Looking for some advice. I bought an Advanced Twin SIM Adapter http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/6579.htm for my unlocked WM5 T-Mobile MDA Vario to allow me to use my company SIM and personal SIM.
The Advanced Twin SIM Adpater works on my old Nokia 8310 however when I use it in my Vario it tells me I have an invalid SIM. Any help/advice would be much appreciated.

Hi.My brother recenlty bought an unlocked t-mobile branded "magician".He put his o2 uk simcard in and can't get the gprs settings.I have a jam myself and so went onto club imate and downloaded the operator settings for o2 uk and installed them onto his device.Problem is they don't seem to work.Is there something were missing here?Something extra that needs doing with it orginally being t-mobile?please someone help!
kind regards
The only thing I can suggest is that he check his SIM card is enabled for GPRS.
:wink: I bought the mini s yesterday from O2 and the salesperson stated that its not network locked. I didnt believe at first but when i tried it with the other network sim, and she is correct :shock: . It is really unlocked! Now I slimply swapped the sims from my phone. I need a smaller one when I go out to the pubs.
The only downside i noticed is that not all my programs and games works in this new OS.
Indeed
:
All O2 contract phones are now unlocked
After buying my wizard, I installed a pre-paid sim card and am totally happy. (Debitel-light on the E-plus network)
I have a vario II that was purchased in the UK. I am trying to use it in the USA and have it it sim and cid unlocked using the unlocker. The only network it seems to be able to find is Cingular. What am i missing to get it to find t-mobile.
thanks
Travelled from UK to USA and using my HTC TyTN II changed UK O2 SIM card for an AT&T SIM card. Used loads of KOA Kamp sites wireless and once AT&T 3G SMS and voice services in USA and all worked fine.
Returned to UK removed AT&T SIM card inserted UK O2 SIM card and of course sods law my O2 SIM card will not register or connect to UK O2 Network.
HTC TyTN II dialogue box displays a message "Smart chip not provisioned MM 2" and that a data connection, that I cannot find, needs changing.
I Phoned the UK O2 customer services and very helpful a call centre operator says your phone needs replacing (like hell it does)
I suspect that registering the AT&T SIM card a registry setting is changed and that it is an altered that is causing the UK O2 network connection failure.
Is it possible that someone will tell me what has occurred and/or a solution?
PS Enjoyed the two white knuckle car rides Highway One South Big Sur to LA and Westport CA to Bodega Bay!
if it's a reg then a hardreset should set it straight
When a SIM Card not working "Think Simple"
Thank you
17 July 2007 called HTC technical support staff Edyta, reference 080717 UK 08315084 replaced O2 SIM card that will not connect to Network.
Retest using T-Mobile SIM TyTN II works just fine. Insert an O2 XDA other O2 SIM Card and TyTN II works just fine. Contacting O2 for a replacement SIM. O2 sending replacement SIM card with failed SIM card existing mobile number and carried forward credit.
Moral here is think simple
I have a TYTN II on the Orange UK network (Pay Monthly). The phone is unlocked and works with a O2 (Pay as you GO) SIM on the network.
I recently bought the following Dual SIM Adaptor :-
http://www.m-99.co.uk/Mobile_Phone_Twin_SIM_Adapters/mobile_phone_twin_sim_adapters.html
I cut both my SIMS and tested them on a Nokia. The SIMS work fine in the Nokia, I can select SIM 1 or SIM 2.
On plugging the adaptor into my TYTN, the O2 network works fine.
On switching to the Orange UK network the phone shows signal, but after approx 15 seconds the network shows no signal.
When trying to access the SIM Manager during this 15 seconds it does state that the SIM is initialising.
The Adaptor works fine on a Nokia but not a TYTN II. Any Ideas ??
Perhaps it requires different hardware? On the site you have to choose the model ..
Bought one from another site and same problem.
I chose the TYTN adaptor.
I'll try a different ROM.

Maybe you have to turn the radio off before switching from one sim to another.
Have you set it to GSM network type ?
Go to: Settings>Phone>Band (you will need a working sim installed to enter phone options)
I had a bunch of dual sims that worked great on WM PDAs, sold um all.
Your problem sounds like the Orange SIM is not connecting well.
One trick that can work well is to place the Dual sim adaptor (SIMs loaded in adaptor) on a flat surface PCB side down & apply even preassure over the top with your thumb (Give it a good hard squash)
This normally cures it.
Another option is to swap the sim positions & see if Orange works in the O2 slot (this will prove sim terminal connection problem)
Thanks Mister B,
Went to Settings>Phone>Band and switched from Auto to GSM. All works fine.
Cheers
DUAL SIM Not working on Treo 750 WM 6.1 GSM phone
The Dual SIM Adapter boasts of not needing to switch off to switch between SIMS. But it shows only default SIM 1 and not the second SIM. My Treo 750 is a unlocked WM 6.1 GSM type. Can anyone help pls?
No 1: follow tip in post #5
No 2: remove sim adaptor from phone place it on a flat hard surface with the PCB board facing down & roll your thumb over the back of it with reasonable pressure & then retry it in your device.
Some of these adaptors need a lot of patience to get working due to poor contacts between sim cards & adaptor.
You can also swap position of your 2 SIMs which will help fault diagnose the issue.
