Cellular Phone Forum / Manufacturers / Ericsson / April 2004Dual SIM for z600
Hi, Anyone know of a dual SIM for the SE z600? ta, Pete >Hi, > >Anyone know of a dual SIM for the SE z600? > >ta, >Pete Pete I'm running a dual sim adaptor in my z600, the following works fine (anyone else reading this, it also works fine in a T610 too and may well fit the P800 mentioned in other threads. I have no connection with the supplier apart from as a customer the good news is you do NOT have to cut up or 'trim' your sim card http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=42408&item=3396586379 I found that by hanging on till the final few minutes i picked one up for £5.49 plus postage. it's a far east company but they delivered ok and have pretty good feedback and a long history. best wishes and hope that helps Baffie Please reply to newsgroup - it's not my address in the header! Thanks Baffie, I'll have a go. > >Hi, > > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > the good news is you do NOT have to cut up or 'trim' your sim card http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=42408&item=3396586379 > I found that by hanging on till the final few minutes i picked one up > for ?5.49 plus postage. it's a far east company but they delivered ok [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Please reply to newsgroup - it's not my address in the header! Pete, Could you please inform us about this amazing product when you have a chance to try it? Thanks, Klaus >Pete, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >Thanks, >Klaus Klaus, the dual sim holder is slightly thicker than the conventional sim card itself. I used mine on a T610 I owned previously, currently it's in my Z600. the photo on the ebay page says it all, there's a 'spoof' sim card connected to a dual sim holder, you just slot your two sim cards in there, you do NOT have to trim the cards or cut them in any way. insert the spoof sim into the sim holder on your fone, and the dual sim holder sits behind the battery. to switch from one sim card to the other you just turn off your fone and immediately turn it back on again simple to use and works wonderfully. hth Please reply to newsgroup - it's not my address in the header! > >Pete, > > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > Please reply to newsgroup - it's not my address in the header! Hi Found this thread latte Where can get this item in the UK? TIA Danny No worries Klaus, it should be here in a week or so. Pete > Pete, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Thanks, > Klaus Hi group, Well, it arrived today and on first inspection, I wouldn't rate it too highly. Firstly, it wouldn't fit into my SIM socket on the phone (SE Z600). After some tense moments trying to squeeze it in, I inserted my two SIM cards and then realised that they wouldn't fit anywhere. The battery needed to go back in but how and where. I tried twisting the ribbon cable of the dual card holder so I could try to wrap it around the battery and sit it on top. I did achieve this, but of course the back cover wouldn't slide on. I then decided to play with it a little anyway (leaving the back cover off). Well, problems began. Firstly, I switched on the phone and SIM1 seemed to load. I then went into the messaging icon on my menu, my phone paused a few moments and then reset itself. When it restarted, I was on SIM2. Mmmm, interesting. So I then powered off and powered back on, still SIM2. Did it again, still SIM2. Powered off and left it off for about 30 seconds, and when back on, it was SIM1. Each time though, there was a singificant pause in phone functionality, almost like it was doing something - more than normal anyway. So basically, in a word, this thing sucks big time. I took the risk buying it off the web and paid the price (thankfully a small one). I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Hi Baffie, Yeah, same one. I'm baffled too, but it's no big deal, just annoying more than anything. How does yours sit? When I plug mine into the SIM socket, the cable juts straight out from there, with about a millimetre or two of the right-edge of the dul-sim section passing the right edge of the phone, so it doesn't even sit under the battery. Cheers, Pete > >Hi group, > > [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] > > Please reply to newsgroup - it's not my address in the header! >Hi Baffie, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >Cheers, >Pete i just folded (twice) the 'tail' that goes from the imitation sim to the dual holder and it just sits at the bottom half of the space under the battery. The cover was a tight fit to get back on, but as it's only a one off event i didn't mind. when i switch from one sim to the other (by turning off and back on) i only wait about one second *from when the backlight goes off* and then restart the phone. It does take a few seconds to initialize but nothing that's been noticeable but i guess if you're in a hurry it may be a hassle. all in all a lot less hassle than carrying two fones - which is what i used to do - anyone want to buy a T68? :-) Please reply to newsgroup - it's not my address in the header! |
