When i insert a 3 sim card on an unlocked g3 qtek 9100 i get the error message invalid and or missing sim card.
Are the Three sim cards compatible?
`
I too, would like to know if anyone has a Wizard working with a Three SIM?
"The SIM is card is missing" - is all I get.
`

3 sim cards are only compatible with 3g phones, as the wizard isn't 3g it wont work by default.
I believe some people have managed to get 3 sims working in non 3g phones, but if 3 discover that you're using a non 3g phone they will deactivate the sim.

ok i got my phone on o2 after loosing it i reported it lost they blocked my ime number and sent me a new sim card, then i had the phone returned to me and o2 said ime number had been unblocked. when i inserted new sim i got no signal on o2 sim card so i tried someone elses o2 card same problem no signal but it works in other phone. also if i put other network sim cards in xda2 they work do any of you out there know why my o2 cards will not work in xda2?
Are you SURE O2 un-blocked the correct IMEI?
Sounds to me like the IMEI is still blocked - No O2 SIMs work in this phone but do work in other phones; other carrier SIMs work in this phone.
Really sounds blocked.
I just got my new M5000 yesterday, bought off Ebay.
It was sold as unlocked - but the phone refuses to accept my sim card for some reason - tells me invalid or missing sim. And yes, my sim works fine on another telefone. I have tried another sim from a friend in my M5000, and that works fine. Does anybody know if the M5000 has some limitation as to what sim cards it accepts?
Thanks, Paul

If you have Sim card very old - I always happens - change it for free at your operator for 3G ( UMTS) services.
I have an VODAFONE VPA COMPACT III (v1605), which I am trying to use with a Bmobile SIMM card in Barbados.
When I first tried the SIMM card I never got a signal, the phone just kept searching despite the fact that I have good covereage. When I insert a pre-paid Vodaphone SIMM card the phone works perfectly.
Incase the phone wasn't unlocked when purchased it I have ran HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe on the phone to unlock it. The PDA now shows an ! after the signal symbol and when opened the message says No Service. Both the Network selection and Network bands are set to Auto.
Hi, does anyone use alpine with 3 network sim card?
I tried everything (even praying) to make them work together. I can't unlock it, basically.
Any ideas?

3 lock their sim cards so they cant be used with non 3g phones
no work around i know of
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.
