Anyone tried one of the myriad of Dual SIM adapters in a Desire yet ?
From what i've seen there is one which you cut your SIM and put 2 in a holder which should fit into the standard SIM slot, but i'd rather not cut my SIM. The second type of dual SIM holder is one which the second SIM is typically folded over the battery with a ribbon cableSP2,,{/w].
So has anyone tried the second type please and does the battery cover fit ok after the adapter is inserted ?
(yes i know two SIM's cannot be active at the same time, but i need the switchable feature without popping out the battery every time i travel out of country for work where the roaming charges are ridiculous)
I tried both with my touch hd. The battery was heavily affected even if manufacterer said it wouldn't.
Now i just carry two phones

I tried the "MagicSIM 2008 20th edition" from deal extreme, it only worked when the Desire was locked to GSM mode only.
3G mode didn't work in a Nokia handset either, so I think the switcher was to blame rather than the Desire causing issues.

I have Simore Dual Sim in my Desire, but he only see one sim card. So i cannot recomend it.
any updates?
I use Simore Platinum, work well. Some time lost a 2 SIM, I have to remove the adapter and check the SIM is a good position.

How does it work with data communication?
I mean if you have SIM1 with one operator and specific APN, when you change to SIM2 with different APN how does that work??
Other question, how do you change SIM, I guess via Simore software. Is it good?, is it fast in change from one active SIM1 to activate other SIM2?
Sorry but I never had dual sim adapter (only dual sim dual standby phones) in a smartphone.

Number Hide and Number Edit.
I ended up getting the 26th cutting for my HTC desire off ebay. If you email the guy who's selling the no-cut version (he's the cheapest i could find) he also sells the cutting version which works with the HTC Desire. I've had it working for a few days now.....running smoothly! I'll report back in a week or so and let u all know if its still running nice.
Not sure what the No.Hide and No.Edit functions do....i might email the guy i bought it off and ask

This is still working great. For anyone who's interested I've also had it working in my Girlfriends HTC Wildfire.

Any update on how this worked out for you?

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)

If you are wanting two numbers to go to your phone Google Voice is the best option out there.
Thank you, but I just want to use my phone overseas when I am there, and at the same time be able to use my current USA T-Mobile sim (through Wifi.) Right now it's a hassle having to power off, take out battery, and swap sim each time.

i don't know how two SIM cards would even fit under battery of this phone it's pretty dang tight.
I found this
http://www.simore.us/us/compatibilites_200_T-Mobile_myTouch-4G_5871.php
I don't have one but the prices are expensive for these? I too would like to have a dual sim card adapter.
Then it also says this
The T-Mobile myTouch-4G has not yet suffered full compatibility tests

With most dual sim adapter you would have to cut the sims. There are some that dont require cutting but the adapter would be dangling from the phone, which can be concealed with the case (the special scratch protector case.)

Yeah, I also found this (before I posted the question here.) It means the myTouch 4G is not fully tested for compatibility. If you look at some of the other phone models, it would say something like "....fully tested and compatible..."
I was just hoping to see if anyone ACTUALLY used one of these for the myTouch 4G.
Also I read really bad reviews on Simore. About the product not working and can't get a refund. So I dont think I will try them.
Hi all,
As anyone ever tried dual sim adapter on our phone?

Which phone model?

I have never ever seen an Android phone with a dual sim... But I want to
this could be very functional. and could save a lot of time switching cards.
there are a few dual sim android phones like http://www.fonearena.com/blog/33946/motorola-xt800-dual-sim-android-phone-review.html
but only 550mhz cpu...
all the dual sim androids are gsm+cdma
sadly these dual sim adapters cant do dual sim standby....
meaning u cant call or recieve calls and sms when u select the first sim on the second sim

Check out Motorola XT800. Its dual SIM (GSM+CDMA) phone, but too expensive for its specifications.
http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_xt800_zhishang-3073.php
EDIT: unreal3000, didn't notice that you too provided a link of the same model.
would this be a form of plug and play or would you need to solder it on mobo of the phone?

none of them need soldering...but most of them require you to cut both the sims
to make them smaller...dont worry it wont damage the sim and they give u an adapter incase you want to use the sims again....but the ones which can use 3g are much more expensive!
cutting them in pieces to make em fit wont be a prob, you could always get a new sim with your old phone number. and that it doesnt require soldering is a BIG +++ to this. im getting more and more interrested.
From my experience (and i have a fair bit) its a piece of cake. Never had any issues what-so-ever
With such a dualsimadaptor do you have to reboot to use the other sim or can you switch between the two simcards when your phone is on?

Hey guys I've had my eyes on a Nexus and I'll most likely have one within the next month or two (whenever Craigslist prices drop). Is it true that it uses a micro 4g sim card? My standard 4g sim card would not fit would it? I'm on Verizon.
I wonder if a sim cutter would work like they do on AT&T. I switch between phones often so I'd like to have the capability to go to another 4g phone without going to see Big Red. Thanks for any information.

The LTE phone uses Micro SIM, the GSM one uses normal SIM cards
The sim from my Thunderbolt DID NOT work in the Nexus (micro sim) ... I was so bummed that I sold the Bolt ... I mean whats the point if I can't swap between the two.

not sure...but the micro sim card has a very small slot to fit in on the Nexus.....not sure even with an adaptor will it fit in?
I can confirm that the vzw microsim used in my lte gnex will work in a Thundebolt with a microsim adapter.
I originally was going to try the above in the reverse, but my microsim cutter did not come in time. I just had vzw activate a new microsim. I have no reason to think this would not work.

Awesome, thanks. I was hoping I'd be able to cut or adapt to go back and forth.

A cut down sim will work perfectly. I was too damn lazy and just got a micro sim, but a cut down sim would work fine bro.

A SIM is a SIM. Hell, if the phones weren't locked and using incompatible bands, you could swap AT&T and VZW SIM's at will. Maybe...someday...when we have multiband NA LTE chipsets...
I really want a Nexus. Anyone wana sell me theirs? Or trade?
