Hi all,
Has anybody came across these:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9102090186&fromMakeTrack=true
I can work out it's one sim card that can hold up to 12 by copying them using a device. I only ask as i'm using the dual ghost sim card and for it to work you need to crop your sim cards to fit.
This badger seems to be a lot easier (ie no cutting involved) and can hold 12 sims on it.
Is anybody using one or know if they work? It says they work on V.1 & V.2 simcards. what sim cards does the universal use?
I opened the thread as these might save us from cutting sim cards up.
Hope someone can shed some light, cheers

yohanson: have a search for clone sim and dual sim on the forum.
Won't work in the UK if you have a SIM card newer then 2 years old AFAIK.
V
there is one that works with a V3 sim card which i suppose to the newer sim cards
I bought something similar from ebay. The software supplied couldn't crack the encryption on my sim card. See this thread:

Hi,
I just purchased a P6800 to replace my current phone.
Everything is awesome about the device, but everytime I try to insert my SIM from my previous phone, it keeps saying "Please Insert SIM"
After many reboots, same message shows on the unlock screen.
I've tried other SIM cards from my friends' phones (H20, Red Pocket, T-Mobile, Etc.)
The only SIM it seems to detect is my old O2 SIM card from my travel overseas.
Are there different times of Mini SIMs? Perhaps the metal contact sizes are different for data and regular phone SIMs?
I hope someone can help as I would love to utilize the full capabilities of this device.
Thanks.

It uses a regular sized SIM, not a micro-SIM. Are you sure you're inserting the SIM with the contact side down notch end first?

Im having the exact same problem. Bought a Telstra sim for my P6800 and it wont recognise it. The same sim works fine in my Galaxy Nexus, and the sim from my Galaxy Nexus works fine in the Tab. It's just this particular sim/data plan it wont recognise the sim, keeps saying 'insert sim'. I had the sim replaced, same issue. Any ideas?
Did you try to go to Settings -> Wireless and then configure the APN, etc.?

Wont let me into it. When I press Mobile Networks it tells me to insert a sim. The sim works fine in other devices but is not detected by the Tab. A Google search reveals that it is a common problem with certain sims and carriers, I may have to go to a Telstra store and try a few different sims.. Unless there is something else I can try?
I had a problem with my sim card but when I reboot my device It is Ok.
Yes. Try to reboot your device. When I inserted my SIM while the tablet was on, it would give me the same error until I restarted the tablet.
You definitely have to reboot the Tab after inserting the Sim.

With respect, rebooting was the first thing I tried! Makes no difference whether I insert the sim when the Tab is off or not, still not detected
If a different Sim card works in the tablet you can see if your phone provider can give you another Sim. If no Sim works, it's most probably HW related

A sim that worked earlier in the week no longer works, sadly now looks to be a hardware issue..
You can't use the micro sims they mess up the sim reader if you leave it in it will continue to work but once you take it out it breaks the sim slot it happened to me i used a att sim first and it worked fine then a rep at a cell shop put his micro sim with an adapter into to it to see if it worked with t-mobile and when he took it out the sim slot wouldn't work I had to get the device replaced

And that is exactly what has happened to me. I was using a micro sim with adapter and after I removed it, the device no longer recognises sim cards. It will cost me AU$130 to have it repaired.
A big warning to everyone else not to use micro sims with adapters, make sure you use a full old-style sim card! Quite annoying since most carriers these days have the sim card with the micro-sim push out, these will damage the sim slot in the P6800
Same problem here after using a microsim adapter now it doesn't recognize any sim. Do you know how to remove back cover so i try to repair internal sim card reader?

Same problem here, after using a Micro-Sim Adapter, my p6800 stopped recognizing the sim cards. I hope the repair do not cost too much.
Don't know if this might help.
I had the same experience when I insert my Sim card the first time.
Luckily I have about twenty old Sim card to play with.
I tried most of them and found put that some Sim card is thinner.
So, what I did was to paste a layer of clear tape on the back of my Sim card to make it slightly thicker.
It will fell a but tight at first.
But it helps.

I've also tried that, pasted a piece of tap to make the sim a bit thicker but It didn't worked, I think I have to send it for repair.
Thanks for your help.

Last try would be the most ancient method.
Try using a eraser to rub the contacts of the Sim card.

Hi Guys,
I love my Nexus (Rooted, Specific ROM BeanStalk).
It was working like a charm.
My company change the carrier and issue new SIM.
I have to use a nano sim card (due to IPHONE 5 policy - in the company).
I then used an holder for the nano Card.
I inserted it, it worked well one to two hours and now, not anymore.
The NEXUS is not seeing any SIM card, mine and another from my wife in the micro sim format.
My SIM card is working in other phone, even with the holder.
I did a reset factory and installed the ROM again from scratch.
What are your suggestion ?
Thanks

Hey, must say the device got a little water back few months before it started to make this problem.
The motherboard and every thing looks clean inside.
The problem is when we put a sim card its not recognize there is a sim inside, we tried a new sim and other sim that works 100% on other device, but nothing.
The funny thing is when we put other carrier sim card it recognize it and works fine.
We tried to replace the sim card slot , problem still remains..
The last thing I think about is to replace the charging (usb) port (all this board), do you think it will fix the problem? or what else could be this weird problem?
thanks.
Anyone have any idea about this issue?
BTW, the charging port/board is related to the buttom back-setting touch keys?
Your phone is locked to certain carrier that's why it wont recognize some sim cards and some work just fine.
If the sim card slot is damaged the phone wont read any sim.

The device is unlocked, not bought from any carrier (here they never lock it anyway).
The Sims that's works are different carrier so can't be lock to specific one.
Maybe something messed up with the modem?
Is it possible that the charging port (board) will do the trick? (The antenna connect to this board as well)
Note 4 not recognizing any SIM card
Wondering if any of you experts out there can help me out.
I have the Canadian version (SM-N910W8) of the Note 4 (pretty much same as the T-Mobile version) which works fine except this one issue which is puzzling me. The phone will not recognize any SIM card (have tried many) but has no issues with SD cards or connecting to WiFi. I have gone so far as to replace the SD and Sim Card ribbon & antenna cables with new ones, tried official Samsung TouchWiz & custom ROMs but the issue persists.
There are many posts on the Internet about Samsung phones which stop recognizing SIM cards and asking users to re-insert it or reboot the phone but mine simply refuses to recognize any and all SIM cards. Have tried adding a piece of paper, tape, etc... on top of the SIM to no avail.
Any suggestions?
