Where's the best place to get a sim converter? I guess the S3 uses a micro sim, and I'd like to keep my Captivate as a backup which uses standard sim.

Anyone found a dual sim with no cut option for raphael?
Theres simply no room for that nside the Raphael.
I would recommend a cut version (and do buy the special plyers to cut).
I use a 13th gen DUAL SIM that switches via SIMToolkit very neat. Bought on Ebay.
I even get to see the active Phonenumber (as setup in the SIMToolkit) in Manila Homescreen.
Can you write someone more about runnig this dual card in STK and upload working version of STK here?
My mind is semi-blown, you mean people are using two different sim cards in one phone?
Dual SIM card adapters make it possible to use (generally) 2 SIMs in your phone. Only one of he SIMs can be active at any time (remember the phone only has one radio).
As there is hardly any unused room inside modern phones the best option is to use a 'cut'-type dual SIM adapter.
1st what you do is, is cut your two SIM's neatly round the brass contact's. You can use special plyers to do that more safeky.
2nd you put these two cut SIMs into the adapter. The adapter has the dimensions and shape of a SIM.
3rd Put the adapter in the SIM slot in your phone and youre done.
The 13th Geneation Dual SIM adapter that I use, uses the SIM Toolkit (STK) application to switch the active SIM. This appears to be reliable. The STK hooks into the software of the Dual SIM adapter. On my phone it even presents itself as 'Dual SIM Card' in the programs folder.
The Dual SIM adapter i have appears to also work under WM 6.5 and also supports GPRS, Edge, 3G, .....I have used this adapter on my previous Wizard and am using it now in my Raphael.
I have N4 from T-Mobile, but I decided to give it to my mother. Since she had standard SIM, we went to her provider and they cut it into micro SIM. But when I insert this new micro SIM card into phone, it isn't recognized. It shows there is no SIM card at all. My card works. Is this a know problem? How can it be fixed?

Cutting isn't perfect, especially with older SIMs... It is entirely possible to render the SIM unusable by cutting it, granted it usually works, especially with newer SIMs, but not always. Verify the contacts match up by comparing to your SIM and if it does then the most likely cause is the cutting ruined the SIM and you will need to contact her provider for a new SIM. There is no known issue with using a cut SIM other than this.

The Nexus 4 doesn't like cut sims. Although they can work, many users have issues.
So I currently have a moto x which uses nano sim cards. I might pick up a S5 which of course uses micro sim. I still have my old, now inactivated micro sim card. Can I still use that or will I have to go to a Verizon store to get a new micro sim? thanks. Problem is I don't have the nano sim card removal kit for my X so I don't know how to remove that. So I wasn't sure if I just removed it, an popped in the old micro sim, would that work.

Nano sim won't work in the S5. Micro will. Whether it would be best to use an old Micro-Sim, I can't say. I have a new one for mine and it works just fine.

Nano sim will work with a Nano-micro adapter. Usually with our old micros, they make use get new ones to activate service on a phone (I've never had them let me use one that's been deactivated before, your mileage may vary though).
I recommend going to a Verizon Store, you'll get the proper SIM card, with the proper activation and provisioning, I had issues transferring SIM cards from phone to phone, like call dropping, phone not ringing, slow download speed or spotty 4G connection.
Hi all,
Does anybody have a problem with data on the second SIM?
You can choose on which SIM you want to use data.
It works on SIM 1 but doesn't on SIM 2.
APN settings are 100% correct.
I have tested the SIM in another phone and data works there.
I've now ordered a nano-SIM to micro-SIM adapter from ebay to test it in the SIM 1 slot.
Quite annoying.
Maybe bcause sim 2 slot works only in 2g
Hello folks,
I've just done the One UI update on my SM-G9650 dual SIM S9+ and my dual SIM Simore adapter that allows the use of my MicroSD with my 2nd SIM no longer works.
Looks like Samsung's put a soft-block on using a MicroSD & a 2nd SIM at the same time.
Is there a way to Re-enable this feature?
