Dual sim for Orbit

Would anyone be interested in these? I will be getting stock in a few days time. Price will be £12 delivered. Expensive but these ones are guaranteed to fit and work the Orbit.
If price is too much then please don't flame me, no one is forcing anyone to buy, I would just like to know if people are interested so I can make a bigger order.

Where are you shipping it from? (Tax reasons). And can you post picture, or link to picture. Is it non-cut sim or not. Please give details.

I will have them here in the UK m8 don't worry. These are cut style ones m8. I will post pics when I get them. Thanks for the interest m8

do you ship to Canada?

yes I will ship worldwide

Hello!
Digital or analog? Cause I had a digital in my Orbit and I could watch the battery draining off. My fully loaded battery was empty after 2 days with max 15 min of use inbetween.
...bye DonQ

Can you tell me more about these? Exactly what will these provide and who with?
Thanks.

OK just to let you people know that's me got TWO in stock now at the moment, I will be ordering more once I know how people are interested. I have opened ONE up and TRIED it in my ORBIT and it is working PERFECT. I am in the UK and am using o2 AND mobileworld with NO PROBLEMS at all !
For those of you who don't know what this is, this is basically ONE SIMCARD HOLDER which allows you to use TWO simcards IN IT. So you can SWITCH between networks WITHOUT the need to SWAP SIMS !
Any questions PM me.
Cost is £12 delivered anywhere in UK
£15.50 for international
That is my prices so if anyone is not happy please don't post here, for those who are happy with the price then PM me to sort of details

Hi I am interested in these is there any chance you could post up some pictures of these and explain if any modification for the sim card is needed?
Also how do you switch between the two sims is there a menu etc?

PM sent m8, please check your inbox

I'm interested in doing this so I can use two sim cards in my XDA Orbit, I'm just a little bit concerned about cutting my SIM cards. Ideally I'd like to find a way of copying two SIM cards into a single new SIM but I've never seen anything like that.
Once you've fitted the dual SIM how do you switch between them or are they both active simultaneously?

nothing dodgy about cutting the sims m8, they come with GHOST sims which allow you to re-use your CUT UP SIMCARDS just as you would a normal simcard, simply place your small simcard inside the full size simcard and voila....you have a NORMAL simcard again. so you are NOT forced to use the dual sim if you don't want to.
cannot use 2 networks at same time m8, you have to switch between them but you don't have to turn the phone off or reset.
PM me for more info. already sold lots of these with no bad comments or problems so far. I was the first one to try it out, so I used my simcards and my own orbit as the test hamsters. so don't worry

Hi there,
I have still to receive the dual sim can you advise when it was sent?

Arrived now cannot wait to see if its upto the job?

yeah m8 really sorry for the delay, I am normally very quick with postage but had to go abroad for Chinese New Year so that was the hold up sorry. Anyway let me know how you get on as I personally use one and find it great.

hello
thesedual sim holders work a treat as i had one in my universal (xda Exec) and worked perfect. i sold the exec and bought the orbit and am still using the same dual sim holder, ie the cut version.
WORD OF WARNING - be very careful when cutting the sim as one wrong cut renders the sim useless and you will have to order another one, i know from experience as i have personally ruined one.... just follow the template and draw a line then using scissors cut the sim making sure that the line is visible and some of the extra sim part then use a blade to shave it to the correct size. this method worked for me for all the other times i cut the sim.
anyway once you have it working i have got a piece of software which a few of us 'developed' its called Wivit Sim Switch Software and basically you can use this program to switch between the 2 numbers without turning flight mode on and off, its quicker, and it tells you (most of the time) what sim is actually in the phone. This software was designed for WM2003 but we managed to get all the dll files etc and compile them into this utility. it is supposed to be a 15 day trial but the countdown timer takes a lot more than 15 days to count down, (i have neve seen it countdown to '0' as yet) so enjoy it.
download from www.our-xda.co.uk and in the tools menu.
thanks

Sim card junctor pin broke

I used a micro sim card and a adapter, broke one of the three pins while removing it, my note can't read the sim card now, will take it to Samsung service center tomorrow but I'm afraid it will cost a lot, any advice where to buy the sim junctor online just in case ?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

oh dear
i read a lot of stories on the forum about this very issue when i first bought my phone, which is why i didnt use a microsim adaptor and got a replacement sim from GiffGaff instead.
from what i understand use of a microsim adaptor voids the warranty so dont admit to that.

It's not easy to replace the SIM reader by yourself. It's soldered on the mainboard.

You mean that the main board needs to be changed?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

No. The reader can be replaced but it requires a hot air rework station and some experience. The new reader can be soldered with a fine solder tip.

Thanks for the info, will go to Samsung tomorrow and see how much it will cost.

Ok, i went to samsung service center, the guy told me that it's easy to fix it, they will change the sim connector, it will take one working day for 40$.

Mine will evidentially break the same way. I can tell that if I pull my micro-sim and adapter out from my Note, that it will pull the pin. I'll now have to replace the sim when replacing the Note in the not too distant future.
It's happened to me previously with an Xperia PLAY.
Pro-tip, stay away from micro-sim adapters.

no actually you could just cut a really thin but rigid piece of plastic thats the exact width or just a very bit smaller than a sim and thats slightly longer. use that to easily slide under your sim tray then gently ease the tray out .. this will protect the pins from snagging, breaking off, or getting stressed.... or use a full size sim but you must need it or im guessing you would have done that already...
should save you from breaking... but if you do break it..i can fix it...

Major issue with SAMSUNG SIM-microSIM pin connector
Now there are dual format SIM. A slot is already there in the plastic allowing to transform your SIM into a microSIM without using any tools. Bad luck, the slot is just large enough to grap the pin of the pin connector and to break it. It happens when you remove your SIM.
The connector is very cheap but Samsung garantie is not working for that: they only replace the motherboard (cost 200€).

So the note II has a mini sim

Anyone get their note II from tmobile? Did it come with a programmed mini sim ? I just found out about this and my old sim is the og and wont work in the note. If it doesnt come with a programmed sim am I going to have to bring it to a tmobile dealer to have it programmed?

You can either buy a new micro sim at their retail store, or you could just cut the sim into a micro sim.

I'm sure your n2 came with a micro sim in the box. You can always go to my.t-mobile.com and activate your new sim online. Takes about 2 mins and although it says it might take 2 hours to activate, it's almost always immediate.

Here in Sweden the carrier put my old sim in something that looked like a nail clipper. 2 seconds later a mini sim had been stamped out. I can only imagine your carrier has the same tool.

Simply take your old sim to your local dealer and let them know you need a micro for your GN2.. I did this when I got my GS3 and they transferred all my contacts as well cause I didn't back them up t google..

Just as a side note. If your like me and swap phones often and your old ones are mini SIM vs micro SIM them you will need a converter. You can get them on eBay for like a dollar. I think I paid 5 bucks for 5. This way you can use your mini SIM in your old phones. It's just a plastic template that the mini SIM fits into. I'm using one right now in my SG2. Rumor is T-Mobile will start carrying them as well. I think there's are red vs mine are black but the color makes no difference.

Not to nitpick, but for exactitude's sake: what we typically refer to as "regular" SIM cards are technically "Mini" SIMs. The "full-size" ones were credit-card sized and weren't around for very long.

Standard sim cards are "mini sim" The smaller squarish ones are micro sim. IF you bought brand new, should have a micro in the box. Otherwise, cut yours down. Takes less than 5 to go online and activate new micro tho.

Nice. Thanks for the tips!!! I didn't know it could be activated online and the nearest store is a half hour away . So thats definitely awesome. Should have it mon or tues. Thanks folks!

All you have to do is login to my.t-mobile.com and find the "activate sim card" Or, I guess you could do live chat or call them.

You can always call 611 and talk to customer care as well. They can activate it for you. And if your old phone had contacts on the sim card and it's backed up with tmobile's backup, you can port all the contacts as well. Or, have all your contacts via google mail, and all the contacts get automagically transferred over.

When I ordered my note 2 T Mobile sent a MicroSIM with it and you can just go to www.T-Mobile.com/sim to activate it.

I can't find mobile life contact on Note 2, didn't see the option to add it either on the setting. Am i missing something?
It shows up on my S3, but not on Note 2, stock Rom.

Actually if you have an old mini sim card or us people call it a sim card, some features like Wi-Fi calling won't work. That's what had to be done when I switched to the S2. Jumped ships onto the S3 was when I got my micro sim card, then switched to the Note 2, so now I have an extra micro sim card just in case.

Wanted to use my prepaid sim in my new Note2. Tmobile tried charging me $20 for a new micro sim which is ridiculous so I just went home and cut my sim down myself.

Swapping Sim between HTC One & iPhone 5

So I will be getting the HTC One. I'm currently using an iPhone 5, and I want to be able to switch between the 2.
I know the iPhone 5 uses nano sim, and the HTC One uses micro sim, so I will have to buy an adapter.
However, will it even be possible to just switch sims, seeing as Verizon is CDMA?
Thanks!

I'm doing this same thing with my S4. You will have a SIM in the iPhone and a SIM in the HTC One.
You'll need to go onto the website and swap the active device on the line (takes like 5 mins, super easy).
Even if you could just drop the iPhone SIM into the HTC One (you can not), you'd still have to set the IMEI for the device to be the active device.
This is how they track data usage etc. Activation takes up to 15 minutes, but I noticed in my area in socal it took only 2 minutes.
There is no additional cost to swap or use a different device. Did this myself this morning, rep assured there is no charge but they do present a summary of what the line (your phone number) costs monthly. Not to be confused with the IMEI and SIM numbers (for which there is NO cost to swap, add, etc).

I've swapped my sim between at least 20 devices without ever needing to change anything on the verizon web page. The only time I have ever had to have any interaction with Verizon is when going from a nano to micro sim. However I've cut three micro sims to fit into iPhones without issue.

That's way too complicated. Just buy a $5 sim adapter off Amazon and voila. I switch between my s4 and iPhone on a weekly basis and have never had to call verizon or use the website.

With sim adapter I've been using the Same sim and switching between my galaxy s4, iPhone 5, bb Z10, and lumia 928.

Ok, so it looks like there are a couple different options, and now at least I know it's definitely possible to do easily.
Thanks for the replies everyone, you're awesome!

**EDIT** Ha! Snap, 600th post. Sorry, had to, I got excited for a second.

I went by a Verizon store today to purchase an HTC One. At the store, there was a sticker on the HTC One that said "NFC SIM required to activate". The sales person didn't know if my nano sim / adapter would work at all in the HTC One. We couldn't even test it, because he said I'd be charged a $35 restocking fee if it didn't work, and if I decided not to purchase... I decided not to take the risk.
Has anyone actually tried moving an iPhone 5 nano sim to an HTC One (using an adapter)?
Can an active nano sim (non-NFC sim) be used / moved a new HTC One, or is a NFC sim really required to activate??

I have not and I don't know the answer to your last question, however I've decided I'm just going to keep the nano sim in the iPhone and keep a sim in the htc one and when I want to switch I'll just go to VZW website and switch phones, like the first answer said. It's real simple so for me it's no big deal. I'd rather not put the wear and tear on the sim and sim tray.

I switch between my HTC One, SG3, and SG4 but they all have same size SIM.
I heard adapters can cause issues
gotta love how apple does everything different until it comes to software that was in Android light years before iOS
how do I tell if my SIM is NFC?
I am still using my SIM card I got when I bought Samsung s3

ohh, no need to apologize, I am sorry as well. I understand your post now.

Then why would Verizon put a giant sticker on the HTC One box, proclaiming an NFC sim was required? Placing my iPhone sim in the One (with adapter) will just work? Hopefully this is the case.

This will not work. As soon as you activate the One VZ will "burn" your i5 sim. Same thing going the other direction. VZ will not allow you to have two (2) working sim cards.

Verizon used to disable a SIM after its been used... i.e. SIM A in phone, switch to SIM B, SIM A is no longer usable. So your plan might now work.
Instead, you'll likely have to activate the Nano SIM for the iPhone 5, then use an adapter when moving your iPhone 5 SIM to another phone...
Two SIM adapter options are -> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009B9YWB4/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 or -> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009ABEA7E/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (i've ordered each of those, so I know they work ).

i literally just reactivated my nano sim, stuck it in my iPhone to make sure it worked, and then put it into my One using an adapter. works fine

I guess you can call Verizon and have them send you a sim card.
.. but only one lol
got one coming. just in case ever need one
they send for free and doen't charge for the SIM if anyone every wants to save themselves a trip to the VZW store
I had them send NFC SIM, didn't realize i dont need it but oh well.
she actually sent me two because their systems were slow and she never asked my address and I said ur sending it to my appt right, and shes like.. no.
she was very nice, apologized for not asking, and instead said f it and said ill just send one to you and one to the original order cos their computers weer sucking lol

Warning T-mobile is sending the wrong Sim size

So I got my phone today and noticed that T-mobile sent me micro sim instead of a nano sim. I went to the T-mobile store near my to get a replacement sim card. I don't know why but something told me not to deal with the rep I was in line waiting for, it seemed like everyone he dealt with ended up pissed. I didn't listen *first mistake* and stayed in line I got up to the guy and I told him what was going on. He just grabs the phone out of my hand and says maybe you're just sticking it in wrong. So he tries to jam a micro sim into a tray made for a nano sim and manages to get it in. I said what the hell are you doing I just told you it was the wrong sim size, then he was like well I guess you're right. When he tries to get the sim card out he can't, so he takes it to the back to "work on it" 20 minutes later he comes out with my phone in his hand, I'm thinking alright got my new sim and everything is good to go. Boy was I wrong, the first thing out of his mouth was "well we had a little problem" and shows me the sim slot. Well the good news is he managed to get the sim tray out, the bad news is the sim card was stuck inside and it looks like they damaged the pins trying to get it out. I was like you're kidding me right and asked to speak to a manger because I couldn't deal with him anymore. The manager offered to replace it so he goes into his system and then tells me he can't place the order because the phone hasn't released yet. He told me I have to come back Friday get one if they have it in stock. Now I have a 800 dollar paper weight mocking me

this may have been the time when I would have punch him in the face, just kidding but that's f**k up !!!

You have no idea how bad I wanted to. I spoke to T-mobile today and they seem to think that the phone uses a Micro Sim, even if I ignored the fact that the sim they sent doesn't even fit in the tray Samsung website and on their own webpage under the what's in the box says nano sim. I hope they get it figured out or they will have a lot of angry people calling them tomorrow.

I would of said "I just need a nano sim please" then come home and activate it at t-mobile.com/sim

Good news I went to another T-Mobile store and he was able to get the sim card out. The funny thing is that he said I was the 9th person that came in with this problem and the store only been open for 45 minutes. He said a batch of phones went out with micro sims instead of the multi sims *the ones with the 3 pull tabs to choose your size* One of the guys in line behind me said that one of the support guys on the phone told him he had to try to use the micro sim to confirm it's the wrong one before he could get a new one or he would be charged a fee.

Wow! Insanity. I would have... I don't even know. There would have been loud words.
I had a similar situation with a much less expensive item in a store recently where I just stood there and watched as the sales person proceeded to try to bash something together (I had pointed out it was bent and wouldn't fit right ) which of course cracked the thing I was about to buy.
I got a hefty discount to say the least.
If it had been something like a brand spanking new cell phone I hadn't even been able to use yet??
It would have been his head broken along with the sim tray.

Got 100 off my bill for my troubles, what's funny about the whole thing is that when I called phone support they wanted to charge me full price to send me a new phone. I asked the lady if she was smoking crack, keep in mind this is the same person that told me that the edge plus use a micro sim instead of nano sim. She had no clue what was going on I had to explain everything to her multiple times. I must say this is the first time I've ever had any issues with T-Mobile.

Wow 200 off the phone bill is quite massive. How did you persuade them to give you that compensation amount or did you demand it? I used to get 40 dollar credits here and there for 'outages' during the days of sidekick device aha

I'm so confused...It was my understanding that this device does not have a removable SD card?!? Or are you all talking about the internal memory..If so, how/where would I find the means to remove/replace it?

That's weird the Sim card I got was actually 3 Sim card sizes in one. It came assembled as a regular sized Sim but had punch outs to reduce the card to micro and nano sizes... I didn't use the new one considering I had been using the nano Sim from my M9 anyway.

I've noticed that in store as well when I needed a new one. That's actually a good move and saves money. However, TMO needs to explain the cards to the customer.
