Just got the SM-P610 and liking it a lot. I noticed that the SD card tray has a spot for a SIM card as well. After looking in the slot it appears to have contacts for a SIM card to be accepted. Upon inserting my SIM and turning on the device it appears to not work. Now here's the question, Does the tablet have the hardware to actually accept a SIM card and connect to the towers. Along with that, is it software locked in some way? Can we bypass this lock somehow?
I guess the motherboard of the P610 and P615 are different, the frame with slot is standard for Galaxy Tab S6 lite
Boards and SIM/microSD reader are exactly the same between 610 and 615: https://fccid.io/A3LSMP615/Internal-Photos/2-A3LSMP615-Internal-photo-4647951 (see the "SM-P615/610" text printed on the boards) except that the 610 lacks some antennas and I guess the software is different too.
The pbc is the same between the two but the 610 is missing some ics, id assume they are for the lte.
Is it possible to put a sim card in SM-P610

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.
Hi there,
So, My dad just bought this beast. first impression is really amazing. So, To get started, I cutted down my sim card into micro-sim and Inserted it in yureka. after booting, It shows no sim card. When I search for networks and Click on any network for registration, It says "Your sim card does not support on this connection" something like that. I have checked the sim and it is working in other smartphones.
Just in case, I have cm11 in it. Not updated yet. any help would be appreciated. Sorry, If i posted in wrong section
EDIT: CHECK THE ATTACHMENT. Sim slot looks different as compared to others. I am from india.
Test the sim to both slots and see if one of them working. And if no slot works out, then try other micro sim to test sim working. If that too not working,means slot are not functioning. Need hardware replacement or whatever you can get.
Well, I already tried in both of them. Not sure about other micro sims.
Hi Everyone, my research found that I can insert 2 Sims in any s8 but only on some market the 2nd tray is enabled. Seems that in Germany it is not.
Is there a way in how to unlock it? And use a normal s8 with dual sim and best would be still get OTA updates
The second tray for micro sd card I guess. Not for the SIM card.
No the tray allows to put in a sim also if you flip it 9. Degree
Also the duos version seem to contain the same hardware and same tray but work with dual sim so I guess it's only software deactivated
You need a second imei which only comes with the fd versions.
I own a Galaxy S8 (G950F) and I was wondering if I could use a second sim card. I've seen some S8s that have a different sim tray and they can support a sim card with either a second sim card or sd card but my phone's tray on has a sim + sd card tray.
No
No, because with dual SIM phones you'll have software options for the second SIM even if it's not inserted. The non-dual SIM phones don't have that.
