Can the BA handle 2 phone numbers?

I WAS informed, by a phone dealer, that the BA COULD handle 2 phone numbers.
Orange deny that it can - who's right?
If it CAN'T is there a XDA which can?
TIA
Peter

I don't think 2 phone numbers from 2 sims simultaneously.
But orange have line2 functionality; I'm not sure how to switch, but if a Nokia can use it, I'm sure a PPC can.
Otherwise you have to use a dual sim and switch between them as needed.

hi guys,
use mafic sim for the same...
u can load upt 16 mobile numberes on it which u can use...
pm me if anyone wanna buy...
i have only 1 new piece in stock...

Magic sims don't work in the UK (and western Europe generally I guess) since we use a more modern encryption system on the SIMS that can't be cracked reliably. If you want a dual sim, use one that hangs outside the phone, or use one that requires you to cut up the sim. I've got one of the latter.

Vijay, can you tell me where you got yours please?

magic sim's work wonderful in india!
hi, the magic sims work wonderfully in INDIA but!
So all around enjoy!

I got a dual SIM adapter from eBay.co.uk. Search for "xda dual SIM" & you should see some for sale. I use the "King of double card" adapter & I paid about £10 (inc P&P). You simply switch the phone off & on to switch SIMS (i.e. use flight mode on, then off). I also splashed out £15 for a bit of software that does this ofr me including entering PIN numbers and displaying currently active number inthe today screen

[Q] Dual Sim Adapters?

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows of any dual sim adapters that work with the HTC Wildfire? Tried googling but the sites that come up only list adapters but do not seem to promise that these adapters work with this phone.
Have a personal number and a work number that are separate and it would be handy to just carry around one phone.
Thanks

Dual Sim for wildfire
You got me interested in this and my search came up with this company that says it does work with the wildfire
cant post the link because of forum restrictions, but if you google the company at simore.ch you will be able to find it from there. It says the platinum and platinum plus are compatible.
They seem really good and have videos showing how to do every step. The only thing that worries me is having to cut up the sim cards which I hear is normal for a dual sim adapters.

I just got a 26th gen cutting Magic Sim dual sim for my HTC Desire from a seller on ebay (he was the cheapest seller by a mile) i've also tried it in my girlfriends Wildfire and it worked a treat!
If you want info on the seller i got it off just PM me as i doubt i'd be allowed to post it on here.
Cheers

yeah, love to have one too

i advice you to do not do that becuas it use so much of the battery near 3x

when you have the duel sim in it.. can you be could by both numbers. or do you have to switch firts to be reached at one of the numbers..
Because i'm loocking for somthing that i can be reachable at two number at the same time..
sorry of my englisch.

Its extremely unlikely that both will be reachable at the same time by using those adapters, although I havent seen / used them personally.
If you want a dual standby phone, get a proper Dual SIM phone.

Dual Sim
Here in the philippines its normal to have dual sim phones, also we do have tripple sims because we have 3 different network provider....
But i dont suggest to have dual sim on HTC
1 it destroys the quality
2 it voids warranty
3 it suck to put dual sim on HTC phones. it lowers the value

Any update on how this worked out for you?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

does it work

I've got the new MagicSIM 28th gen PLUS for this phone model and its working flawlessly!
I got it from directdevices on ebay.
Hope this helps!

Does anybody have pictures of how this look in the Galaxy S?
So I can use two different sims while traveling to another country?

I've got a 28th gen plus no-cut working in mine. I'll get some pics and post a link later when I get home

I bought one a few months ago and ran a ATT and a TMO sim in my Captivate for a while. It worked perfectly. It just wasn't a neat nor as handy as I had thought it would be so I stopped using it.

Thats not a picture of the back of a Galaxy S... unless its the S II with the 8 MP camera? The Galaxy S I9000 has the sim slot going vertically... the cut corner of the sim being next to the battery, that picture posted shows the sim socket mounted horizontally. I don't see how the ribbon cable would fit as it would hang out of the side of the phone on a galaxy S.

Ah yes sorry it's the galaxy s2.
Although for the record I have tried this in a standard galaxy s and it does also fit that!
Hope this helps

What was the score with this? Where did people find was the best place to buy from?

whats a dual sim adapter and why?

A dual similar adapter allows you to run two different sim cards in the same phone. I used mine to run a tmo sim and an att sim in my captivate galaxy s. It worked well, the drawback was the captivate couldn't run on T-Mobiles fast data frequencies. I finally stopped using it but they do work as advertised.

Got mine from www.magic-sim.com and I've had no problems with it.
Cheers
Dave

does this allow you to run 2 simcards simultaniously or do you have to switch providers depending on your needs? If I have a tmo and att simcard both in the phone, will I receive calls from both numbers or only one at a time depending on which simcard I select?
I know this might be an extreamly noobish question but I have never used one of these or owned a dual sim phone

No it's for sim switching. You can however get it to switch sims at a timed interval to make sure you pick up any missed calls or text (although personally I just switch over sims every hour or so and check)

Anybody succesfully used the Simore dual Sim adapter with the S2?

Hi folks,
I have extensively searched for this topic, and the only one that pops up for me is over on the phandroid S2 forums, and both threads claim it hasn't worked, despite videos on youtube showing that the Simore adapter does work with the S2.
So I am wondering if any of you guys have it working?
Thanks!

Don't know about the Simore, but the MagicSIM 28th cut works like a charm! What is the version/type of your Simore adapter?

I do not have one yet, but according to Simore, their Platinum series will work.
Do you have the MagicSIM 28th? Does it install the Sim App on your phone that allows for the sim switching?
Thank you for your input!

MagicSIM 28th has built i menue,and allows switching ot sim 1 to 2, 2 to 1 etc

Thanks Nyssa! Have you used it? I am reluctant on this because I haven't found any reviews or people in forums saying any of the dual sim adapters work with the S2, other than the in-house Simore video on youtube. And then I read some posts from Blackberry users saying Simore has the worst customer service, claiming that it would work with the Blackberry 9000, when the adapter doesn't even fit, leading to sim card breakage, etc.
So I just want to be careful, since the adapters are not cheap.

The Magicsim switching works through the standard Sim Tool Kit menu. You can switch from 1 to 2 and from 2 to 1.
Adapter works great, only "problem" is with the auto APN settings (for 3G/HSDPA connection). Android doesn't auto-config the APN settings (or at least it takes a looooong time).
What I do:
1. Turn off mobile data
2. Switch sims through STK menu
3. Turn on airplane mode
4. Turn on mobile data
5. Turn off airplane mode
When I do this, the phone automatically configures the APN settings and the mobile data connection works like a charm!

Hi,
Has anyone tried the non cut version on a Galaxy S2 ?
Thanks !

sorry but what is the diference between the cut and non cut version?

I'm interested in this too.
Sent from my s2 using XDA Premium App

I'll second the magicsim 28th gen for this!
I'd probably avoid the eurosim guy tho as i've have had a bad experience with him and if you search his website on here there's been a lot of bad talk about items not showing up etc
I'd go with ebay. I've bought several of these from the "directdevices" on ebay without any problems
Hope this helps.

I assume http://www.magicsim.com/ is what your all referring to?
This would be great for me as i have 2 phones, the GS2 and a Samsung Tocco which is seriously outdated and in bad condition but i have Irish and UK SIM cards but if i could have both in my GS2 id ditch the Toccco.

I previously bought a Simore card for an Omnia and couldn't get it to work. Each cut SIM worked on it's own but the switching adaptor card never did. €40 wasted in my opionion.

Yes thats right www.magicsim.com is the product

How do these things work? I mean does it allow incoming calls on any one of the two SIMs? Or only one SIM is active at one time?
And what happens when both the SIMs receive calls at the same time?

Only 1 sim is active, because the phone only has 1 antenna. When both numbers get a phonecall at the same moment, the active one will make the phone ring, the non-active one will go to voicemail.

If I have one "normal" Sim and second credit data SIM for internet access, it is possible set it that way that first will be not used for connecting to internet?! I am now switching cards but need second phone to get calls what is inconvenient.

Not with the Dualsim app. But I'm sure you could use an APN-manager and "lock" the APN settings, so only the one with a data plan can connect to mobile internet.

S2 with none cut 28th works
Hi
I am using the non cut version of the 28th and it works fine apart from 2 sim online it does not auto switch has anyone got this feature to work with sammy s2 ?
Is there a way to upgrade the sim tools app?

No, but you can simulate it and mayb possible in the near future. I think i am going to order it too.. But need a new case then lol
FAQ on some other site:
Q24. Can the two numbers be on line at the same time
Answer: As one mobile with only one receiver, it is very difficult to make two sim cards online at the same time? Anyway, we are never stop making efforts to this direction.
The present method to solve is if you set calling divert service for two sim card, two sim cards will be online at the same time.

The "simulation" is nothing to do with this dual sim adapter; you can set a divert from any sim to your One X sim, so calls from that sim come through to the One X as well.
I don't think feature won't come any time soon either.

Interesting....wonder will it take a normal SIM and a micro SIM in the adaptor.
Sometimes you need at oversea station

It arrived! (only taking a couple days) and its been working well so far. Very satisfied!
The "2 sims online" option is for timed switching (so you can set it to switch sims every 10 mins etc)
For anyone interested this is the exact item i bought...

Honestly this is really cool! I have a few questions though. If I have a 3G data bundled line and a normal 2G line, will I be able to keep the data on permanently while switching between the two lines for calls only? My guess is no
And the 2 slots are for microsim only right?
I wonder if this can fit into my Otterbox commuter.

By normal he probably means the miniSIM.
The microSIM goes into the phone and then the miniSIM hangs out the back.
