In fact I really needs this functionality as the secrets that my device holds must be kept safe.........FOREVER!

telephone number sending
Does anyone no of a wm5 application that when the sim card is changed it texts the telephone number of the new sim card to a predefined telephone number? Even better if it could be stored in memory somewhere.

does IIWPO work on wm5?
edit: my bad, of course it does:

Here's an interesting article from PocketPCMagazine on the subject:

@mdajax
LOL, good point :lol:
Wish WM5 would implement this in ROM, like Nokia on the E61 or Samsung on the E900

Caller ID Telus p4000

Hey Guys,
I have a weird question, i have a p4000 from telus in canada and i DONT have caller ID. Telus charges a ridiculous fee for it.
However when i go the caller id screen i can see the numbers of my calls for like 1/2 a second then it goes blank. This is enough that i can get my last call anyways.
Is there any way to completely unlock this via software that anyone knows??

My Telus bill is about $180/mo. (For my HTC Titan & my wife's RAZR V3c.)
...
*sob*

i think mine is 100 or so for the p4000 and the touch.

I agree on the price gouging. I stripped everything off my P4000 plan months ago. No data, no CID, no voicemail, everything except a 20$/month calling plan. I didn't do this because I don't need the features, quite the contrary. But it's my way of protesting the horrible monopoly we're stuck with in Canada. ****em, they're not getting access to my wallet until they match Sprint's unlimited data, unlimited text and 500 minutes for 30$ a month. [/END RANT]
Now, what do you mean by the "caller id screen"? Maybe there is way to hack it but I'm not sure what you're referring to.

I'm referring to the screen you get when you are at the phone screen and you press the button named: Call History
I couldn't find a shot of it in its default state but here is what it looks like if you have the contact photos addon:

Software SIM card possible ?

Hi everybody
I'm wondering if any of you know whether it's possible to dump the contents of a SIM card in the phone's memory, then to be able to use the phone without the physical sim card present.
I'm engaged with two providers, to which one belongs a SIM card, and I'm forced to open my phone and switch cards when I want to switch from one network to the other... that's really unconvenient !
The point would be to have both SIM cards dumped in my phone's memory, and choose one from a software option.
I'm using a WM6 flashed HTC P3300, if that's of any use.
Thanks a lot !

I never heard about virtual SIMcard in unit memory - but you have standard solution - dualsim ( you can find different solutions - but check before buy - not all working proprly with WM phone .

thanks for your answer
this not exactly not what I need, but I'll check in that way too

No that's pretty much exactly what you need.
You want to be able to use two carriers simultaneously (or at least psuedo simultaneously) without opening the phone and manually changing SIM cards.
As far as I know this is the ONLY way to do that. And it's still not perfect. Like he said make sure the device you get is 3G compatible or it won't work right. Also if you look around they have a device that looks like vice grips with a small cookie cutter welded to it. This is what you need to cut the sim chip. you can try with a scissors but try explaining to your wireless carrier why you need a new sim card.
Also it's tough ordering over the internet because you need to make sure that whatever you get will actually fit in your specific phone (they are all designed to take a standard sim chip but NONE are "designed" to take one of these things. some work in some phones but not in others. The newer ones (which you'll need since you need 3G) usually have an "automatic" setting which basically switches back and forth between carriers without you touching it.
Good luck!

Or u can use Super SIM read here http://www.nowgsm.com/GSM6in1.htm

i also wanted to do the same thing - has anybody tried such a dual sim adapter in a treo by a chance?
also, the sim cards are definitely v2 as they've been issued within the last year and have 3g compatibility;
i'd really love to hear if it worked for somebody before i go ahead and cut the chip out of my sims

HTC Snap (Telus) into GSM in canada ?

Hello is it possible to make a CDMA Telus Canada HTC Snap, work on Rogers Canada GSM networks, i see there is a Sim Card Spot for international Roaming but i was wondering is there a way too unlock it so i can use it on Rogers here in Toronto ?

Good news for Canadian readers – not only is the HTC Touch Pro 2 and HTC Snap going to show up soon Telus, but the CDMA EVDO devices will also be so-called World Edition devices ie. they will contain GSM circuitry allowing the devices to be used outside the confines of North America on GSM networks in Europe, East and Africa.
It appears such World Edition devices are becoming increasingly common on CDMA networks as the technology faces inevitable winding down in the near future.

I went to BestBuy to see a Snap today.
They don't even have the common courtesy to have devices that boot. Like you can easily see how it works by just looking at it.
Lame.

The HTC snaps they have don't have a trackball (which I would prefer).
here is what they have.

Just an update. Not sure if anybody is still wondering about this... but i have successfully unlocked a Telus HTC Snap and am currently using full data / exchange etc.
just have to update the gprs settings. also it thinks it is roaming.
I wanna get a custom 6.5 ROM on it, but I have yet to verify if anybody has been able to do it successfully. Anybody know? Maybe i will start a new thread...

How did you get it working, because I have a htc tytn II that I can't get working on the data with Telus im using wm6.5, do I have to go back to 6.1.
Thanks in advance and God Bless.

Is it possible to take out the d-pad from a snap and replace the trackball?

Help- master reset took away unlock status!!!

I have a sprint phone working on the tmobile network since October without any issue until last week when i have to send it to samsung to repair the speaker. Got the phone this morning and it seems that samsung did a master reset and revert the unlock status. The funny things is that i called sprint few times today and the phone appear unlock on their system and told me that there was nothing they could do that i should call samsung. The Costumer service rep from samsung told me that it was posible that the master reset reverted the unlock status and that she created a case #bc she didnt know how to fix this and that someone will contact me regarding this issue in the next 72hrs.
I spent about 4 hr calling sprint, samsung and tmobile trying to fix thus issue and they for the most part just play ping-pon with me so if someone know how to fix this issue please let me know
Thanks

Select "Permanent Unlock"
For me, my device was already unlocked... so unlocking it fails.
Otherwise, it should say that it was successful.

Just did a temp unlock on mine. Have 30 days. Can i use another firmware to flash Nougat?
