Guys,
I am looking for a suitable dual sim card adaptor. I had a look to our sim card holder in the trinity and to some dual sim card adaptors on ebay, but some of them are not compatible for sure with the trinity because of the sim card holder.
Could you guys recommend me any appropriate dual sim card adaptor (without cutting them) ?
Cheers

I am using this dualsim adapter. The tenth generation is working fine (5th version was not working), but you have to cut your sim-cards.
Does this adaptor work with UMTS (3G) SIM-Cards?
Thanks for the quick feedback.
I have just ordered the dual sim card (without the need to cut).

type 7 & 10.
The thing is that I do not want to cut them because if I make a mistake I have to pay for the new original sim cards
What do you guys think about the type 7 & 10?
Also, is this dual sim card adaptor fully operational for the 3G?
I have one card which is 2G and the second one whch is 3G, is it a problem for the trinity?
Also, how do you switch? Via a software? or is it built in the dual sim adaptor?
Thanks

I don't have an USIM for 3G usage. I am not sure if it works with 3G. In a Hermes dualsim thread a hear some different sounds (some simcards are working other not).
I switch simcards by using the sim toolkit. The simcard menu is changed form the provider menu to simcard switch menu.
I don't think type 7 & 10 fits in the Trinity case. There is not much space left.
Cutting your SIM cards is not a trivial task, I bought a twin-sim about 6 months back that was recommended on a forum, as working with the magician phone I had.
I still was highly skeptical, so I bought some cheap (£1) sim cards from ebay, cut three of them, and could not get them to work, either in the twin sim, or in the "restore" card.
For some people, it obviously works, unfortunately not for me, next time I need one I will try to modify a cheap spare battery to hold a low profile twin-sim, where you don't have to cut the cards. (On some batteries there is a LOT of insulation around them, where some insulation can be removed.)
But if you want to go down the route of cutting cards, use old sim cards first, is my suggestion.
Well,
I will receive the dual sim car adaptor this week (type 7 & 10). I will let you know. I have already made a simulation, I have put another sim card under the battery to see if the cover will close, it worked. Theoreticcaly that should be fine. I have ordered 2 of them in case one does not fit.
Cheers
Cutting was not a problem with my cards! It works perfectly!
However the only adaptor that works with UMTS (3G) SIM-Cards is the one without the online menu. You have to turn the phone off, then on to change the cards! (Switching to Flightmode and back is enough)
However there will be an adaptor with the online-menu by the end of this month or in february...

What do you mean by "the only adaptor that works with UMTS (3G) SIM-Cards"? Are you talking about the adaptor where you have to cut the sim cards or the dual sim cards where cutting is not required? Do you think that with my adaptor (no cut) it will work then?
I don't think so, if you have UMTS cards. The only on that works is with cutting.
Have a look here: http://www.2-phones-in-1.com/
It is the third one from above... (Universal Dual Sim CDMA)
Guys,
I've received the dual sim cards adaptors today. Indeed, it does not work with both types. It says, sim card is not recognized.
I'll try with my XDAIIi this evening just to check.
Is the dual sim card adaptor where you HAVE to cut is the only option then?
Guys!!!,
I've ordered the 10th generation dual sim adaptor (where you need to cut the sim cards).
The guy send me the 12th generation one...
Yesterday, I decided to cut the original sim cards. After 45 minute of work, I tried it in my HTC, it did not work!
Then, I tried it in a normal phone, it also did not work, I thought it is because it is not the 10th genration.
I thought, if I put some pressure on top of the sim card, some paper between the sim card and the battery, it might work, and yes it worked on the normal phone (2G) !!!
Then, Came the ultime moment... try it on the HTC Trinity...
I put the sim card holder into the HTC. Put a paper on top of the sim, put the battery and put a pressure on it, AND YES , it works great man!!!
The icon DUal Sim Card is available and I can swtich from one network to the other one.!
The flight mode thing (on/off) does not work... We have to go via the STK menu which is user friendly...
The 3G also works great. I see the 3G logo and I've made several video conference. So I am really happy...

Um, if you are talking about altering a battery casing, I'd be very careful about that. I just heard on the news last week that some guy had is moble phone battery blow up while it was in his pocket. He got severly burned and caught the house on fire too. These lithium ion batteries are not something to rip open. I suppose everone has heard of the big Sony laptop battery thing too. Be careful.
SayBorg,
Where exactly did you buy this adapter?
I see there is also a 13th generation availible at this moment but they say this one does not support 3G.
13th Generation
Do you have the 3G Dual Sim, which is on the same site?
Hi,
I bought it from ebay. There are many there. Just make a search. You'll see them.
Mine is 12th and it works. I can not say anything about the 10th or 13th. But if it works on the 12th, I would imagine it also works on the 13th...

Can you tell me something about the battery consuming?
My dualsim adapter consumes a lot of battery power.
With dualsim my battery drains from 100% till 30% (normal usage).
Without dualsim the battery is around 80% at the end of the day.
Which dual sim adaptor do you have?
I've not paid attention to the battery consumption...
I will have a look and let you know
I have a Pinchuang 10th generation.
Which (brand) dual sim adaptor do you have?
A 3G dualsim adapter sounds attractive.
Mine is also pinchuang, but 12th generation.
Battery consumption seems higher but it's too early to confirm it...
The priority for me is to be able to switch sim cards, u can always charge your HTC, that's a negligeable side effect I guess..
DUAL SIM problem on HTC P3600
hi to all,
since two year, i'm using a dualsim adaptator, (two cutted sim) whith no problem on my QTEK 7070, SPV C500, QTEK 9090, QTEK 9100!!! (wonderfull)
but now, on my HTC P3600, this same dual sim have one problem:
when i use the dualsim, my miniSD card run very slowly, but the dualsim run perfectly.... when i use a un-cutted SIM card, my HTC P3600 run wonderfully... and my MiniSD is running FAST!!!
is this append to anyone else?
how do you solve this?
Waiting for Nexus 4. Activating the micro-SIM means T-Mo terminates existing mini-SIM. So, I want to be sure the N4 fully works before shutting off the existing SIM. What can I do to make sure everything works on the N4 before terminating exisiting phone? Also, what will I be able to do without SIM? Can I download apps/widgets from PlayStore via wifi without SIM? Thanks for your help.
I'm not sure how you can test everything, but I'd test the speaker, play some videos, download some apps on WiFi...just things I would do everyday. So long as you have WiFi you should be able to do everything on your phone except call and send SMS.
And if you're worried about terminating the mini-SIM, why not pick up a mini-to-micro adapter? That way you can activate the new SIM and if something doesn't work right use the adapter and use the new mini-SIM in your old phone. My T-Mobile store had them for about $5. I needed it right away, but if you don't there are tons for ~$1 or less on Amazon.
You can do everything but use it as a phone..

Just trim your SIM. That's what I did.
I actually have one of those cheap ass micro sim cutters and the thing broke on me, so I just used scissors to finish it
Google a pic of a micro sim, and cut your's to same shape.
Just cancel and if it don't work just get a sim adapter

Thanks to all
Thanks to everyone. Got it. Without a SIM, can do everything but phone related things. And, a micro adaptor will allow use of the microSIM in a miniSIM phone. Easier than I thought. Thanks again.
Folks,
can i put my iphone 5 nano sim in the Galaxy S4 without an adapter. seems all local store here dont have such an adaptor.
Im gonna buy an S4 and i want to test the the phone works with my nano sim at the store.... Will i encounter any issue getting in and out ?
thanks

It wont fit properly. You can always do ghetto cellotape method which works but might cause frequent problems of sim card read error due to sim coming off the tape.
You can also make your own adaptor using old sim card and scotch/cello tape.
And adaptors are easily available at local stores here and ebay / amazon.
Just sim alone wont fit directly. Nano sim is narrow in width as well as length.
