Hi All, Just purchased my 1st WP7 Device and love it..... Only problem is that there is no access to SIM Card APPs. I know for most that this is not a big issue but for me here in Kenya, its a GAME CHANGER!!! We use a mobile money transfer system called M-Pesa here and its like the MOST Convinent thing in the world, I send Money to any of the 18Million subscribers and they recieve it in Seconds. I have spent a week scouring the internet for information and there seems to be a general concensus that Sim Access in WP7 is not available??!?!?!?!... Please tell me this aint so!! XDA you are my last hope. If there is anyone out there who can create an App for SIM Application Access.... ??? HELP!!!
Well, never noticed it, since sim apps are useless since a long time in my country but...yes.
It seems that WP7 don't support (yet ?) sim apps :/
Maybe a dev could devellop a homebrew to allow it?! (not really sure)
Yup..... Any Dev's out there who can help???
Post your request in the "general WP7" section
Nobody read the e900 part ^^
SIM apps and SIM access in general is ... lacking in WP7 as the primary markets that Microsoft is targeting as of now have all moved beyond SIM apps.

another useless app
http://www.pdaclub.pl/upload/DKtoday_freeware.zip
It shows operator name (only) signal power and unaswered call
why is so difficult to put a custom s**t gif ?
damn
sigh
This is a very unfair post. :evil: If the app isn't for you don't use it. No need to be very critical for no reason. The author of this software has been kind enough to post it for free. If there was a charge perhaps criticism could be valid, but there isn't. The only other app AFAIK that does this is PhoneDashboard, which is shareware and levies a charge for the registered version. Personally, I think something like this is useful. Especially if, like me, you have two SIM cards in the phone at the same time.
Please be a little more refrained before making posts like this in the future.
dont really get why people want that operator logo anyway
me i know the name of the operator i'm connected to so why should i put a comercial on my today screen for them ?
most likely for dual sim.

Spot on. I bought PhoneDashboard a short time before seeing the post for DKs free app.
Have just installed a dual-sim holder in my O2 XDA II. My contract is with O2, but in some parts of the village where I live the reception is really poor so I have an Orange PAYG SIM. It's VERY useful to know which operator is active at a glance. I only want to use the Orange on rare occasions.
Operator Logo wont help you with a dual sim when you are abroad.
More important then is to know WHICH SIM is active.
One of the members here (I promised not to mention his name so he can work quietly on this) is currently developing a SIM Swichter app with Today applet that does all this & more.
Should arrive shortly!!!
I am sure a new thread will be started when its available!
Hello all,
I've ran into some troubles with my device, since I have it running with a unlimited data transfer flatrate, that sim is blocked for incomming and outgoing phonecalls.
Solution on this trouble should be one of the dual sim adapters, which leads me to another problem. Since it seems to be impossible on my HTC Uni to have two simultaneous active cards running, the data one would be the usual active one for my needs.
But how to get the device automatically activating that sim, while its sleeping on an incomming phone call? Preferably without any costs on the data sim and extra costs on the phone sim either for me nor for the calling party.
Call deflection an possible option?
Since its probably a common issue im ashamed that I couldnt find any solution. Would be nice if I could still get some reply.
Thanks in advance,
Real.

Actually, I don't recall any dual SIM adaptor allowing 2 SIMs online at the same time. Looks like you need a phone able to handle that specific feature.
Your phone is able to handle 2 different lines at the same time ... but on the same SIM card. Some Operators used to provide this type of plan. A plan, 2 different numbers ... But same Operator !
I've heard that ETEN will release a Dual SIM PDAPhone (DX900) : http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/Eten-DX900-is-dual-SIM-smartphone-article-a_2805.html
Anyway, I've been looking for the answer ... But, nothing yet.
Here is a workaround

This really sounds interesting, since I've got both of my most frequently used sims at the same provider. (Telefone/- and Dataflat)
Maybe my provider is willing to attach them both sims into one, or else theres still the chance of "doing by self". Another point is that those contracts dont have such a long lifetime anymore, so most likely this will be pretty mutch possible.
Sounds way better than buying a new phone, with the possibility of using two sim cards simultaneously.
Only one thing troubles me, since I've wrote about the HTC Adv beeing the mentioned device while it is Universal. Does that one have that feature aswell? I hope and pray, since this seems to be my last chance of having it more user friendly.
Any reply mutch obliged,
Real.
Hello,
I'm from Belgium and I need to use the G1 for my work. I would like to use it without a sim card (or make the phone using the data of mine) but it seems impossible for the device to connect on internet.
I have just received the device today and I really need help. I have tried to find something on the forum but the only interesting thing I have found seems to say that it is possible.
Google is even worse than Apple which is already worse than Microsoft.. is there any good company in this world...
what do you mean use it without a sim card? As in the telephony and data connections with having to use a t-mobile sim card or any simcard?
This is a sim card phone meaning it has to have a simcard in order for you to use the telephony or edge/3g connections. No way around that.
And on a side note, if you want help you probably shouldn't spread your opinions about things that you don't know about and things you make assumptions for.
I can get into Android without having a Sim card inserted on Dev Phone. WLAN works without it.
But when there is a card inserted I cannot skip Sim pin to do things without having mobile operator service.

This is a "device" that is able of making call... this is not a phone.. you can't call iphones and htc devices "phones"... I don't care about the phone feature, I just need a small device with linux. If it was a phone, it would not need a gmail account... don't talk about things you don't know.

the fact is that no sim card is working... I'm currently using 3G with my HTC Shift, and using Edge/Gprs with my HTC Touch .. and no problem.. but the HTC Dream doesn't recognize the data plan !
I guess I know much more than you .. and my opinion is like 99% of user should be having this issue... what kind of phone are impossible to use like that ? I have 3 months to make a big project on that phone and I don't even know if it is possible to make it work without playing with hardspl.
That's crazy to see more protection than iPhones, and other htc phones.... 2 weeks to be able to order the phone and then I don't even know if we can make it work in this country ... GREAT !

Your issue is an APN issue.
Read one of the APN threads or learn to use the search Mr. Know-it-all.
this phones is from US and from AT&T i think... andi want to use another sim with this phone,
since the phone is new there is a requirements to activate it by registering
but my problem is I cant register it since im not using the tie up sim with this phone....
is there any way to bypass this registration so that i can use this phone?
its done!
thanks
problem solve
You are in the HTC DREAM section. Please find a forum focused on your phone.
hey,
just got the Samsung Focus using Windows Phone 7 in my hands,
unfortunately it's locked by AT & T ,
and I need the PIN for UNLocking it, to use it with my SIM card...
I don't have the active AT&T SIM ,
so I stuck
Thanks a lot !
I was in the same problem until I contacted Nimda at NCKZONE and they did unlock it to me very simply.
You can check their website to buy the unlock code at:
wwwDOTnckzoneDOTcom
It really worked for me.
I think you can buy using paypal and Moneybookers accounts.
I'm sorry I will not be here for the following month to reply on this thread.
Please don't ask me anything after my reply to not waste your time
There is a thread discussing this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834068
hey,
I've already read that thread,
tried calling AT & T , they said they can't give me the code until May 2011
the thread suggests buying the code from Ebay for ~ $ 30
any other option ?
I'm was hoping for something like Ultrasn0w coming on Windows Phone 7,
which was able to unlock the carrier for iPhones
is anything like Ultrasn0w for WP7 being developed ?
we desperately need a Universal SIM UNlock solution for WP7 Phones...
I understand WP7 is very new, but I certainly hope it gets atleast 10 % of the community that iPhone has
no one knows when ultrasn0w like tech will come on wp7 but if you want a fully functional focus then buy the unlock code from nckzone.
Hi: I have unlock mine with Fast GSM. look for fastgsm with google
It worked perfect, it's permanent. I did a hard reset after the unlocking and it's working fine. Keep in mind to add your APN to get data access. It was the cheapest service I found and you don't need to wait. You make it directly
+1 for fastgsm. you will download their windows app and put your Focus in USB diagnostics mode to unlock. price is $20 cheaper than those sold in eBay
