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.
just to update everyone
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.

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?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/xda-IIs-III-L...450764652QQcategoryZ43805QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
And also
Do u hav to switch on and off to use the other sim card or is it the one which gives u a option to choose from sim 1 and sim2 without switching it off?
Thanx again

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
hi
i am awaiting delivery of 2 different type of dual sims,
one which requires the sim card to be trimmed

the other will take 2 sims with out cutting sim cards
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-No-Cut-Du...ryZ43805QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
also i will try a sim card reader/writer if both of above fails
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-USB-MAGIC...ryZ27330QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

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)?

Yeah it works fine with the orange sim cards, its an amazing piece of kit, not cheap tho!
If only it would work with v1.2 and v2 sims it would be mint!

Hi all,
Has anybody came across these:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9102090186&fromMakeTrack=true
I can work out it's one sim card that can hold up to 12 by copying them using a device. I only ask as i'm using the dual ghost sim card and for it to work you need to crop your sim cards to fit.
This badger seems to be a lot easier (ie no cutting involved) and can hold 12 sims on it.
Is anybody using one or know if they work? It says they work on V.1 & V.2 simcards. what sim cards does the universal use?
I opened the thread as these might save us from cutting sim cards up.
Hope someone can shed some light, cheers
Yohanson
yohanson: have a search for clone sim and dual sim on the forum.
Won't work in the UK if you have a SIM card newer then 2 years old AFAIK.
V
there is one that works with a V3 sim card which i suppose to the newer sim cards
I bought something similar from ebay. The software supplied couldn't crack the encryption on my sim card. See this thread:

One of my kids inserted the ATT sim card without the tray. That is, he just slid the bare sim card into the slot.
I can't figure out how to get it out of the slot!
Any suggestions realllly appreciated.

Did you try tweezers? I put a microSD card in wrong and I used tweezers to pull it back out with minimal damage. Hope I can be of assistance.

I have a new N900 and inserted a SIM and SD card into their respective slots. I didn't notice any spring pushing against me when I inserted them. Now, I can't get them out, because there's no "push" when I push the cards to disengage them. The phone service and SD card is working while in the slots. Is this the way it's suppose to be? I got the cards out with a fine tweezer. Is there something wrong with my particular unit?

is it possible to play 2 sims + sd card simultaneously, because i tried it once, with no result , in this phone,
You should not have the space to put all 3 together. You can do 2 sim OR 1 sim 1 sd.

Yes i have it like that , buy you must "destroy" the one sim, unglue the chip from the plastic, and if you are lucky and the chip from sim is small you fit it easy if not, like my case i buy 3 sims to find one with small chip inside .

1. are you sure you have dual sim phone?
2. do you put the 2nd-sim on the right place (mark the sd card with the original-sim to see exactly where to fit it)
3. if 2 is ok is the 2nd sim at the right direction ?
i made mine , and say a fried of mine how to do it and he do it, both works fine
