http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McpwWmEtT8w&feature=player_embedded
This is the latest Simore Adapter,Just want your thoughts on this,is it worth it?It does work on the SGS2 so thats not a problem,anyone know differences with the other cheaper versions?
Thanks

is it available on ebay or other online shops.. please provide link.

Overpriced, badly made. AVOID.
There are way better, way cheaper options

i had simore once some years back and it couldnt make 3k.
it worked on all phones but just edge
i decided on this one:
http://www.2-phones-in-1.com/en
it wokred well.

But the question is:
do these dual sim adapters provide the capability to have both the sim cards active on reception at the same time?
Because otherwise it's a nuisance...

nope they suggest you put one of the sims on call divert to the other number.

Yeah, I supposed so, however let me point out that this is by no means the optimum solution, since telephone companies charge redirected traffic by quite a lot (actually they apply the same rate of normal calls).
And in addition as we all know, redirection does not work for text messages...

Yeah. It's called buying another identical phone and taping them side by side.
*end sarcasm mode*
No, its limited by the chipset.
there are 2 in 1 sim adapters you can buy on ebay that will allow 2 sims for one slot. however there are many "versions" and some work some dont, its very hit and miss unless you know sim tech.. the one thats 40$ over the 3$ one with the newer version number is usually the one to go with..
but also know NOTHING about htc devices.

they're are Chines phones with this built in. there is one on youtube that i saw when i was browsing phones.. dual SIM capability and a 1.5GHZ dual core processor perfect replica of the Iphone4 but running android 2.3 G.B. i think it had about 572 MB of RAM but w.e.
either way i have seen it before and i know it is possible
. but i for sure think there is no way in hell you can mod your cell to do it...

I found a German website advertising a dual sim android phone. So yes, they do exist. I'm however not sure if Cyanogenmod could support such a phone.
i dont have any idea
I have no idea why dual sim phones aren't yet available in Europe. It is the ultimate solution for anyone who needs to use a work phone. In the times of dumb phones it was no bother to carry two but now when we all have our smart special one people are really struggling. Is there any normal (non-developer) user who is simultaneously using two smartphones? I don't think so.
It is very common in China, they call it "Dual (sim)cards, Dual Standby"...
nope at least not with a stock android phone, why would you want to ? i doubt any manufacturer would make that anyway, impractical feature for most people especially as most phones come locked to one network and are intended to stay that way, they wouldnt see a need for consumers to have two of the same network sims

they would, i should think... think of it this way: they give you two sim cards and you pay for two simcards. all they want is the money, and you using two sims will get them more.

Well there's the new Galaxy Y Duos, though i don't think how android would work with 2 SIMs
Although, i used to switch SIMs when i need mobile internet by:
Turn on flight mode >> open phone >> Switch SIMS (depends on your phone design) >> Close >> Turn off flight mode.
worked on a galaxy i9003 & HTC desire S no need to even shut it down.
From memory a lot of ZTE and Huawaei phones do tend to be dual sim. I think there's a few triple sim ones as well.
Seems to be a super popular feature on asian markets for some reason. Exactly why, not sure.

[Q] How to use SIM from phone in tab 7.7

I have the SGNexus from verizon with LTE and the phone has a uSIM card in it. I just picked up the SGTab 7.7 last night but did not activate (bought outright).
So, I may wish to use the uSIM card in the tab but am aware that there are things the carriers look for to prevent this and I'd like to prevent them from screwing me. Again, I don't expect to do this much but would like the OPTION of doing so.
What do I need to do and not do to use the uSIM from my SGNexus in my SGTab 7.7?
Thanks,
Brian
So this is the VZW Tab 7.7? I was assuming they would bake the SIM into the tab to prevent exactly what you want to do, but I haven't actually seen one yet. In the P6800, there is a SIM slot along the same side as the microSD slot--does your tab have a SIM slot? If not, you won't be able to switch for sure. If there is a full-size SIM slot, you just need an adapter, which is easy to get or make (can probably get one for like $1 on ebay).
Also, I wouldn't expect VZW to allow your phone SIM to work on a tablet in any case. Even if you could put the SIM in, VZW will know from the IMEI that you are using a tablet and (I assume) force you to change plans or whatever.

I didn't think they would have an open SIM slot on the Verizon unit either, but maybe it has the capability of being unlocked?

Interesting. So yeah, OP: go get a SIM adapter, plug in your SIM, and see what Verizon says to you! Good luck.
Before I go that route I'd like to make sure I avoid anything that would give me away. I'm not sure that's possible but since there are a lot of smart folks on this board I'll wait a bit to give it a shot.
I think the thing I'd most likely use it for is in-car navigation on the longer trips. I have the Verizon SGNexus with LTE and I have the hotspot option so I could use it in that mode to drive the navigation on the tab so maybe swapping in the SIM wouldn't be that big a deal.
Still, it would be nice to have the option...

It's not possible to hide the fact that you're using a tab 7.7 from Verizon unless you're willing to try to change your IMEI (and messing with /efs is pretty dangerous). I'm not saying it's totally impossible, but it'd be difficult at the very least. As you say, there are a lot of smart people here, so maybe someone will work out a way--but I wouldn't hold my breath. Still, no way to know if it'll work unless you try it.
Personally, I bought the wifi version because tethering to a phone is easy and a lot cheaper--save $100 at the start, plus no second data plan at absurd US carriers' prices. I think many of the people who bought the international 3G version were thinking the same as you--they can swap their phone SIM in if they want. However, the unlocked version identifies on the network just like any phone, unlike the Verzion version, which is locked down by Verizon and doesn't even ship with phone software.
I toyed with the idea of importing a wifi only version but decided I didn't want to lose the next door support if I have a problem so I went with Verizon and so far as I can tell they will only offer the LTE version. If putting my phone SIM in it is not going to work or work for long then it will be just a wifi only version albeit about $100 more expensive. I think I could reclaim some of the difference on resell though...
I really hope ICS is coming soon as I don't much like HC...

Forgive my ignorance guys but what is this verizon with LTE?
I am not in the U.S., for me the P6800 model works with a normal GSM SIM or 3G SIM out of the box.

Verizon is a US carrier that does not use GSM. The Verizon version of the GT7.7 has different hardware then the standard GT7.7 and it is unclear if you can just swap the Verizon LTE sim from one Verizon device to their GT7.7 and have full functionality.

LTE is the reason why a simcard is utilized. I'm pretty certain that rest of the cdma/evd0 doesn't utilize the simcard

Hey There,
Great Post. Seems good to have people already sharing useful information like that.
As a personal request though. Your signature size is a bit unreasonable. Could you please consider resizing or doing something else about it?
Thankyou
I want one if the price difference isn't too bad.
dual sim card sounds interesting, I'd have no need for it though. lol deftone
If it has the same specs as the Note II this will be a dual sim 3G world phone. Are there any other Android dual sim 3G world phones out there?
I wouldn't have a need for one but I guess it could come in handy if i wanted to put a prepaid sim in it.

Maybe, look on Google for ROMs for a regular device with a dual-sim variant. For example, the Galaxy Pocket and the Pocket Duos. They have the same specs just like the Note 2 and the Note 2 Duos do so look to see if anybody has flashed a Pocket ROM on their Pocket Duos. If they did, then I guess it would work.I think you can probably find it in a couple of days. Or you could order from China Mobile, the carrier with the device, and have it ship to you.

Dual SIM Note 2 would be awesome for a backpacking holiday. Local SIM as primary, with home SIM as secondary with its super expensive roaming charges. Each time you change country just swap out the primary.
I wasn't sure about Note 2 vs Note 1 but with 64GB internal, 64GB SD, dual SIM and Seidio case with kick stand and holster it will be an iresistable killer combo
Adding decent GPS App with locally stored maps and an external range boosting antenna would make it the ultimate travel phone

Sounds Good!
does anyone know what dual sim entails? can you have 1 sim for mobile broadband (with telco provider a) and 1 sim for minutes, SMS (with a separate telco provider b)?
both reading at the same time. the note 2 knows which one to use and when? so you don't clock up data on the wrong sim, and calls and SMS on the other?
thanks
The "classical" Samsung DuoS phones (at least mine and others I had in hand) let you choose a primary card that is used for everything by default and a special button that allows you to choose the secondary SIM card before making a call or sending sms. Web connection and other services always run from the primary card. Changing the assignment of the primary card causes a reboot.
Both networks are actively receiving calls/sms.
How this one is (or would be) done is hard to tell, not many people had it in hand (if it really exists). Unfortunately, probably not many people ever will.
Personally, I need two networks, so I carry a "phablet" without SIM plus classical DualSIM phone. DuoS Note would be cool.

Because carriers here typically have very cheap offers for unlimited calling and texting to subscribers of the same network while its relatively more expensive to make calls (and text to some extent though this isnt the case so much anymore with texting) to subscribers outside the network. (and there are basically two carriers only competing)

I noticed that Smart sells an S6 duos in which both SIM slots are locked to Smart. seems odd for anyone to have two SIMs from the same network carrier.
by the way, if you've experienced using the S6/edge, then the N5 (and possibly S6e+) will virtually feel the same in processing. but if you're doing some more heavy multitasking, then you may feel the difference the extra 1GB RAM of the N5 offers. the screen real estate is always appreciated, but handling of the overall phone might be a thing people actually consider more and so they may go for the physically smaller handset. I mean, there are actual iPhoners who think the iPhone 6 screen is too big, and miss the smaller screens.

for Calls, there's the option to select either SIM or both. but I don't seem to be able to dedicate any one SIM - they both just work anyway (as long as I have service).
for SMS & MMS you only have the option to select either/or.
for Data, one SIM is dedicated to 4G/3G/2G while the other SIM is limited to 2G. or you can just turn data for both SIMs off while talk and sms & mms are still in service.
when you're making a call, you have two call buttons - one for either SIM.

Just learned that no 64GB available here and 32GB without SD Card for expansion is a serious drawback.
I can live with no IR and no removable battery but lack of SD Card, with all that 4K video recording and all, is really a tough pill to swallow.
Just my two cents.

especially if you use the Cinema 4K app...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.frozenvolcano.android.cinema4k
the native app records 4K @ 48 Mbps. Camera Mod (for S6/e) bumps it up to 70 Mbps. well, Cinema 4K amazingly raises the bar to 200 Mbps.
here's a sample from someone that's popular in the M43/Blackmagic community...

Hi i just had my note 5 for about a week or so... its the dual version issued by globe philippines... i didnt notice anything wrong with the phone until i tried making calls. 1 out 10 tries pushed through.... so my first thought was to reboot my phone to fix it unfortunately it didnt. Then a text came through feom my friends tling me that they have been trying to call me and all they get is that im out of coverage when I'm just at home. By the way im connected to Lte when this happebed. So I tried to look for another way thought of changing the mobile network to 3g/2g. Calls started pouring in and out. It was fixed. But when I switch it again to LTE same thing happens all over again. Has anyone have the same problem?
Globe LTE doesn't support voice with data unlike with other carriers outside our country with VoLTE

do i just put my sim card on this phone

So i currently have an iphone xr on at&t and personally dont like this, so i will be buying this op6t soon. My question is can i just transfer the sim card and set up apn and thats it or do i need to take the phone to at&t to activate it ?

You might wanna give this thread a look,I'm sure someone on AT&T will be glad to assist you.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/help/att-verizon-volte-vowifi-calling-t3860031
If nothing else,it's a good read,as making sure the OP6T is a good choice & all the AT&T functions you want/need will work (WI-FI Calling/VoLTE/VVM,etc....).
Typically,you shouldn't have to do a thing as far as setting the APN.
However,I'm not sure about VoLTE/VVM/WI-FI Calling working,or,if it does,requires any account adjustments/account settings changes/etc..... by AT&T Customer Care.
I have cricket (owned and operated by at&t) and as far as I know service is basically the same. All I had to do was insert the Sim from my old phone and after about a minute everything was working.
I have AT&T and when my 6T arrived I inserted my sim and received service with no issues. For lack of a better phrase it should be plug and play. I did not have AT&T for anything.

That's what I figured, judging by the short time I used AT&T Prepaid a few years back.
What sux is, at least browsing their site as a non-customer, they (AT&T) aren't exactly clear on that.
They try to make it sound as if you need to order (buy) a new SIM Card to use in a different phone, whether it's one of theirs or, a BYOD.
Is Wi-Fi Calling/VoLTE/VVM working on your OP6T w/AT&T?

Nope. They don't allow it on unlocked devices except iPhones and a small selection of Android devices. I have tried a few of the suggestions in various forum posts but none work. It's not a big deal to me because I've always had unlocked devices since I switched to AT&T and I live in an area with for reception so I'm not really missing anything that I rely on.

If nothing else,it's a good read,as making sure the OP6T is a good choice & all the AT&T functions you want/need will work (WI-FI Calling/VoLTE/VVM,etc....).
Typically,you shouldn't have to do a thing as far as setting the APN.
