Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

Impressive answer. But what that means? I'm new in here so I don't know all habits on this forum, but your post IMHO is rubbish. Is that kind of behaviour normal here?

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

Hi; i'm using the magic sim 23th-A (you must cut) in N900 and it's work perfectly, i configure before in other phone, to use it in 007 mode an then change to N900, i change sim with 001 and 002 code.

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

Would you please show us some screenshots and explain how it works. Does it show some extra menu? Do you have to use ussd? And so on...

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

Yes please...some more info would help, screenshots, picture of the SIM card...

Thanx!

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

Here you have a video-tuto with instrucctions to use the magic SIM.

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

Thanks for the video; so if I understand correctly you can use a dual sim adapter, but you must have a Symbian phone to activate to work, and then put it in you N900.
Can you change the name of both sim cards thru the Custom Operator Widget?
So then all we need is a script/app that could allow us to change cards on some time interval, ie. every 65min. activate card number two; then 60min. later revert back to card one.

edit: So it won't work unless it is activated by another phone most likely Symbian. Correct?

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

Hi; really isn't necesary a symbian phone, because magic SIM is a lot of compatibiliyties, you can see the web to search one model works.
The custom operator only permit one name for both cards. in theory the magic sim can change by time, but i don't use this option.
Finally you need preactivate in other mobile, correct.

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

Ok cool, just out of curiousity, what kind of time frames are possible?

But their aren't too many phones that have the ability/software for sim services?

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

The times i think is posible for a maximum of 99 minutes for each one, but you can put different times, example. 15-90, 25-99, 99-99...

The sim software is on the MagicSIM, it install this software on the phone, but it isn't ready for maemo. For these reason you need other phone.

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

Thanks to Bioepi for the comments and vid.

I purchased magicsim 23th-A on ebay and have set up using Nokia N81 as per Bioepi's instructions. In the N900 it does switch sim's and connect to to Telstra and Optus GSM networks in Australia, although I can confirm that it does NOT work with Optus' 3G network, though I guess it is possible that the adaptor I purchased is faulty.

For those wanting to give this a crack but are put off by cutting sim card's - don't be. I was initially nervous about doing this but found it quite easy.

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

Thanks, all, for this thread, it is very useful!

I may need to run two sim cards in the very near future, but I am not yet confident about running a Dual Sim adaptor or cutting my sim cards to fit in my N900.

Will there be any problems swapping one out and swapping the other one in, say, once per day?

Will the N900 internet access settings get 'messed up' by the new sim card each time?

(Does the sim card contain the internet settings or does the N900 get set up from the network when you switch it on with a given sim in it?)

The new sim that I get won't 'reregister' the phone to that network or anything silly, will it?

Please accept my apologies for the n00b questions.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give!


EDIT: Is it safe to assume that the new internet connection settings from the additional sim card will be held within the Menu > Settings > Connections screen, and therefore easily selectable from the drop down menu at the top of the main screen, regardless of which sim card you have in?

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

I swap SIMs twice a month. The first power on after changing sims takes a little longer. It asks me to change or confirm language, locale, time etc. Otherwise everything is the same.

Sure is a nuisance now that I have an Otterbox.

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

Your mobile data connection settings will be specific to the sim you have in use.

i.e. If you set up sim 1 with provider A's APN and sim 2 with provider B's APN then every time you use sim 1, provider A's connection settings will be available but not provider B's and vice versa.

Any wireless connections you have saved will not be affected.

The process of swapping sims is really easy on the N900 - once you have developed some confidence in tearing the back cover off (at first the plastic feels like it will snap when pressure is applied) and can be done in a matter of seconds.

As Gerald101 mentioned, time and date settings need to be confirmed (correct time & date is remembered - just need to hit save). The only change in settings I have noticed though is the clock always reverts to 24 hour format.

Hope this helps!

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

I have just set up the SIm adapter to my n900, it works like a charm! there's no need to confirm anything when it switches lines.

:)

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

What is a quickcode?

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

How do you swap lines? Reboot or some command?

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

hi
can any one help me in installing Dictionary in my Nokia N900

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

i heard that quick code does not work on n900

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

do you have to have another phone to set it up or can you do the setup with just the n900?

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

i ve got the magicsim 23th and 26th...

- i followed the instructions
- i lend a ngage to switch from stk mode to 007 mode it works with both adapters
- i've got an old gsm card and a new 3g card
- i put the adapter in my n900

status:

23th
- the 23th workes fine, but the 23th only supports 2 and 2.5 g...
- u can switch the simcards typing 001 call (for sim1) or 002 call (for sim2). after a few seconds, the new connection with the other sim-card is working.


26th with the same sim cards :

- it works in 3g mode (speed tested)
- i can switch from my gsm card to the 3g card.
- but i can't switch from 3g card to gsm.
- after a few trys the gsm card will be no more detected (put sim-card in failure). if i use the 3g card in the same slot, it works, but i can't switch.
- same situation in both phones!

maybe the adapter is broken, maybe my gsm-simcard is to old.

does anyone else use the magicsim 26th card adapter?

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

I bought the 23th magicsim from ebay so here is my experience.

Use tmo prepaid phone to configure adapter to 007 mode. but it seems that only 2g-2.5g is working.

Note: using At&t and TMo usa.. 3g not working for tmo on this adapter.

will order 26th magic sim to test it out also.

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

the 23.th only supports 2g and 2.5 g.

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

so if i buy the 26th then all is well?

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

My MAgic SIM 23th A works in Spain with Vodafone in 3.5G.
Perfectly.

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

in theory it works on some carriers.

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

in germany the 23th does not work with any card in 3g! the supllier said also, that the 23th does not work in 3g or 3.5g

and with the 26th you cannot switch in 007 mode (with the german sim cards and in different phones). but you can store on sim the 001 or 002 and the adapter switch to the other card.

but with the n900 you cannot store contacts on simcard.

:-(

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

Does anyone know if there a dual sim adaptor that allowing 2 sims to work at the same time?

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

I am having a bit of problem locating this MagicSIM 26th to purchase. Anybody got a ebay seller id or a link maybe?

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

I'm also looking to buy this too but they don't have it.

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

Well his profile says the Maldives. I am sure he will supply the relevant info.
I am interested in using one in Australia so watching this closely.

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

Any other store that ssells 26th ? i bought 2 months ago http://www.eurodualsim.com/ and never got it ... i send email every week and never get a answer ... i do not recommend it ...

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

Anyone tried this http://www.duosim.com/

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

So I went ahead and ordered a DuoSIM D2 from http://www.duosim.com/
My primary SIM is ATT with no data. I plan to get a TMO data only sim and use it as my second SIM. Will come back and update how it goes!

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

Does this DuoSIM supports changing using shortcuts like magicsim ? If it needs choose in the sim menu , you wont be able to use it in n900.

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 

hi nashith, just wanted to ask you. you know the ghost sim are you having any problems with it. im thinking about buying it but I want to
1. make sure it fits in the n900 sim cradle.
2. Do you need to configure anything or does it require another phone
3. And i have a t-mobile contract sim which uses internet so will it still work.
4. Last but not least one of the sims is bigger than the other so should i worry


i know it a lot of question but if you could get back to me id appreacite it

many thanks
