I never use sim before. Do you actually need one for Tmobile?? And where can you get it?? ANY SIM FROM STORE?

I thought US CDMA phones didn't have a sim card.

You probably have but did not know. If you have ever used any GSM phone services, you have more than likely used a sim card before. T-mobile and AT-T are the two notable GSM providers in the USA. If any of these provided you with phone service before, you have used sim card.

Yes. Sim card is needed to use T-Mobile phone service.

And where can you get it??
When you sign-up for T-mobile service, you'd be sent one.

Or, you can always go to T-mobile store to get one.

Sprint & Verizon are SIM-less.

Hi PatrickSTAR,
any news about the Magic Sim 23th?

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 
Hi there...

I actually finished testing my N900 dual sim adapter test!!!

The Adapter works, but I am not able to switch between the sim cards because i can not find any menu point on the N900 for sim services!!!

Maybe Maemo does not support any sim services???

Is somebody able to write a programm wich can simulate this sim services???

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 
I am also interested in dual sim adapter for my (as yet undelivered) N900. In S60 the dual sims add a small app to Applications folder that allows changing from one to other sim - still not an ideal solution (calls to other number must be redirected prior to changing sims so as to maintain incoming calls), so kind of defeating the purpose! Ideally both sims would be active at once.....like on the asian dual sim phones. This would require some coding I expect. Any coders interested?

PatricSTAR is your kit the 'cut' type or 'ribbon' type? I'm interested to know how it fits? Ta.

Hi...

My Card adapter is the Magic sim card 23th and its a cut type!!!!

If you like to have 2 sim cards online at the same time, you need 2 transmitter units in one mobile...
I think there is no way to get 2 sim cards work at the same time in N900....

Does anybody have an idea how i can switch between the sim cards like in my old N95 8GB please let me know!!!!

I am thinking about an programm witch simulates the menu from Sim card adapter like it is in S60 3rd....

Maybe I am going to sell my N900 if this is impossible, because i hate nothing more than using two mobiles!!!

Sorry for my english, :-) its to early for me in Austria to write in english....... =)

PatrickSTAR 2009-12-20 09:22

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 
The magic sim 23th is a little bit big, but i fits in the N900 SIM slot...:cool:

PatrickSTAR 2009-12-20 09:24

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 
Maybe I am going to try one of the sim cards witch switch between the sim cards by powering off the mobile???

But I am not sure if there is one witch supports 3G.... :confused:

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 
Damn...I have been using dual sim adapters since my N70, and now I am trying to use it on my n900, and the thing is, it works, but like our friend mentioned before, there is no menu for sim services, so I can't switch lines...:(
Any help on that would be deeply appreciated!!:D

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 
I have multisim and seems that only way to change to number in use is powering of N900 and type respective pin code for number I want to use.

So...you mean you have to turn off and on everytime you want to switch numbers?
Thanx

PatrickSTAR 2009-12-20 21:03

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 
I think it is not impossible to create such a programm...

I am only not able to do it!!!!!

Maybe some "hackers" can do it????

=)

Yes, needs to turn off as the multisim requires pin code, symbian phones has icon multisim and by typing the masterkey I get the choice of numbers and again there I need to type respective pin.

Hi..

Wich dual sim adapter do you have and does 3G work????

Random 2009-12-21 06:55

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 
I have MultiSim ( usb dongle to copy all sim's to pc and write them to mustisim) up to 10 numbers, This only works with Ver1 sims and yes 3G works OK.

rmarcus 2009-12-21 09:20

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 
There should be an easier way, a command which could ask which sim to choose or something like that.

PatrickSTAR 2009-12-21 10:24

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 
Yeah, that would be great...

But who can make this???

PatrickSTAR 2009-12-21 10:26

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 
Or maybe a Desktop widget could be the perfect way???

PatrickSTAR 2009-12-21 10:48

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 
Why does the N900 not support Sim Features???

Before I bought it, anyway, I thought that it can do more things ...

twaelti 2009-12-21 10:50

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 
a) It was never an announced feature. Read the specifications before buying a device.
b) Step 4/5
c) Patience is a virtue :-)

PatrickSTAR 2009-12-21 11:24

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 
I'm also a little disappointed that there are no original Nokia themes ...

=)

I've enough patience, but that Maemo 5 has been sitting for a while!!!!

PatrickSTAR 2009-12-21 20:09

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 
You can rename this threat into N900 Sim Service Application!!!

=)



When i see all this great apps for download here, i cannot imagine that its not possible to make this Application...:D:confused::o:cool:

PatrickSTAR 2010-01-25 05:39

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 
Hey all...

I guess not...I kinda gave up, decided to use voip and now I have only my data plan line.

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 
we asked the developer of the hypercard 3G:

answer: "at the moment, they have no hardware to test. it is possible to change the simcard with a "quick code". the quickcode is not a ussd-code."

what ever a quickcode will be.

i think you need a sim tool kit for using a dual simcard adapter

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900
 
Hi, for many years i wanted 2 mobile numbers on 1 phone!

I looked at dual sims but they only worked one at a time!

Then i discovered truphone! never looked back!

2 mobile numbers fully operational on 1 phone both at the same time. 1 number for friends 1 for work ! great!

have a look at www.truphone.com

Re: Dual sim card adapter for N900

Thanks

Maybe someone checked this http://www.simore.ch/en/two_sim_card...d_platinum.php
I hope that PR1.2 will bring sim tool kit features and dualsim adapters will work.
