I just dropped my land line I don't miss it except for the dozen or so times a month I have to fax something, I know there are fax services out there but then I need to scan the document and pay them 10 bucks a month to fax it with their service I got to thinking surely someone out there has made a Device that hooks your fax machine to your cell phone Maybe via Blue tooth or even a Device I can shove my SIm card into that would give me a dial tone and a RJ11 jack for the fax, I kind of came up empty on google figured I would ask about it here seeing if it has to do with a cell phone someone here invented it or uses it.
there are many apps to fax directly from phone.
i had one or two, but never used so i forget what they are called..
try ppcwarez..

My phone was stolen in london yesterday. It had a PAYG sim in it, and I have been calling it and sometimes it rings. I've left messages and texts but nothing.
I have seen services like mapamobile and followus which offer triangulation tracking but the problem with this is that I don't want the theiving twat to know that I'm tracking it, and all these services send tracking notification texts ti the handset being tracked.
Does anyone know of any services or software that can track my phone?
I've been trying to postpone it ( to give the teef a chance to redeem themselves) but worst comes to worst I'll call orange and get the phone blocked.
try https://www.immobilise.com/
Get this: ORANGE can see (on screen - while I'm on the phone to them) who put their SIM in my phone by looking at the IMEI info!
They WILL NOT TELL me as this would be a breach of the information of the theiving c*nt that took my phone. I have already registered the phone stolen with the police and their response was "well if we followed ever stolen mobile phone we wouldn't be doing anything else blahblahblah"
The police said if I knew who took the phone they would go and arrest them, search their house (and find all my other items they nicked at the same time).
Does anyone know of software or a service that can track my phone from the IMEI?
Googling throws up a number of sponsored links, eg
www.mobilelocate.co.uk
Not sure if it's IMEI based. was it insured?

Unfortunately, all of these pay services send a text message to the phone that you want to locate and will only then locate that phone, once a permission to locate reply text has been be sent from that phone back the locating service.
For my circumstances, this won't help as there is no way that the theiving [email protected] is going to allow themselves to be tracked.
Any other ideas greatly apprecited (especially from orange employees hint hint) :lol:
Have you tried calling your opperator to find which cell tower its using? By this way you may get to know his location. And moreover i heard somewhere that if three towers' triangle pointings with distance may be help you to locate your phone in exact position, but i don't think theyl use this technology for finding a phone.Its only used to track terrorists
Anyway, good luck on your next device. Use precautions like my software UTA

Carty..
Carty you are exactly right, the signal can be triangulated to pinpoint it's location within a few metres however this is only really done for serious crimes, such as kidnapping, murder, terrorism etc.
But further than that, the network (orange in this case) when someone puts a SIM into a handset, that info (SIM data and IMEI) is recorded by network and for this reason I did not have the phone immediately blocked. When I spoke to Orange they could actually see who is using my phone now!, but they will not give me the info and just for theft the police don't get involved to the point where they get a court order to request that person's details.
Bloody annoying :x
Hey I think you may want to try http://www.eastmobiles.com
in australia, a stolen phone, once reported stolen with imie number. the phone is locked/blocked/bricked by all the telco's.
Hi
I love my XDA Exec to bits, but find it a bit of a pain to take out and about at evenings and weekends. I have a Jabra bluetooth headset, which works a treat, but still means finding a bag or massive pocket to store the brick in.
What I’d love to be able to do is use another, much smaller, ‘normal’ handset, using the same number, but without having to faff about changing the SIM from one to the other. I believe that some providers offer a second SIM, but I don’t think that O2 do. I’ve heard about SIM cloning, but I suspect that’s a rocky road to go down, legally.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Cheers
contact your carrier's service center and order a second sim for the same number, it should be as simple as that.
I wish it was as simple. Unfortunately, O2 won't allow me to have two SIM cards with the same number.
Vodafone has this...
What you are looking is called on Vodafone network Multicard, here in Spain Multitarjeta. I am using this with my JJ, primary card, (GSM works with data GPRS,3G and SMS) and secondary card is in my Nokia 6600 (can’t do data nor SMS). This option gives me the freedom to pickup a call on any of these two and they are on at the same time.
There is another solution, called Vodafone Nexus which is similar thing, you can have GSM+DATA+SMS on both terminals but not at the same time, one of them needs to be off.
As far as I know, only Vodafone is giving these options and it costs me 3€ per month…
Hi all, this is gonna sound dumb, I imagine, and I just don't feel like calling cingular, but before I got my tytn I didn't know anything about cellular services etc.
I just wanna know if anyone can tell me if I can get two sim cards with the same number on both?, so I can like use my other phone on days that I wanna throw my tytn, without having to pop open covers and remove batteries.
I have been told by Cingular and other provider that this in not an option. You phone number is assoitated with a SIM ID so you can only have 1 SIM ID to a phone number.
What about having two sims, different numbers but with caller redirect to the second number if Hermes phone is not answered. This way callers only ever use one number but you can answer on either phone?

Wrong, one can have one phone number on several SIMs, up to four in Europe. T-Mobile Germany, also present in the US market, i.e. offers 3 SIM cards with the same number as their "Multi SIM" product. You can operate 3 mobile phones, or any combination of phone-capable machines (PDA, PC etc.) at once, and take calls on any of the phones.
The two additional cards cost 9 euro per month in Germany, to give you a figure. Check with your service provider.
this is a service offered by most operators, in spain for example with Orange it's called "duo card" or with Vodafone it's called "twin card". Just ask Cingular about this service, they will probably ask you a monthly fee for the second sim (1-2 dollars more on each bill).
Thanks everyone, I just thought I would ask here before I called a rep and talked to them, incase I needed to mention..or not mention a few things, but after reading here, I called one local cingular store, and they said they didn't offer two sims on one number.
Mike, on that redirecting, I'm guessin I would have to add a line for the second sim? would kinda suck to pay another $10.00 a month just to avoid havin to pull a sim, but I might have to consider it.
Thanks again for the time and info everyone.

Well it might depend how often you would use it and what for. If jit's just for ocassional use without any frills what about pay as you go?
I think it would be cool if they offer this stateside. I would leave one, on a charger, in the car.
This way, the car has it's own phone. completes the whole integration thing.
Is it possible to clone a sim card and then have say an mda running with one installed and a going out phone with the other.
i'm guessing its possible but am after a step by step if anyones feeling helpful.
I wouldn't want to have both phones turned on at once if that makes it an easier process. Just getting hacked off at swapping sim all the time.
You cant clone a Sim like Hollywood Movies ... not normal Guys like you and me!
Talk with your Provider!
Same have a Service with Master Slave Cards. In Austria you can have 1 numbers and a lot of device they ring at the same time or in priority.
Cheers netrunner. Yep i probably have watched to many films. I tried to call my provider (tmob uk) but i'd have more luck getting into Angelina Jolie's knickers than speaking to someone there with an ounce of savvy.

Is it possible to clone the sim...yes...but illegal. You buy one of those 6 in 1 or 12 in 1 sim's plus reader for about $10 on ebay. (oh...only Tmobile still uses the Version 1 sim's that these can clone..everyone else has upgraded to version 2 which is uncrackable currently)
Is it possible to clone the phone..yes..but illegal....the hacking and development board has a thread on a free IMEI changer...you would have to run that and make sure both phones had the same IMEI.
---
Even if you did ALL those things there is no way you could have both on at the same time....every 20 minutes the phone reconnects with the tower...the tower is only going to allow 1 connection at a time so your connection is constantly going to switch from one to the other...and they will notice this and bad things will happen to your account and men in suits may show up at your door. The best you could manage is to turn one or the other on at a time which basically defeats the purpose.
Now go to your provider and pay them the extra for a 2nd line and use conditional call forwarding (forward to phone 2 when phone 1 doesn't answer..used to forward to voicemail normally) to accomplish the same thing.
Good thinking

Right with that clever piece of logic i'll try it with a pay as you go sim and forward from the contract one and that should do what i want. (just hope the forwarding charge comes off my free mins)
Called Tmobile uk who have told me that the call forwarding to the pay as you go sim wont cost any more and will come out of my contracted minutes.
I have fax machines, it's all set up for use on a landline. I want to be able to fax through my cell line instead of my landline. I really want to cancel the landline.
I know how to tether via USB - EDGE, I'm thinking it's basically the same steps. Set up a dial up conn, but instead of putting in the tether number (*99#) put in the number that u are faxing to. And for incoming have the fax come in your cell phone then reverse the process (cell>pc>fax machine.)

Low Tech Solution?

You might build a converter to plug the fax line out into the headpiece jack of the cell for a low (medium?) tech solution... Even that would be a project, and it wouldn't automate the process...

After a year have pass, anything new on this?
fax machine plugged into the PC via USB, WM phone connected to PC, then fax it instead of using data with internet sharing, maybe a diff prog that does voice to dial out
if that dont work i guess i have to settle for scan it then send it to PC, then fax it with internet...what are some programs or services to send fax?
