[Q] SIM Card Connector?

I read online that some Chinese resellers have managed to solder a SIM Card Connector to the Incredible's motherboard that originated from Verizon USA.
Has anyone heard of this? Can we just solder a compatible SIM Card Connector onto the Incredible or are there other things that need to be done?
This would allow the Incredible to be used on their local CDMA network.
Attached are pictures of the authentic finished product with the SIM Card Connector.
I took a close look at the motherboard & indeed there are solder contacts for the SIM Card Connector.
Was wondering if one of those SIM Card Connectors available online & attached here could fit in that slot.
Anyone able to advise on this?
I hope to use my Verizon HTC Incredible on the China Telecom network in the future.
Please advise me...

Google gold card. There is a way to format a sim card to be used on overseas CDMA networks.

How does that thing work, and does it work?

The reseller was touting that it will work on the China Telecom network. I might need to verify if he meant the GSM or CDMA network.
I was wondering if the hardware for Incredible is similar to the Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 in that it supports dual radio? Sprint's TP2 has CDMA as primary & GSM/WCDMA as secondary cellular radio.
That could explain why there is a SIM card slot in the Incredible.
On a related note, I discovered that the reseller mentioned something about writing something to the phone related to the following:
Basic communication functions: IMSI, ESN, A-Key ​EVDO Internet access: AN, AAA​ Does all these make sense?
I got the above information from this article: http://translate.google.com.hk/tran...=lPv&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=ivns

tulalhyt,
Do you mean that you have a 'converted' HTC Incredible now?
Which network are you using it on? CDMA or GSM?

spence341,
I googled 'gold card' like you suggested & I don't know what it has to do with this?
Here's an excerpt from an online resource:
What is a Gold Card ?
A Gold card is a special SD card which when inserted into your device allows you to flash RUU files with a different CID to your own device. For example if you have a AT&T branded device it will allow you to flash a generic ROM. ​As for formatting a SIM card to be used on overseas CDMA network, the Verizon HTC Incredible does not have a SIM card inside now so how can this work?
Or am I not understanding you correctly?
Thanks!
Konker

I am not sure, I came across a post by somebody in china that was creating a gold card to use the Inc in china. I don't know enough about it to give any advise.

[Q] Go Phone Sim to Tilt 2 After Unlock?

If I sim unlock my tilt 2, will it take an att go phone sim card? Right now it says sim card invalid.

Probably so. I don't see why it wouldn't take it. A SIM unlock allows you to insert any carrier's SIM card for use on a GSM network.

When did you get the tilt?

I have been using my unlocked tilt2 with a go phone sim card for the past 6 months. Does the SIM card work with other phones? If not, maybe bad SIM card. If so, not sure what is up..

Try a new SIM card see if that works. I know if you bought the gophone in a kit you know one of the boxed ones in the electronics department the sims in the those phones are locked for 6 months i believe get a new SIM card activate it and your good to go if its an At&t tilt2 you shouldnt even need the device unlocked just from my experience and reading other fourms.. Hope this helps you or someone else

your problem is hardware, not software.
you busted your sim module. you have to buy a new sim module. probably one of the small metallic pins caught the hinges of your adaptor when you pulled it out.this is why your sim is no longer read after pulling out your sim.

Thanks for that, that's what it seems like, needs a new sim tray, apparently £35 fitted, so not to bad

Dual sim tray in single sim model?

I'm going to be traveling internationally in a few months, and more than likely going to end up on a local SIM where I'm going for while I'm there.
On the single SIM tray there appears to just be a spacer molded into the tray where a second sim would go in the dual sim version. I'm thinking about ordering a dual SIM tray from China on eBay (10 bucks) so I can use the second sim slot in the tray as storage for my not in use sim.
Anyone know of any reason this shouldn't work? I can't think of any reason it shouldn't...

You'll have to flash a dual sim firmware package but there's issues with flashing firmware that's not what originally was installed on your moto z play.
You could ultimately loose your IMEI , Which would render your phone useless.
It's just easier to sim unlock and insert a single sim.

I'm already sim unlocked (have the US unlocked version courtesy of republic). My intention is to only use whichever sim is in slot 1. I'll manually pull the tray and switch sim positions when I need to switch. I just want the second slot as dead storage space for the unused sim card. Just wondering if there's something physical in the guts of the single SIM version that could be damaged by or cause damage to the unused sim in slot 2 of the tray. Or if there's something physically different about the dual SIM tray that will not allow it to fit in the single SIM version of the device.
Definitely no flashing of dual SIM firmware happening on this device.

You should be fine. Just make sure that the active sim goes in the same slot as where it would go in the single-sim tray and the inactive sim go in the spare slot. It's a good way to not lose a sim card. I was thinking of doing this for my single-sim, carrier variant Moto x play, but never bothererd.

Thanks. Avoiding losing a sim while on my trip is my primary reason for doing this. Guess I'll give it a shot!

Update:
Received dual Sim tray from China today (13 days order to door, $10 shipped on eBay)
Visually compared both, they seem basically identical, with the exception of some type of serial number sticker on the original single Sim tray.
Fit isn't quite perfect - the angle of the outer piece of the tray isn't quite right, so it's a tiny bit recessed into the edge of the phone on one end, and slightly raised on the other end. Enough to be visually noticed if you're looking for it, and can be felt running a finger nail over the seam between the edge of the phone and the Sim tray. Don't believe it's enough to present any "catch" issues if running naked, and a total non issue if using a case or bumper.
No apparent functional issues - device connects fine using Sim 1 slot in tray. Did not feel any unusual resistance when inserting tray with both Sims aboard. Obviously doesn't see the Sim in slot 2.
Nice to be able to carry both my Sims with me, worry free. Worth the money for my use case.
