I have a dual sim adapter fitted in my i-mate, to have my cake and eat it as it were, having loads of free minutes on a contract sim, and free texts on a pay as you go sim.
What I have been searching for unsuccessfully is a piece of software which will let me select the sim I want to use, rather than turning the phone (Flight mode) on and off. Has anyone come across such a piece of software? Is the i-mate already capable of this feature?
Thanks for your assistance.
Where did you found that dual sim adapter, I still need one.
try this one...

I bought that King of Double from SaintJoy, but it doesn't fit! Has anyone have a solution?
They do fit but i agree there could be a better solution , the little ribbon cable you get could be alot longer.
Anyway to fit it, you have to release the sim card lock thing then carefully pull the plastic clip off the hinges that it fits to.
Then slide the double card adapter in with the ribbon cable pointing to the bottom.
now flip the cable back over the side of the clip and replace the plastic sim clip back onto its hinges.
lock the sim down with the slide lock.
Replace the battery but make sure the ribbon cable goes over the side of the battery, so that it fits on top of the battery while in use (i tried it underneath the battery and it hard reset my PDA, evey time you pressed slightly on the battery.)
now the top case plastic will be hard to get on now , but it does go down (with a struggle)
I can post pics if you need
P.S. to swap sims when the PDA is on, just select "Flight Mode on" then "Flight Mode off" again.
There is a thread http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=48824&hl=dual+sim you can refer to for more info.
The shop that sells the dual sim holder is at:

This is what you need. My little brothers using one in his i-mate JAM. You will have to cut the SIM cards up to get it to fit but it works fine. It takes about 3-4 seconds to swtich over each SIM. Probably the easiest way. They should be available in just over a week.

16 SIM in one SIM
*i use this in my Himalaya and Blue Angel.
i can switch the numbers/carier when i need with STK.
Plese see the link(japanese site so just see the photo)
http://asukal.seesaa.net/article/845414.html
this is useing sirial port to copy your sim to PC, then copy to SuperSIM.
it takes 6 hours or something for one sim copy. only SIM V,1 can copy.
*also tested 6 sim in one with usb as follow
http://asukal.seesaa.net/article/2361582.html
only takes 40min for one SIM. also v1 sim is able.V2 sim cant(V2=large rom sim, 3G/2.5G or CDMA somelike high function)
*cut 2 sims rom and past on to one sim kit

Re: Supersim 16 in 1
I use supersim too. It works fine. I have 8 number on it.
But I think you are not right! I can use 3G with V1 sim cards too!
I created a software for myself, so I can switch between the numbers using the hardware buttons.
Supersim is the best solution to use more number in a phone. But our country is not easy to get older sims (V1) - becouse I can only clone this cards or write to supersim.
ya, i knew some 3G can copy into Super sim, but all of them are not able to be done, some of the Carriers of 3G seems protect to copy,
Also some kinds of SIM will be broken if try to copy, so i had better say 3G is not copied. it safty for friends.
thanks.
Re: Supersim 16 in 1
I use a 3G network with my supersim. There is no problem with it.
I don't understand what does "copy 3G into Supersim" meen. Becouse I cloned my sim card to Supesim and I ordered the 3G from my network provider and it worked. Do you use the 3G? Or doesn't work it with your supersim?
yes i use hk csl 3G in my superSim. ok i should use another words. some of them can copy to super-s,some of them cant. not all of 3G cant. many japnese friends of mine tested with Thailand Sim,philipine sim, japan sim,Hk sim,china sim, vietnam sim, singarepole sim, some of them can use in supersim,some of them cant. depend on the cariers,or version of sim. or size of sim,and many of 3G sim cant. also big size memory sim cant,cdma either,edge either,japan vodafone either,ais either,all of philippines cariers sim either,generaly speaking,high version sim cant,lower version is can. just generaly, because i never tested sims all over the world.this is what i want say. hope u can understand what i want to say.
Re: Supersim 16 in 1
Ok. Ok. I understand! Thanks for the information!
Where can we buy the Supersim ?
it was from Taiwan company, but produced in china.
i only know it was sold in HongKon, Taiwan, China. but no idea in Europe,
Mr,freelovsky may know about it
i am also selling this, but i think the freight to europe is very costy. you had better find it in Europe.
I am using the King of DoubleCard dual sim adapter for more than a year now.
I fits a bit tight, but you dont have to cut sims!
Just recently I joined the Sim Status Switcher by www.wivit.com beta test program.
THIS is the software one needs for switching SIMs and always being able to see what SIM is active: It shows (apart for operator) the phone number too (so you can identify the active sim when roaming too) via a today plugin.
It has quite some options (see demo slides on the site).
Although it is still in beta, no real bugs are there. Hopefully it will be officially released soon.

Just unboxed my TP2 (photos are in <here>, in case you're interested).
I decided that I'll skip this whole new simcard activation nonsense.. Now, whether they will disable my old simcard or not - I don't know. If they will, I will activate my new simcard then.
So, the problem is that AT&T is trying to be "cute" with us - they glued a piece of plastic on top of the simcard and somehow disabled the simcard locking mechanism from unlocking the simcard.
Meh, nothing a Victorinox pocket knife can't fix.
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I'm not responsible for anything, YOU ARE.
Here is how to remove it and stick an old simcard in:

What is AT&T's motivation for doing this? Is the phone perhaps arriving from HTC unlocked?
Why would AT&T want to go through the needless, employee-centric hassle of activating a new sim card, when I could simply stick my old one in it?

No idea.. My old simcard works perfectly fine.. and it's actually about 4 years old (2 contracts).. I'm keepin' my $19/mo unlim data for as long as I can.
why are you using a knife to remove the sim card? you can easily remove the card by following the directions on the huge picture bext to the sim card by using the stylus to slide out the sim card.

You mean the picture under the battery?
It doesn't slide out like that.. Did it work for you on Tilt2?
Dunno about the tape, but it is pretty hard to get the SIM out of the Q9h.
(nope, it does not have the unlock mechanism either) I just press down on the actual SIM & slide it out as much as I can with friction and then insert my nails into the slots on the side of the SIM and pull it out..
Pretty much standard procedure on most phones - the unlock mechanism, etc cost $$ and have been taken out on a lot of phones - welcome to cheapo manufacturing..
Still waiting anxiously for my Tilt2 - will report how this works there..

Yes, I am referring to the picture under the battery.
There is a little hole above the SIM card that you poke your stylus into and use that to push out the SIM card. Works fine on the Touch Pro2 Verizon, there is no difficulty in that method at all.

Didn't want to use my stylus. Used this:
Came out very easily..
Note: the tip is blunted/bent.. Do that to avoid inadvertent scratches
Yeah my sim card came out easily using the little hole for the stylus.
I guess AT&T just wanted to cover that "ugly" piece of metal lol.
If the SIM card is taped down and extra difficult to remove, then maybe that is how they are enforcing the new data plan requirements.
As has been pointed out though, I have the unlocked Touch Pro 2 and I have to use the stylus to remove the SIM card. No tape holding it down though, that's pretty weird.
Just use the hole above the SIM card slot. Took me a little to figure it out because I was so used to sliding the card out the normal way.
i personally was never told to activate my phone. the day i got it i called the business line and they said i could use the new sim or the old one and keep the new one as a backup(which i did). and i don't think they tried to make them hard to remove because it's the same for the gsm tp2. you have to use the stylus.
Got mine this morning, and it had no tape and no little lock tab. Popped it out exactly like the instructions showed, and slid in the old one. Worked beautifully.
LOL yeah you just poke your stylus in the little hole and "push" it out. No need for surgery...
There was a thread (I can't seem to find it) from a bunch of Mobilicity subscribers that complain about this phone taking a very long time (5+ minutes) to register on Mobilicity's network after a reboot. I think I've come across with a solution. Go to a (different) store and pick up a new SIM card. Tell them the old SIM is defective.
Using my previous SIM it takes me a good 5+ minutes to register onto Mobi's network even if everything is set correctly, after I got my new SIM and tried it numerous times now, issue seems to be fixed. I haven't changed anything on my phone so I strongly suspect it's the new SIM that did the trick. It now takes around 10 seconds to find the network. Not as fast as registering to Rogers's network using a Rogers SIM (which is almost instant) but much better performance now.
YMMV but give it a try!
EDIT:
Remember, in phone settings set "WCDMA only" and dial *#*#2263#*#* to set "WCDMA 1700 preferred".
that's a good suggestion
i recall a similar scenario on my old Nexus S and using older SIMs will sometime has problems, then i got a new SIM, and all the issues went away.,
Do you think it's possible that this happens on Telus' network as well? It takes me a good 5 minutes after any reboot to get service. I've got my SIM card from my Motorola Milestone (December 2010) so I'm not sure if the SIM card is old or not.

No except for the lining pattern on the chip is different (not sure if that means anything).
And also I know it's definitely a different batch of SIM because the numbers pre-programmed in the SIM are different. Go to "SIMTookit" you'll see what's programmed in there.
The previous batch has "*TAXI" which the newer batch doesn't.

My Telus SIM card doesn't have that, but I feel like it is affected just like your SIM Card, in terms of when I reboot, I have no service for a good 2-3 minutes..

NEW SIM
Does anyone have a better solution? It takes me 2min and 30sec to find mobi's signal. I would like to get it down to less than a min.
Worked like a CHARM! Many thanks for this simple yet effective fix. Now I've just got to find a Rom/Kernel/Radio combo to have my S2X get reception as well as my Mobi BB 9360.
Rom: CM9.1.0
Kernel: Default
Radio: TLLE4
I haven't seen anyone mention it on XDA or anywhere else online, so I thought I'd put it out there for people picking up Ions used or as AT&T free phones. Most sites tell you to cut your standard SIM down to Micro, but there's an easier and less risky option, though you still might want to make a small mod to your old SIM. The Ion uses a small tray to hold the Micro-SIM, and that tray just happens to be near the exact dimensions of a standard sized SIM:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The tray is a little thicker, but otherwise it's basically a Micro-SIM to SIM adapter (which negates any benefit of using Micro-SIM in the first place...no space is saved). I went ahead and took a chance and just slid my standard sized SIM down into the slot where the tray would go, after establishing with reasonable confidence that the contacts should line up--it was just a question of whether the SIM's thickness would fit securely enough to stay in good contact. And yes, it did. Once I got the card about halfway in, the slot gripped it firmly--there must be some sort of retractable mechanism in there putting pressure on whatever you insert.
One problem I recognized but decided not to worry about at the time is how to get the SIM out of there again. Only one little corner protrudes, so I'll be trying desperately to slide it out with a pencil eraser or something if I ever have to remove it. The simple solution would be to drill a small hole or make a notch in that corner of the card, which wouldn't compromise the card's functionality in any phone but would give you somewhere to grip.
or u can use tweezers to remove it.

Maybe, but I'm not too sure if you could get a grip even with tweezers. It's really a tiny corner that sticks out, and flush against the back of the slot.
I had the same problem when I got my ion and yes you can remove it with tweezers.

IMHO, micro and nanosims are unnecessary. The space saved is minimal as to justify the different format. Like when they sold us non standard chargers and non standard hands free (oh, and non standard "data cables) remember?

It's maybe useful if you actually save the space, but in the Ion the unnecessary tray actually takes up slightly more space than a standard SIM. I can only guess that AT&T insisted on that format out of their usual twisted marketing philosophy that if you just introduce enough artificial constraints, the consumer will pay you more to f*** them more gently.
Hi Guys,
I broke my SIM Tray the other day :crying: I live in Indian and looking for a Mi Max Golden color Sim Tray. Have already ordered on Ali Exp. however it takes really long to get an item from Ali to India, almost a month.
I have visited all the service centers in the city I live in and a couple of other citites nearby however no luck, unable to find it on eBay or any other online retailer I know of in India.
If anyone has any suggesitons please do let me know, if you know any site from where I can get it faster then Ali or any offline mode I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.
No other option apart from waiting, Not available in India. Just curious How did your Sim tray broke?

Tried Dual Sim and Memory card Mod. Worked on Vodafone and Airtel setup so next tried Jio and Vodafone, was too eager and didn't check the size of Sim and Memory card and inserted it with pressure. Bingo! Sim Tray stuk and had to take it to service center to get removed.
But the Mod works so will try again.

I saw many videos on youtube and I have already separated the plastic from the sim tray but can you please help me with the mod by answering some questions.
1. Did you remove any glue from the back of the sim?
2. Did you grind the microsd card?
3. How did you paste the sim to the microsd?
Thanks
If the sim has a lot of glue, like a bump, you have to remove it. It slides hard enough with the sim chip clear. On some sims, after you heat them under a flame, they come off clear, on others with that big glue bump.

After that used a switch blade to slightly remove the golden pins of the sim again dipped the sim in thinner so that it enter the golden pin part of the sim and with in a min bingo the golden pins removed from sim and its still usable.
Used Vernier caliper to checking the sim+micro sd card size.
Brushed the SD card slightly and brushed the golden pin of sim till it was slightly showing copper color. the size is appx 1.14 mm (Checked with Vernier caliper.

I had no problem doing this mod on the Redmi Note 3 because the sim tray is deep. The Mi Max tray is a lot thinner so it's easy to get the SIM card jammed against the pins. I haven't tried this mod because I don't want to take the phone apart...

U need to open the phone or take it to a service centre if u can't do it. If the SIM tray is stuck u can't get it out urself directly and u might damage the golden contact pins instead inside the phone.

Looking for possible work arounds no way I'm buying a $1700. phone with Dual and eSIM disabled.
Done carrying around 2 phones
Wouldn't buying an international version be a solid option or would the US carriers still not support or disable the option ?
Galaxy Z Fold 3 has two physical SIM slots and an eSIM (but not in the US)
https://www.sammobile.com/news/galaxy-z-fold-3-two-sim-slots-and-esim/

yeha I am totally bummed out again. I have a S21 thinking I was able to use eSIM in the US...still nothing. Now that I am getting the Fold 3... it's going to be same.
Samscum. Go ahead blame the carriers. I dare you, I double dare you.
Wondering whether we can flash EU or south american ROM on our us U our U1 model, as all fold 3 models come with snapdragon processor now? This is how I was able to get esim on US unlocked Note20 ultra U1 by flashing T-Mobile ROM.

I mean, I'm not disagreeing that Sammy is not partly to blame here, but T-Mobile did make the call to unlock esim on the Note 20 even after samsung refused to give esim to even unlocked models. So I do think carriers have some say in the matter as well.
I ordered the T-mobile version of the device through Samsung........assuming it will come with T-mobile SIM card, what do I do to activate, just put in the SIM and go online to T-mobile to activate the device?
I hate NA! I wish we have eSIM. I really do need two lines on my primary
I noticed there are sim pins on top and bottom when I was inserting my sim. The tray is single, but looks like it has the hardware for 2 sims.
So which one do you use?
Hello. It it known if there are any NA carriers that support eSim for Fold3 owners?

Why does it say “SIM 1” if there is only one SIM. My guess is that there is an esim but de-activated that is why the physical sim is named that way.
also on the back of the sim tray , looks like another sim card can fit. I am yet to get my fold3, but anyone with fold3 can see if a sim card sits on the back of the tray as well (PLEASE DONT INSERT IT IN THE PHONE )

Look inside the sim tray opening with a light, you see gold contacts for sim card on top and bottom. Assuming or sim 1 and 2

so theoretically if we get a UK version sim tray , it should be easier to try and see if the dual nano sim work.
and then the question is can we flash the UK/EUROPEAN FIRMWARe to the US phone given that the hardwares are exactly the same (other than the LTE, BANDS ACCESS MODULE)
