Quick question regarding the DZ09 Smartwatch GSM SIM. As it's capable of a SIM card for independent use as a phone does "Verizon" link it with your phone or would be a new phone number? Thanks, Howie

If you put a simcard in your watch yes, that would be another number, if not you can use it without simcard as a common smartwatch by keeping, through bluetooth, your calls messages and notifications in sync with your android phone
Thanks! Unfortunately that's what I thought

am interested in using my 2g O2 sim & my 3g O2 sim in the exec, as i have 2 separate contracts. What product would you recommend? will the XDA II ghost dual sim holder fit/work? and is the combination of 2g & 3g sims possible? Thanks
dual sim holder
just oredred an xda exec and have the same query regarding dual sim holders. i will be using orange and 3 network sim. has anyone found out if the xda2s dual sim holder is compatible with this device?? thanks in advance
How do these work then? Say I'm using one sim for voice and one for data, obviously I can't use both at the same time (or can I?). So, when I want to go online, do I press some key combo and then the handset soft resets? Can it be made to automatically redirect all calls to the other sim and then cancel diverts when I swap back?
normally 2 sim cards go into a holder and the holder has a single sim which goes into the phone. you turn phone on and ONLY ONE sim card is active the other is effectivtly off. turn phone off and on (in our case flight mode) and the SECOND sim is active and first one is off. with some software from wivit you can actually control which sim is on/off from the phone itsel without switching phone on/off and some digital holders provide that facility via STK software built into the XDA phones. that is how twin sims work, but the main question is has anyone tried this with the EXEC model just yet???
So xiasma you could use one for voice and one for data and try to remember which one is on and which is off.

i took the gamble and bought a dual sim card holder designed for the II/IIi and tried it in my EXEC, and............ IT DIDNT FIT!!! hehehe
guess we'll have to wait for a dedicated EXEC dual sim holder

I made it fit!!
I have the same dual sim card holder and in order to make it fit I removed Exec's sim card holder. You can easily remove it by pulling it carefully out. It's pretty easy. Afterwards, place the dual sim card without the sim holder and overturn it. Then place the battery over it and with little push you'll hear the "clip" sound which means that the battery is placed. Finally, place the plastic cover and voila!
nope, tried it. there is no way u can place it under the battery without causing IMMENSE pressure underneath it. will wait till they release one that can lay over the battery as opposed to under it.

Yes, actually a dual sim holder that could lay over the battery would be better.
However, it's not that bad as you describe. Did you REMOVE the pda's sim card holder before trying doing what I did?? This way you gain more space under the battery.
Hi all

No, I haven't tried to mix a 2g sim card with a 3g one. Ive done it only wit h 2g ones.
I have also trimmed cards but not for this specific dual card holder. I did it for another one that you had to switch off the phone and on again to change the active number and it worked pretty well.
Hi Demon
Thanx for quick reply
Whats the name of ur dual sim holder which ur using for exec and is this the one which i need?

It's the one you have to switch off and on again your phone and I bought it for my XDA IIs I had before from the guy of your link.
Just bear in mind that sometimes it doesn't work on Exec. I mean that even if you switch off and on again, the sim card doesn't change and you've got to do it again. I don't know why this happens, I didn't have such problems with this dual sim card on my XDA IIs.
Did anyone manage to find a dual sim holder that works with 3G USIMs?
I could really do with one, but am struggling to find one

For a start that's a fake product, so god knows how it will perform.
see here http://www.sim-max.com/?language=en...d.php&main=newspage.php&down=en_copyright.htm
I have a sim max reader and 12 in 1 card, but they only work with V1 sim cards (All I've managed to clone is a cpl of really old Orange sim cards)
All the others either just don't copy, or don't copy and feck your sim card!
Nice idea tho :roll:
Hi Hollinshead
Were u able to use them as advertised , like change to different no.s and were able to make calls with them (the old orange sim cards u copied)?

Hello,
is there any possibility to know what sim of a dual sim is activated???
i want to write a plugin (homescreen eg.) that shows me ok sim 1 or sim 2 ...
maybe there's an internal sim serial or so that we can readout the phone and use??
please help
thx steve
I had the same thought when I got mine.
I just use phonealarm - the scroller can be set up to display the current phone number.
Takes a couple of minutes to update, but works well.
Folks
Can I ask which dual sim adaptor are you using with your Hermes, and which networks?

Dual sim adaptor 10th generation (with Sim Tool Kit) and two 64k or more SIM cards, network doesn't matter.

sim status switcher
Hi,
i have become the wm2003 software of wiVmobile to run under the tytn...
only problem i have is that i don't become a phone nr. of my sim???
what is the problem??
did not all operators show the number??
ok... a few steps more...
to view the nr. i have to add under program /sim/ extras/eigene nr...
but how can i read out that volume in programming???
the sim swichter tools is very unstable...
i only want 1line in today wheres the nr. displayed nothing more..
can someone help ??
please+
If you want to program yourself...
I saw many apps showing IMSI code of the SIM. This code is unique for each SIM.
...
anyone knows a programm that reads such fings? and shows on home screen??
or is there any app available that reads out the phone nr. of the sim and shows on home screen??
steve
Apologies for delay in replying.
PhoneAlarm does do what you want, you just need a skin with a scroller region. Not all skins have them, including the ones you get by default. Try the SWIIQVGA or HGS6 skins. You'll also need to go into config to set the Telephone # as being displayed in the scroller.
You can create your own skins too. If you want you can create a skin with only a scroller region and set it to only display the tel # I suppose. Should be able to set the size of the text too.
BTW I use the sam as Pof. Works OK, if you can overcome your fear of taking a pair of scissors to your SIM cards.
I have my Xda Orbit ii, In a mobile shop around i can get the dual sim thingy, which breaks my sim into two halfs and we can use either one of them at one time. Is there any application or software which enables me to use both at the same time or just a quick sim changer? Cause restrating the phone means wastage of 10mins lol.. Help

I think most dual SIM modules have the ability to dial a set number to select one or the other SIM.
There's also this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302759
A today plugin that lets you switch the SIM.
I don't think it's possible to have both at once without two SIM readers built into the device which an Orbit does not have!
In fact, it's really simple to explain (and to understand, i hope )
To have dual SIM operating together, you'll need to have 2 antennas, and 2 Radio ROMs...
If your phone only have one antenna... you'll have to switch manually from one SIM to the other...
If you're looking for a mobile with dual SIM (like in China), make sure that they have 2 antennas...
I don't know if such a mobile exists... and is powered by Windows Mobile !

Dear friend I suggest you to buy the latest dualsim adapter ...
As far as I know is the 16th generation.
It cost about 16 to 20 euro and allow to switch simcard without power off.
Search on ebay
I hope I have been use full
Greetings
i bought this 16th sim adapter. but i can't us it. I've a Glofiish X600.
x600 can't recognise, it want to "INSERT THE CORRECT SIM"
what would be the solution? some kind of accesories? is it the wrong of WM6?
Hello,
I am having some problems with my multi simcard (from vodafone)
This simcard is ment to be used as an datasim so it can share the data between mobile phone and other devices , like a tablet.
Both simcard's work inside my phone, but the extra sim (the datasim) does not work in the smartwatch.
The original simcard works like a charm in either my phone or smartwatch but the extra simcard ( the datasim) works only in my phone.
I have already unlocked the new sim (the datasim) so i dont have to put in a pincode to use the simcard.
I have looked all over the internet for a sollution but have not found on yet, i hope someone of you can help me out.
The smartwatch is use: Finox X5 Plus, firmware version: X5PLUS-v.s. 170327-1490607306
The phone i use: Samsung galaxy S7
Thanks in advance!
PS; English is not my native language so sorry for maybe not using correct spelling
Don't know if this is true on Vodaphone, but I read a thread by a US X5 smartwatch owner who had AT&T setup the SIM card for her smartwatch. The AT&T representative had to initiate the SIM with a phone IMEI. Only after the SIM was initiated as a phone SIM, was the X5 IMEI able to be linked to the SIM. If your data SIM works in the phone, maybe you need to speak to Vodaphone to link your watch's IMEI to the SIM.
Im not really sure how duel sim works, i did a brief search but couldnt find the answer i was looking for.
I have a work phone and a personal phone. If the 6t has duel sim am i able to put the sim from my work and personal in it and receive calls and messages from each on the single device? Would i have to switch between which sim i want to use or can both be active at the same time?
Thanks in advance

What would be the point of having a dual SIM if you had to physically switch them? You can use them both evidently.

It's called dual standby.
Both are in the phone, one is the primary the other is secondary.
Primary has all functions including data. Secondary is only calls and SMS.
Primary/Secondary can be switched.

This is correct. If you want to read up on it Google DSDS (dual sim dual standby) DSDA (dual sim dual active). From everything I've read DSDA is less common these days and it required 2 imei's whereas DSDS only requires one imei. A lot of the switching is software based. Any further technical reading is beyond me.
It's great. You do have to pay attention though; it opens up a a new vector to text or call the wrong person when juggling multiple communications.
There are 2 IMEI on the 6t, meaning DSDA
I have some questions about dual sim also...Never used one before. We are considering getting a 6T for my wife because she has her personal phone (T-Mobile) and her work phone (AT&T) that she carries around everywhere. From reading these threads I understand how the calls and data work I think...You only get data on one at a time, but calls in or out on both. But what about contacts from two different carriers (T-Mo) and (AT&T)? Does it just bury them all together or does it separate the two to keep things apart? Thanks in advance for any insight on this and anything else I may need to know about using dual sims.

What do you mean about contacts from the two carriers?
Are they located in two separate google accounts?
Is one set on Outlook and the other on Google?
I'm using the phone on T-Mobile and Verizon and calls and SMS use intelligent routing/return based on the SIM the call/SMS was received.
You do need to turn on that option.
As far as contacts. If you have two Google accounts, I'm not sure.
My Outlook contacts stay in the app and when I dial them I use SIM2 as my personal contacts are Google and all are SIM1.
Hope that helps.
