Dual Sim

Anyone is using a dual sim with the Diamond? I have seem a couple of dual sim cards that it´s supose to work in Diamond but I am not really sure... anybody knows a model which works right on Htc Diamond?

Hi. I've been using a dual sim on my previous WM phones with no problem. Will try it on Diamond in a few days when I get back home, and will let you know. If you don't hear anything by Wednesday - Thursday, pls PM to remind me.
I have also used a very nice prog for changing swaping between the 2 cards on the Today screen, but I guess that if you use the HTC today, will not be able to use that one, and you would have to go through Start\Programs.

Hi, I'm using SIMore Black 1 in my Diamond. It's working well, but do not expect use 3G or HSDPA.
SIMore is compatible with 3G phone, but doesn't work if you use 3G, you only can access to GSM band...
I contact the support, and they let me know that I've been screwed... They do not garanty 3G use...

I have an analog dual sim adapter inside my o2 xda diamond and it works perfectly. My girlfriend has the same one in an htc diamond and it's working there too. Never had any problems with it. HSDPA/HSUPA working just fine. I believe it's a MagicSim 1st generation adapter.

It doesn't work with any of the cards or with just one?

Ok thanks I'm gonna look for this on google.
@Smaniac : it doesn't work on any SIM. In fact, if I let the settings in Phone\Band on auto, no way to get network on both sims. The only way to get it work is to set it on GSM, and then no 3G or HSDPA...
EDIT : I'm in France, using Orange and SFR Sims.

Thanks all
christis, ok I will wait for your answer
chineseseleper, can you check and tell us exactly the model? I have read in other forums people who say that MagicSim doesn´t work in Diamond. The MagicSim you can find at this moment I think is 20th

Are you using the new 6.0 version or an earlier version of the SIMore Black 1 ?

I have been looking at this one and if you go on you tube there is a video for it to.
Anybody using it or know of it?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330256836230&_trksid=p3907.m32&_trkparms=tab%3DWatching

this is interesting! dual-sim-cards!
so how does this work, I checked out the magicsim website, it's not really clear there..
so, is it possible to recieve calls from 2 different sim cards without switching around?

all new apdapter don't work. you need the oldest ones, the analog ones. they don't interfere with the sim card. i don't know where to check which model i have, but i believe its 1st gen.

Sorry for being late in replying. I messed up my main sim during cutting, and although it works on it's recovery adaptor, it doesn't work on the dual sim. it is 100% sim problem. Otherwise, the dual sim adaptor (2nd generation) worked perfectly in my previous WM phone (asus P526).
I will try to change my main card and check the diamond, with the software I mentioned before, on the today screen (the one that the card installs in Start\Programs, shouldn't have any problem.

Anyone got any new info so as if v6.0 of SIMore Black works with 3g/HSDPA???

I don't know if it can be of any help http://es.youtube.com/results?search_query=htc+diamond+simore&search_type=&aq=f

All I've seen so far is that dual sim works on 3G phones, but I've never seen the 3G band in action. Every demo is GPRS/EDGE only.
So the question still stands, does the dual sim adaptors give me access to the 3G band?

Dual Sim (HSDPA Data Compatible) ?

Hello,
I am looking for a dual sim adapter that I can use with my 3UK sim for HSDPA/3G data access and my Vodafone sim for texts and voice calls.
I do not mind cutting up my SIMs or having to restart my phone to switch between sims. I have heard that the "Simore Gold 1" sim works, but 70€ is too far out of my price range!
If anyone has any recommendations or experiences with dual sim adapters on the Diamond, that would be great
Many Thanks,
T

Do you have this card working? How do you change SIMs within the Phone application on Win Mobile 6.1?

That is a SIM cloner, which works only (I believe) with v1 sim cards (I have one myself). These went out of usage many years ago. There is no way to clone modern cards yet reported in the wild. Worse using SIM cloning software on a modern sim card may break your sim.
I don't have the information to hand, but it is out there. These SIM cloning kits are not a solution for modern, data enabled, SIM cards.
I've been closely following dual sim options since the release of tytn. I've bought many, and not had any work to my satisfaction. The only option that I have heard positively reported, for phone and data, is the simore gold.

I wouldn't! )
Just offering my humble opinion. I looked into the possibility of sim cloning some months ago as I have two sim cards and it would have been nice to be able to use both of them without going through the hassle of rebooting every time you want to switch.
I searched and searched for hours and found plenty of information (on XDA and other websites) and although I don't remember all of the technical details, it isn't possible at the moment unless you want to risk breaking your sim card (which sounds very likely from what I read).
I'm not sure what sim cards are used in India. I do know that the v1 sim cards can be cloned but (as mentioned in the previous post) they are pretty much out of use and have been for some time, so I would think that it is unlikely that you have a v1 sim card.
You can check out the articles here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_cloning and here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sim_card.
The first article says at the top of the page that it needs some clarification but it does discuss the sim cloning scene in The Bourne Supremacy (referring to an earlier post in this thread) and how long it would have actually taken if it were possible; 4-8 hours to extract the Ki and some knowledge needed of the SIM card's PIN (CHV1). (Citation needed for italicized text.)
It also mentions a 40% chance of damaging the card. Sorry, but those odds are a little too high for me!
The second article is a bit long and technical but might be helpful to you. (I started to get a headache about halfway through it! ROFL)

I'm seriously considering the Simore Black 1 (v6). Can anyone confirm that 3G/HSDPA data and "3UK" sims work with this adapter?
Thanks

Wow, that's really expensive! Have you looked at this? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dual-Twin-Sim-card-Holder-Adapter-Interface-Ghost-UK_W0QQitemZ280289223146QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_MobilePhones_MobilePhoneAccessories_MobilePhoneBatteries?hash=item280289223146&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1300|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318
I know I'm a newbie and might have gotten it wrong but the description says that it will take two sim cards and is 3G supported. You also don't have to switch your phone off in order to change sims.
DOH! Just checked your post again. This one is NOT supported on the 3 network. I'll go ahead and post this anyway just in case someone is looking for a dual sim card and doesn't need 3 network support.

I appreciate the help

When looking at these type of devices you need to consider very carefully what you consider "compatible".
Advertisers may consider the ability to make 2G phone calls as compatible. These devices may not allow 3G calls, or data.
I'm toying with a simore gold, because it will be worth it if it works with 3G and data. I'd like some more anecdotal evidence that it does before I commit, at that price, though.
I'm done with buying cheap dual sim adaptors. I've got a desk draw full of them that are unsuitable for my needs.

Ah, I see. Point taken. It's probably best to avoid a newbie's advice! LOL I haven't actually used one in a while but will definitely consider carefully before I buy another one.

Hi all! Just a contribution from me: I bought from ebay a Magic Sim 20th dual sim. In other phones works but in Htc Diamond only sim1 is recognised.....Does the analog ones really works? And if so, where do i buy it? Thanks!

I'll be waiting too for those who had an experience of using a working dual sim adapter on their diamond. I hope those who tried simore gold will share their comments.

HTC Diamond (Chinese)

Okay so i bought a Chinese HTC Diamond in China.
It looks exactly like the original one and the only difference is that it doesnt have WIFI and some other features like the camera has worse quality (2mp).
I tried using my T-Mobile (USA) Sim Card but the phone isn't connecting to the network. This phone is Triband (900/1800/1900) and works in GSM, GPRS and EDGE networks.
It is technically "unlocked" but i'm not really sure.
Anyone know what could be the problem?
Should I update the ROM to quadband to solve this?
Thank you in advance!

r u sure that one is not a fake diamond?

It is a fake diamond.... but a high quality copy, it works exactly like the original one. It was really cheap compared to it's features.
I'm just asking how can i make it work in the USA? It is triband and it should work with my tmobile sim card.

Usually what the spec says does not mean it actually has them, often total BS.
Don't expect too much, get a real diamond.

Yeah okay, if you're all gonna say that you're not helping me.
What it's done, it's done.
I can't afford a real diamond so i got this one really cheap and its actually a really good phone. And i checked the radio and it says "GSM 900/1800" and "PCS1900" so it has to be minimum dual-band, and i believe T-Mobile should work with it.
So if anyone knows about any update for this phone that could get it to work, please tell me. For now i will just check if it works with AT&T sim card or other carriers.
Thanks.

I don't thinks update with some ROM is possible It's not a Diamond but a simil-Diamond!!!

I can always try, if i unlocked the 850 gsm band it would work with in the US.
The problem could be that it is only dual band (Europe) instead of triband?
So ill just call tmobile today and see what happens.

what a fake...
Well, I'm a Chinese,and I'm using a HTC Touch Diamond.I'm sure that you've got a fake one,which is well known to our Chinese as a name of Shanzhai(zh sounds like dr),the name means it is made in small or OEM factory,but usually, Shanzhai cell has a lot of function(such as extraordinary standby ability etc.)

Lot of Functions and stability but Diamond's ROMs and Radios aren't compatible ^^ so thazeid don't solve his problems with Diamond SW

Any problems fitting the dual Sim into the HD2?
I would prefer the option of using the full size SIM cards in an adaptor if possible instead of cutting them down

No for me no problems.
This adapter can also UMTS.
GSM adapter is also available, where you must not cut the SIM.
I hope my bad English is understandable ...

Anyone know if this will work with any of the Irish networks? I tried a similar card a few months ago on Meteor and 3 Ireland but none of my Irish Sims worked but all my Dutch ones did though (Vodafone,T-Mobile)

the only issue with Hypercard 3G, is that u need to cutdown ur SIM

how does it work?
Hello,
can someone explain to me how this works?
can I get calls on both numbers?
witch of the two is the active one and the one I call from?
Or is it a soft switch so that I can only use one sim at the time?
Sorry for the questions but I could not find the answers...

I used Simore for a previous phone. I will NEVER buy anything from them again. The adapter didn't work and when their tech support ran out of ideas (and when I asked for a refund) they just ignored me after that.

euro galaxy working in japan?

hi,
will my euro galaxy s work in japan (where I am going on vacation)?
Thanks,
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

It will work (roaming) but it probably will not work with a japanese sim card
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Like zombrex said.
It will work, but I had problems calling and receiving calls from japanese cell phones. Apart from that everything worked for me.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

3rd confirmation. I could use roaming in Japan. The European model is identical to the international model.

Just got back from holidaying in Japan. I can confirm that the Galaxy was fine there although I didnt make any calls (expensive!), mostly used data services to retrieve and send emails using UK sim card. Used wi-fi points and skype/tango where possible.

Thank you guys for the info, I'm glad my beloved galaxy will work in
Japan.
Are prepaid data or/and voice sim cards available in .jp to avoid
horrendous roaming charges?
What is the wifi hotspot situation in hotels and cities in general? Are
they mostly free?

I think there are no prepaid cards in japan like you know them.
Can't remember using free wifi hotspots except in the hotel. But once there was a free hotspot in a club. That was the only one i found^^

Hi !
I have the same kind of question.
I will go in Japan for 1 year, and as I saw that they sell Galaxy S in Japan, I was wondering if I could use my Galaxy S with a Japanese Sim card.
Do I need a Japanese rom ? Or any configuration ?
Thanks

Up !
No one can help me ?

If your phone is unlocked you'll be able to use a japanese sim

it wordks,japan user the different sim card size(smaller),you can buy the sim card cover to fix it.

Thank you DrFredPhD and eim886 !
The Rom doesn't matter ?

I looked for a sim card cover, but I only found a sim card adapter for micro-sim.
Where could I find a sim card adapter to use a japanese sim card on my phone ?
EDIT :
I found there is only 3 sizes for sim card : standard, mini-sim, and micro-sim.
But which one is used in Japan ?

hey trynium, did you find an answer to your question?
I have a North American version (Canada Bell) i9000 and really don't want to buy a new phone when I have a perfectly good one right here. Would the sim adapter work? Which network did you use and how did you go about it?
I was wondering if the North American version phone can run on Japan's network... if anybody out there could help, it'd be much appreciated

I went in Japan later than I expected.
I took a prepaid phone, so I could not really test with my SGS (no internet connection, lot of restrictions... for prepaid phone).
But the good point was that the sim card was a standard one. So sim adapter seems useless in this case.
The harder in Japan, is to buy a sim card without a phone. From what I know, there is not much problem than that !
By the way, sorry for the (very) late answer...
