that the SIM is likely free. But, does anyone think Verizon will charge me the activation fee to put provision my Note8 on my account to replace my current Note4?
Thanks again!
One more question... Do i need the SIM card installed in the phone to actually go through the phone setup? I'm guessing not, but wasn't sure if it had to go through the setup all over again once the SIM finally is installed. I should get the phone today but probably won't get to a Verizon store to get a new SIM until a day or 2 from now. Thanks.

In most cases you shouldn't, and don't require a SIM card to get through the setup wizard, however I'm not sure if the process is different for US carriers so don't take my word for it.
Popping a SIM card in the phone after setup is complete also shouldn't be a problem.

I just did this yesterday went from the Note 4 to the Note 8 and Verizon gave me the sim for free. The only thing is they had to activate it while in the store so bring you Note 8 with you if you have already bought it. They didn't charge me anything however if you are upgrading through them (getting the Note 8 while there) they may.

This is perfect! I just got my Note8 in the mail today. (came a day earlier than expected)! I'll take it with me over to the Verizon store and hopefully I have the same experience as you did. Thanks!
Can anyone help I have bought an s21 ultra off very and it's rhe above model but only has a single sided sim? In the mobile phone part it shows sim one and two and e sim
It's definately a UK model - as it shows on the box
I wanted a dual sim and that's why I bought it is it an error in manufacturing or is it something new?
I am sure very buys from UK sources so I dont know what on earth is the issue
Any ideas or what I can do? Do I find a Samsung experience store and take it there?
Thanks
The simcard tray supports two sims on your model, a SIM on each side.
The SIM contacts should face you.

Well that's rhe issue the rear of the sim tray isn't the same as rhe other side.... It is not a sim holder
It's a genuine handset with genuine serial as I can register the warranty with Samsung UK
It's also UK model from the box
So I've no idea what's gone wrong I've ordered a new sim tray. Which should work and escalated it to very as to what the issue is
Huh, interesting.
The trays I'm used to seeing do not look like that - this is what it should look like:
Single SIM model trays don't look like yours either.
Odd!
Check the Knox status in Download mode for peace of mind.
Perhaps this is a refurb with a third party tray(?)
Also, dial: ##786# click "View" and see what it outputs for "Reconditioned".

The phone shows official in the Information about the phone and the code ##786# Doesn't seem to want to work
I've checked via phone info app and it shows original not refurbished so I'm now even more confused
Mine is a direct from Samsung UK 998B/DS with the above dual sim card holder.
Looks like you somehow got the tray for the US version, or you have a US variant with mis-matched firmware if that's even possible. Might try and find a dual sim, or just use eSim on your primary.
Pictures below from my US snapdragon variant.
