Ok guys, quick update.

I tried the dual sim (26th cut version) again, only this time I tried it without the metal sleeve that hold the sims in place. The sims fit fine without it, AND my phone recognises it!!!!! Thank god for it was truely doing my head in.

Now I have another problem. I seemed to have switched to 007 mode (I was messing about) The 007 mode doesn't seem to work on my HTC Desire HD. HOW can I get back to the stk menu that has dual sim/ sim 1/ sim 2 and the likes on it? All I can see now when I go to sim Toolkit is Vodafone plus, sports and events etc..... I can't press back as that leaves the menu altogether and I can't scroll left, right, up or down.

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

[Desire General] expler:
i dont see the point of this.

its better to use two phones
[Desire General] swinster:
Gotta say that I've carried around 2 phones for years and have been waiting on the day where I can get away from this with a passion. I can't stand two phones and see no reason why I should be able to carry just one device at any one time.

Unfortunately, it needs the right phone as well as the right dual SIM adapter and I think that the Desire is the first phone that I've had that would suit my needs for both work a personal use. I believe I can connect to multiple Exchange servers, it easy to read, it looks good and its extensible.

True, it would be nice to have inbound calls to each SIM ring the phone all the time, but I can live with my personal calls going to voicemail whilst on work time. I could always set up divert to my work mobile (although I doubt I could set up timed switches or how this would affect me billing).

We're not to far away for a single point of contact for any person to any device (wither it be mobile/s, landline IM, email, etc) and a single mobile device is just an extension of this.
[Desire General] swinster:
With the Magicsim 26th gen, is there a software option to auto switch SIM?

Has anyone used the SIMore dual SIM that I belive has this option (which I also accept that these are a lot more expensive)?

Has anyone used both that can give a comparison?
[Desire General] Hed0nism:
I haven't tried the simore version myself but have heard bad reports of it by the seller I bought the 26th version from. He could just be saying that to get more business so who knows.

The guys who have their 26th sim working. Can you please explain how I get back to the main menu on the stk? All I see now is updates for the network as opposed to the main menu eg: sim 1/ sim2/ NO hide menu. It's really starting to pickle my head.
[Desire General] Hed0nism:
Ok, STK menu returned and now the dual sim is fully funtional. Might be a good idea NOT to use 007 mode as some phones are not compatable with that option.

Another thing I found that helps is to leave the phone alone when switching from sim to sim. If I change the sim then press the home button, the phone freezes and restarts. Apart from that, it works well =)
[Desire General] israellive:
Hi guys, I'm new here, glad to join your community.

I'm following this thread while trying to decide what dual sim adapter to buy for my HTC DESIRE.

I'm leaning towards the magic 2th (cheaper compared to the simore and better reviews).

I have a few questions:

1. What is this 007 mode? what is its purpose?

2. have any of you tried the magic sim 28th version?

(I found it on eurodualsim)

3. I know that when using the magic dual sim adapter you have to enter the menu every time and select the sim you would like to use - now I know this is suppose to take 10 seconds, but still, it's seems pretty annoying when you are on the move (or riding a motorcycle :)

Is it possible to just have 2 icons on my home page? (one icon for SIM1 - and one icon for SIM2) - it seems to be much easier. any thoughts on this?

4. While the phone is on SIM1 - are all the calls to SIM2 going to the voicemail (if predefined by the network for that specific sim)

Thanks for your help!
[Desire General] Hed0nism:
Hi Mate,

1: 007 mode is used as a dial mode in order to change sims. You save 001 to BOTH sims and name it 001, this is for sim number 1. For sim number 2, you save 002 to BOTH sims and name it 002. Dialling these numbers will access each sim 001 (sim 1) 002 (sim 2). You dial the number and hang up and it changes to which ever sim you choose BUT this didn't work on my Desire HD. I think it works on your Desire as I'm nearly sure I have read that. When I went to 007 mode I lost the orginal dual sim menu, under sim tool kit (STK). It eventually came back after a while.

2: I haven't used the 28th version. Just so you know, the 26th version is the one I am using which does work for your phone too, and also in 3G on both sims. You can get it even cheaper than the 28th version. I got mine on ebay from a seller called directdevices for £15.99. I had problems with it working like I said but the guy was really helpful and even sent a second adapter, but I think it was just my phone being a weirdo lol. You do have to cut the sims for this one but I'm sure you know that. The wee plastic things that come with the adapter are for putting the CUT sims back into phone just to test that they are still working.

3: I'm not sure about the double icon job in order to switch sims. What I did was I made a shortcut with sim tool kit to my homescreen and change by clicking either SIM 1/ SIM 2. It takes roughly 40 seconds to swap over completely. My phone goes into airplane mode and then connects to the other sim. Best noted here that when I chose a sim at the start and then pressed home/ back or whatever, it restarted the phone. Not sure if yours will do this but best to select sim then just lock the phone while it does its thing. As for the sim not in use, all calls go to voicemail. Another thing I downloaded was multisim from the android store. This shows an icon of which sim is in current use! It's easy to see what number you're on that way! It's a free app too.

Hope that helps you dude! =)

Doe the MagicSIM 26 support auto SIM switching?
[Desire General] RHOUSMAN:
What exactly do you mean by Auto sim switching? You can set it to switch sims at a timed interval.
[Desire General] swinster:
Well, in an ideal world I would like to set my SIMs to switch in two ways:

To switch the default SIM at a given time, i.e. on Monday to Friday between 08:00-18:00, lets say, it would default to the Work SIM as being most active, and the rest of the time it would default to the Home SIM as being most active.

In addition to this, I would like the Secondary SIM to switch over say every hour so that messages and voice mail etc may be indicated.

I have been in touch with SIMore who have said they support the later but not the former. I personally don't think that anyone has come up with SIM switching in the way that is as clever as what is described above.

However, I don't know if the MagicSIM even supports the second item on the list - i.e. a simple timed SIM switch, or how complex it would be to re-configure this timing once I set the default to the secondary SIM. If it does support this feature, and no one has developed anything like I have listed above, then I would find it hard to justify the additional cost of the SIMore device.

If I could get something like this working with maybe call forwarding on unavailability (assuming I don't get screwed on call cost by my carrier), then I can be relatively happy that I will only require 1 phone - ho bloody rah!

Any further help or understanding you have would be beneficial.
[Desire General] RHOUSMAN:
Yea the magicsim one does the timed interval switching like the simore one. Its a good idea having a more sophisticated switching option like you mentioned. I wonder if anyone will do such a thing? It would be great.

Oh btw i recently got the new 28th gen cutting version off the directdevices guy and its working even better than the 26th gen. They've ironed out the "007" option problem and now all options work perfectly on my HTC DESIRE...

Woop! :D

[Desire General] israellive:
How recently did you buy it?

Can you please be specific - cause I recently contacted him and he said that he doesn't have it yet...
[Desire General] swinster:
Seconded. Checked out eBay this morn but couldn't find anything.
[Desire General] buchinho:
Me neither..
[Desire General] neric421:
Me neither on Ebay but I've founded this 3G dual sim card adapter magicsim 28th version in eurodualsim.com, somebody has already order on this place?
[Desire General] RHOUSMAN:
I got it about 6 days ago. Its not listed but if you message or email him he has it in stock. Its the same guy as before directdevices on ebay.
[Desire General] duryard:
Has any one used http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130491372187&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123 in their desire and does it work well?

Its by a company called e_cell on ebay
[Desire General] RHOUSMAN:
Those really cheap ones don't work. From my experience the only ones that work well so far have been the 26th-gen cut and 28th-gen cut MAGICSIM ones...

Well for my HTC Desire and HTC Wildfire anyway.

Hope this helps
[Desire General] thejinx0r:
Is it possible to have two sims online at the same time?

I want to have one sim for my actual phone line (no data) and a second one just for data (no talk/sms).
[Desire General] swinster:
Did anyone unlock their phone using this utility and has a Dual SIM adapter working? I used this to unlock the phone and both SIMs that I wanted to use (O2 and Orange in an Orange Stock ROM phone) registered and worked OK, but I'm having issue with a MagicSIM 28th cutting adapter.

I have just received a MagicSIM 28th cutting edition from eBay but weirdly only the SIM in the 2nd physical location is recognised. I see no STK from the adapter or the SIM in position 1. Further, if I use the "Slim" backing plate, I get the "No SIM inserted" message"
[Desire General] neric421:
Finally bought the 28th magicsim on eurodualsim.

Delivery delay quite long ~6days but it works fine !!!

I've compared with friend's Simore Infinite ... same size , same thickness... but not the same price ;) 15€
[Desire General] duryard:
Where did you get it m8:0)
[Desire General] RHOUSMAN:
hmmm eurodualsim looks a bit dodgy to me :(
[Desire General] hoxygt:
Yep I just got the 28th version cutting and have found the same.

007 mode seemed to lock the dual SIM menu up and doesn't work and even getting the dual sim to function in a HTC desire took some fiddling.

I get recognition of the second SIM but no network appears and then it won't switch back to the SIM that works - getting a replacement so hopefully just a faulty adapter. Sounds like the more expensive models are the best bet.
[Desire General] RHOUSMAN:
This is odd cause it's been fine for me. Is your phone unlocked? That could prob cause a problem like that. Give me a shout if you want some trouble shooting advice as i've become a bit of a magicsim pro lately. :)
[Desire General] hoxygt:
Yep its unlocked and both SIMS work when used alone after 'cutting'.
[Desire General] swinster:
Just to let you know, mine was buggered. Sent it back and got a nice new one which work first time.

I did have a problem when I switch away from non HTC sense based ROMs but I believe that the apos ROMs don't support the dual sim adapters - big shame.
[Desire General] Vidkum:
Any good ROM to use with Dual SIM?
[Desire General] hoxygt:
Got a replacement on its way - fingers crossed, stay tuned.
[Desire General] swinster:
Whatever it is, I think you will need to look at a stock Sense based ROM. I'm currently using Cool VisionS v4 which I believe is based on Sense 2.1 from the Desire Z. Ther is also similar ROMs from the sam guy from the Desire S and Desire HD. I think there are some ROM with Sense 3, but it seems that they are pretty new and more experimental than practical.

I did read a post on another forum regard the Cyanogen Mod 7 saying that hey did eventually get their Dual SIM adapter using a specific radio although they also said that switching was slow. In addition, their adaptor was from Simore.

At the end of the day, there is only one way to find out.
[Desire General] swinster:
Of course, if anyone does manage to get a Dual SIM adpter working in a different ROM, then i think it would be great if you could let us know.
[Desire General] mocktor:
Insertcoin data++ Rom works fine with the new gen. magicsim cut adapter, tried with different providers , O2, tmobile vodafon airtel.
[Desire General] RHOUSMAN:
Yea i reckon you've got a faulty one. I'm sure if you're getting a replacement it'll work as its all running fine for me and we seem to have the same setup.
[Desire General] neric421:
here in eurodualsim.com website, no incident for the moment , adapter is working fine.

I'll keep you posted ;)
[Desire General] swinster:
This is a sense ROM so will be OK

Trouble with MagicSIM on HTC Desire

Hi everybody !

I just received my MagicSIM 28th (or pretending to be 28th -- btw, is there a way to check the version ?)

I have two carrier : orange fr and coop ch, but the orange SIM doesn't want to work !

It asks the PIN code for it and then nothing happens .

Works fine with recovery adapter. Coop sim also works fine in both slot.

Could it be that the sim card is too new ? (last month)

And btw, is it normal to have no STK when the simcard is not detected ?

Thanks for your comments
[Desire General] mocktor:
The adapter also works fine with the new Insertcoin GB Rom ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016940 ) which is also a sense Rom.
[Desire General] mocktor:
Stk will only appear with a simcard detected.

I first had a problem with one simcard it was not detected, after smoothing the edges of the cut with a fine grain sandpaper, the fit was improved, the card was detected plus it was much easier to close and insert the adapter.

You should also check whether the plastic of the card that is not detected is thinner and therefore will not fit tightly.
[Desire General] hoxygt:
Received replacement 28th gen Magic SIM. After some serious mucking around managed to get both to work - however....

- My Telstra SIM only works after a cold boot

- My OPTUS sim works anytime

So I can switch to Optus from Telstra no problem, but switching back to Telstra doesn't work without turning the phone off and back on. It sucks but not as much as carrying two phones.

Another irritating issue I'm having is every time I switch to Optus it looses my google login credentials and Internet access details so the net doesn't work. My guess is I'll have to save APN details in the phone?

Hi, can someone help to me and inform me where I can buy MagicSIM 28th cutting adapter. Which is better MagicSIM 26th or MagicSIM 28th. Which adapter is the best. Except MagicSim is there some another good dual sim adapter with 3G, UMTS GPRS...

Magicsim nocut from Eurodualsim : doesn't work ...

Hello everybody,

I have a HTC Desire with a Leedroid ROM - V2.5.0 (based on Android 2.2) - and radio version 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17

I bought a "Magic Sim 26th C for Iphone/Desire/Galaxy S - No Cut" from Eurodualsim some weeks ago - very cheap and fast delivery - but I'm very disappointed : no way to use it !!!

I sent e-mail to eurodualsim - they answered me a little late - but their advices - see below - don't succeed

*****************************************************************

Due to the product success , support team is a bit overloaded, sorry for the late answer.

When happend the issue (1 hour after plug in? after manipulations? )

Try to force your phone to GSM only mode (disable 3G)

Reboot your phone.

Let's the system recognize the 1rst sim.

Switch to other.

Set 3G GSM auto mode

Reboot your phone.

Please check if contacts between sim and adapters are always ok in any phone position (check without the back cover)

*****************************************************************

May be a defective magicsim, but I would like to check if I have a problem of ROM or not - some incompatibility issue with the magicsim - : if some of you has no problem with , could you tell me which ROM and radio version used please ???

Thank to all for your help

Regards,

Serge

Hi,

I bought a Hypercard 3G a few month ago. First I couldn't get it to work, then I took the battery and everything else out of my phone. A few hours later I reinserted the battery and Hypercard into my phone again and it worked.

But today I wanted to switch sim and my Desire told me, that no SIM is inserted -.-. I tried to clean the Hypercard and the simcards but still the same error. So I tried the sims without the Hypercard and both worked.

Now I took battery and Hypercard again out of my phone and tomorrow I'll try it again... I'm not happy with the Hypercard.

Is Anyone here using magicsim (which looks the same like Hypercard) for a year or longer without any problems?
[Desire General] bgumble:
I'm using Hypercard 3G for years now and never had problems.

Be sure that the two sim cards have contact to the adapter.
[Desire General] fetzia:
The simcards have contact to the Adapter.

Looks like this:

[Desire General] Donnie87:
don't buy from this site

http://eurodualsim.com/

... he sold me a non working dual sim adapter and refuses me to give me a refound...

edit: seems like something is happening... after I put a video on youtube showing how the product DOES NOT WORK, he's saying now that he'll give me a refound (seems like my warnings are working).

anyway if I could come back I would not buy the simadapter from them as they never answer to emails, the shipping cost is very expensive, and the customer care doesn't actually care as they should do, in my honest opinion.
[Desire General] RHOUSMAN:
I'll second that about the eurodualsim guy. I bought one from that site yonks ago and never got anything and he didn't reply to my calls. Best bet is the magicsim guy on ebay i've prob bought about 16 off him now (for customers for my brothers phone shop) and its always been a good experience.

HTC Desire Z

Hi absolute beginner on this forum.

Really need the dual sim adapter for my HTC Desire Z but don't want to risk cut version.

Has anyone used the MagicSIM 28th Generation No-Cutting adapter with HTC Desire?

Thanks
[Desire General] slap-n-tickle:
Excellent thread guys read, with great interest.

However, I have a couple of Noob Q's that I didn't see mentioned earlier in the thread:

Will the 28th Magicsim fit in an 'HTC Desire S'? has anyone done this successfully?

Does the phone HAVE to be unlocked, or only if you're using two different networks?

I've seen plenty of references to the 'HTC Desire' but not specifically for the 's', hence Q1.

I read in this thread that the phone needs to be unlocked for dual sim, using different networks, but as mine is a company issued phone (that I'll have to give back at somepoint) I don't want to unlock it, I'd rather simply buy another Orange sim and use both in the phone. But the ad on ebay (yes that bloke you lot have recommended ;) ) advises that "your phone must be UNLOCKED".

Any help/advise would be HUGELY appreciated :D

cheers
[Desire General] RHOUSMAN:
Yes it does work and yes it does have to be unlocked unless both sims are on the locked network

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the claification. Kevin, it appears that you have basically used the stock uk rom and tidied it up. What would be useful is to produce a 6.5.5 rom with the uk radio since this appears to be more reliable in terms of signal....by the way I am a Londoner!
