Dual sim KING OF DOUBLE CARD with MDA Compact

Hi there,
Some time ago I purchased a KING OF DOUBLE CARD for my MDA Compact. It seems however that this card is not functioning in my PPC.
I am using a MDA Compact with the original T-Mobile ROM. I only partly installed the cabs because I wanted to get rid of the ugly T-mobile colours.
Could someone please provide me with some help?:
1st: does anyone make use of the KING OF DOUBLE CARD
2nd: What Rom do you have
3rd: Do I have to install something in addition?
etc etc.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards
Wilfried

dont know any answers, but I do have a question...how did you make it fit?
I thought it didnt fit in the HTC Magician....so I bought another and carved up my SIMs
works fine though, using Wivit SIm Status Switcher with it to switch SIMs..
you could try it, its a great app

which model did you buy? what do you mean by "carved up my SIMS"?

He probably means a ghost sim, where you cut the chips out of two sim cards and out them into the ghost sim which is normal sim size.

Hi there,
It is a model where you don't have to cut your sims.
Yes you are right: it doesn't fit that easy however with some pressure on the back of the phone it fits.
The problem however is that my phone doesn't recognize the damn card.
I am cosidering to throw it away and take a second phone with me for the other SIM. Again waste of money. hmmmmm

Double SIM work fine on my XDA mini
Hello all,
Just want to share some info, I use Almighty Bicard on my XDA mini, and it's working fine on it, just turn on your flight mode, then turn off your flight mode than you will get your second SIM.
Or you can use SIM master or SIM MAX, it can handled 8/12 SIM no. on 1 SIM card, but some time you have problem to scan your original SIM card.
Thanks, Vireman

Can you point me to the specific dual sim you use??
I bought the ghost sim and couldn't get it to work, I tried on 4 old sim cards and decided not to cut up my work sim and personal sim.
I have been looking for the other typoes which take the full sim cards.
On another note it may not work because you will need to get the T-Mobile phone unlocked to work with another companies SIM.
My work sim is o2 and would only work after the MDA was unlocked.
You can phone T-Mobile ans they will send you the code to do this for £15.

Hallo ishgrnod,
I use Almighty Bicard, You need to cut your SIM chip and put it together on Almighty Bicard. It work like a switcher, If you restart your phone it will switch to another SIM.
Mostly in my country there no phone lock from the operator, I think your problem come from this side.
Thx. Vireman

Isn't there a universal phone unlocker already on the forums?
I use this cut up dual sim in the UK:

Works fine. Just have a steady hand when you cut, measure twice, cut once
I use an O2 contract and orange PAYG. Some reports say O2 contract doesn't work. Mine does, no problems.

I bought a King Of Double Card for my MDA Compact. I cannot get it to fit at all.
I don't really want to chop up my SIM cards either :?
OK, UPDATE:
I got it to fit but the phone will not recognize the cards. I'm using WiViT SIM Status Switcher.
Can anyone suggest recommend a different tool ?
I'm on
ROM Version : 1.12.00 WWE
Radio : 1.12.10
ExtROM : 1.12.131 WWE

WiViT isn't likely to be the problem - it just reads the operator from your network, and the sim phone number stored in your Sim; you may not have one stored in there (I bloody didn't and thought my EVC programming was at fault). See WiViT's faq, or basically open up Sim Manager on your phone.
But, ignore wivit, just ensure you can make a telephone call with either sim. Then, switch over with STK or flight mode off/on and see if you can make a call with the other Sim. If that works, then your problem is with WiViT. If it doesn't your problem is with the sims. See my other posts on these cut up sims - basically, i think Magician doesn't put enough pressure on the back of the "mini sims", and you need to stick some paper down the back of the metal sleave.
V
PS See the thread on Magician today screens to see my Wivit type software...

Hey V, thanks for the advice...
My problem was down to the single SIM end of the Dual SIM not making contact with the connectors in the phone. I have the King Of Double Card Type, as shown in my crude mockup below. ( I dont dare take mine out to take a picture since it took me all evening to get it in right. So please excuse the picture.)
WiViT is working perfectly now, i made sure my own numbers were stored correctly as you suggested, and all is well.
The only problem is, the back of my MDAc is slightly out...but i can live with that i guess (until the MDA Pro (HTC Universal) is released)

2 Sims ?

Any one tried any kind of solution to have two sims installed ? Software / Hardware ?
Terran

Hardware
the one where you have to cut the sim out and stick it into a single SIM.
then you will have to turned on flight mode and turned it of when you want to switch
work great for me (Qtek S100, S110 and now 9100-wizard)
See ya

Has anyone tried the 'king of double card'type dual sim adapters in the Wizard. I have one in my Himalaya and I heard that there is also enough room in the Magician. Would like to know if it also fits into the Wizard (planing to buy one) because I do not like to cut my sims!

Hi bruxelles5
i couldn't understand you bruxelles5 !! would explain it ? thank you in advance

You cut the chips out from two of your existing SIMs and insert them into a special holder that a fits in your phone's SIM slot.
Each time your turn the phone on and off (or use flight mode) it switches between SIMs.
An example here http://duosim.com/.
Another type gives you an extra menu on supported phones to switch numbers without having to turn it on/off.
Note - I've never used any of these gadgets so YMMV. And cutting up your SIM risks damaging it permanently.

I use a SuperSIM card that lets me store up to 12 different sims on the one sim card. It came with a reader that lets you copy your individual sims to the computer, then copy them all to the SuperSIM. Works fine on the Wizard.

Hey mitchelo,
This supersim sounds interesting. How do you switch from one sim to another using your Wizard?

Wow! that sounds like a neat piece of kit!...
I uesd a dual sim holder and this sim switching software on my xda 2s.
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=19046
Worked pretty well, although beta version did not always pick up one of the telephone numbers. They may have fixed this in the 1.0 version.. You can download the trial and see if it works on the wizard. I have not tried it yet..
Regards
Chris

The SuperSIM has a menu that lets you choose between the 12 numbers. It appears as an icon in the programs list. Just click it and you will get the menu.
I have a Telstra and Optus SIM on my supersim.
(P.S. this message was sent from my K-JAM )

Looks like a good bit of kit. Checked the web site out and it looks like it sells for $45 plus shipping. One question though. It talks about only being comaptible with sims that have a couple of different 'formats/protocl' (for want of better words) I am cluless as to what this is for Tmobile USA and 02. Can you shed any light on if I might have a compatibility issue using it?
Many thanks!
Chris

There are some sims that this won't work with. For example I can't use vodafone sim cards with it. I did some searching online before I bought, and knew that voda wouldn't work.
As the expression goes, 'google it'

ok, many thanks, will do. Probably better than trying customer care eh

@cbrow51:
Search the internet for any Ki extractor or a software called Cardinal (can't remember the link).
Extracting the Ki from your sim is the first step you need to create a backup. As of today we are able to extract that value from Comp128V1 cards only. SuperSim and similars are able to emulate these type of cards.
So, give that software a try. If it is able to extract the Ki, feel free to purchase the supersim or whatever.
Save your money for a dinner with your partner, if the software fails.
I hope it does help.
Silver.

You have to have a SIM reader that comes with the SuperSIM to check the Ki. Just google your service provider with something like "{your carrier} supersim". Worked for me.

Almost true, mitchello...
My dearest old smart mouse did his job seamlessly.
Furthermore some of the tools I am talking about are free.
When I was working for another company, I used to carry two mobiles with me. Until I found SIMEMU (still largely available for free on the net) coupled with a set of completely free tools that allowed me to backup my two SIMs into just one.
Search the net for SIMEMU... you'll see that the SuperSIM guy has reinvented the weel... getting payed for his efforts !
C'ya mate.

hi there. where did you buy this super sim and how would i find its compatability with uk network sim cards
cheers

I got mine on eBay. Ask the seller about compatibility, or look on Google.

hi there. thanks for the prompt reply. do you remember who the seller was on ebay. help much appreciated. cheers.

I got mine from a seller called "memoryku". He has several auctions like this one atm:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/SUPER-DUAL-M...832609382QQcategoryZ10364QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

These only work with comp128 - v1 cards.
UK cards are not this so it won't work

Dual Sim switch software

Hi,..
Is there any Dual-Sim switch software (today plug-in) available for WM5?
I've tried Wivit, but this doesn't want to install on my WM5. It looks like it is designed for WM2003se,..
So,.. anyone knows dual sim software to manage my both sim cards?
regards.

Ofcourse I tested [Update 6] Today plugin for dual sim holders, but this plug-in seems to hang my mda-pro. was not able to close any application, and after a short while the whole machine hanged. So I removed it.
To bad there isn't a stable application or today plug in to manage my both sim cards...

Hi all,...
I've experienced several problems with my dual sim holder when switching between sim cards.. Phoned up Multi-Mobile and explained the problems. They said they sent me a new dual sim holder (cut) with no extra charge. I only need to send back the old one.
Good Service!!!

Dual Sim problem

Ok, I have been browsing this forum for a solution to my problem and none seem too specific, at least for my BA wm6.
Here is the problem: I just received a dual sim adapter (the one that needs cutting) -both sims work fine. I can't get them to switch from one sim to the other from my phone. power on/off and flight mode won't do it either. I tried phone alarm, dual sim switcher, and wivit. They don't work for my phone. I also have a wm2003 se BA and tried it on there and I was only to get the dual sim to switch once. So now the dual sim is stuck on SIM2. So it doesn't matter which phone I use I can only use the sim that is on the SIM 2 slot! Blah!!
What I need: A program, or anything to switch my SIMs for my BA wm6. I don't want to keep taking out my sim and open the sim adapter and switch the two sims all the time.
Edit: after fooling around with my 2003se BA I managed to get the Dual Sim Manager to work again, and I noticed that despite switching SIMS, phone information alway display the default SIM. Does this mean that it is not switching? Does this mean that it does switch but the phone does not display it? If latter is the case then I am in big trouble! One SIM has unlimited internet and texting and other one is just a basic plan. Please help! I don't want a surprise bill!
Edit: Sorry, I needed an answer so I'm feverishly testing this crap out. And the answer is yes the sim changes but the phone does not display so. The trick I used is texting my account info and voila! Two different accounts! So, now over to my wm6 BA and check that out

I'm really surprised, that people are so patient to fight with such an uneffective and clumsy device as dual SIM adapter: you have to cut/destroy those SIM cards, then you have to pray that i works with your phone...
I really think, that if you really need to use 2 SIMcards, why not buying a 2nd phone, or just a special phone with 2 radios and for 2 SIMs.
And please don't tell me it's "for comfort" - dualSIM is antiComfort...

There are other solutions that you don't need to cut the sim, one that I have seen is the addapter is placed in the sim slot and the simm are part of the battery pack.
Bottom line is that that one sucks as well.
I feel there is a valid need in my line of work were I would need at least 3 laptops to support the Builds of my customers however VMWare gets me by fine.
As for the phone, I need 2, carry 2 and hate it.
So I would be a buyer if there was anything around worth having. (which as I still have a BA seems not the case).

Dual Sim Problem
Hi pharmeceutikle,
I wonder how this device works for BA at all!
I tried an adapter like yours of a friend of mine and it just doesn't work with my BA.After inserted, I don't see any new menu for it and when I restart the BA, it shows invalid sim message at startup. I have installed a WM6.1 ROM downloaded at this site [20749 (Build 20749.1.4.0 PV DVH) - v13] and my radio version is 1.12 (by the way, it was 1.15 but 1.12 is the only one that worked fine for my device). The same adapter, once installed on a Motorola phone of my friend works pretty fine! so, it's not a problem with the adapter, I guess...
Did you change anything on registry? could you please tell me how did you proceed since cutting the sims until you got it to work, please?
Many thanks!

This dual sim adapter only works if you have a working STK ROMs. I believe I used Helmi's original wm6 as one of them and then I went to others but I can't quite remember which. I posted an experiment with the all the ROMS I used awhile ago so just do a search under my name. Anyways, I couldn't get it to switch sims normally so I had to reset the damn thing all the time. I would go to the STK menu and choose either sim 1 or 2 and then quit out and then reset my phone for it to make the change which really is a pain. As soon as my second sim ran out I just tossed the infernal thing and stuck one sim per phone! Sorry couldn't be much more of a help.

Thanks
Thanks anyway I'll keep searching for a while.

Dual Sim Application

I have my Xda Orbit ii, In a mobile shop around i can get the dual sim thingy, which breaks my sim into two halfs and we can use either one of them at one time. Is there any application or software which enables me to use both at the same time or just a quick sim changer? Cause restrating the phone means wastage of 10mins lol.. Help

I think most dual SIM modules have the ability to dial a set number to select one or the other SIM.
There's also this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302759
A today plugin that lets you switch the SIM.
I don't think it's possible to have both at once without two SIM readers built into the device which an Orbit does not have!

In fact, it's really simple to explain (and to understand, i hope )
To have dual SIM operating together, you'll need to have 2 antennas, and 2 Radio ROMs...
If your phone only have one antenna... you'll have to switch manually from one SIM to the other...
If you're looking for a mobile with dual SIM (like in China), make sure that they have 2 antennas...
I don't know if such a mobile exists... and is powered by Windows Mobile !

x600 can't recognise, it want to "INSERT THE CORRECT SIM"
what would be the solution? some kind of accesories? is it the wrong of WM6?
