Does anyone know where I can get hold of a duel sim holder for the t68 (preferablt in the UK) it fits between the battery and the phone. You can switch between two sim cards by switching the phone on ond off. I used to have this on my t28 and would like to add this feature to my t68 if possible.
Thanks

That would be great if it was possible!!!
I use two different numbers so for me it would be perfect!!!
Let's hope somebody out there know something about this!

Gadgets galore (http://www.gadgets-galore.net/) do dual sims. Not sure if there's a T68 one out yet, but the guy who runs it is a member of this list, so if he reads this, maybe he'll let us know!!

That would be great!!!!!!
Let's hope he sees this thread!!!

I visited the site, they look cool the dual SIM-cardholders! But there is none for the T68...yet...
Let's hope for some more info on this!

I think that the Carphone Warehouse are going to have some in stock soon, When I got my phone the other week I asked him and he said in about a month..
Wait and see

Just a word of warning for when T68 dual sim holders do become availiable.
You have to switch the phone off and on to activate the other sim but when I had one on my 8210 this caused the voice dials and speed dialing numbers to be lost and had to be restored everytime you switched networks.
I don't no if this will be the same with the T68 but just be aware.
Posted by fusela
I thinl that the only items you lose are, unsaved text messages, and the call lists incoming/outgoing/missed as these are the only items I lose when I swap the sim cards in manually.

yes thats right. I wonder if it'll be the same thing with the dual sim thing...
Posted by mhorton
That's right, You will lose you text messages, Call List and any voice dialing amont some other things that I can remember
Posted by trancedancer
I understand loosing the unsaved SMS, but I wonder about the voice-commands...?
I would love to have this in my T68, so we'll just have to wait and see and hear when somebody has tested it! What is the webadress to the site where it will be available in a month?
Looking forward to it!!!

I had a dual SIM-card holder on a Motorola and, believe me, it only sounds cool. It's a hassle to turn the phone on and off (besides, I think it could be quite stressful for the whole thing), the other line is always off - unless you divert, and that is something you have to do every time. Finally, it makes the phone bulky and far less elegant than it is in its original appearance.
If both linies could be on, that would be an entiraly different story. This way, it's much easier to carry two phones or carry your extra SIM on top of your active one, beneath the battery (as I do now).

Ive hunted high and low but no sign of a dual sim battery or a High capacity battery for the T68 ....YET!!!!
Posted by mhorton
I had one for the Nokia 6210, I got so pissed off with it I took it out. I only used it about 5 days.
Posted by trancedancer
Maybe You won't get the same problems with your T68, I think it's worth trying once such a thing is available! It might work very well!
(Hi John!)

I totally agree with moodswinger,
dual-sim backs are just too much hassle, a better idea would be to contact your network as to the possibility of getting two lines on the same sim. (requires new sim? correct me if I'm wrong). And at the end of the day, do you want your sexy T68 getting 1/3-1/2 wider? Not me.
Posted by trancedancer
Is it possible to have two lines on ONE SIM-card....? I didn't know that there are SIM-cards like that! Is this true?
Posted by fusela
It is possible to have two lines on the same card but they have to the same network operator. e.g, orange have line one and line two. The SIM will know which tariff is the cheaper and call out using that tariff. However I have BT Cellnet for outgoing calls during the day and Orange for the Evening which is why I am after the dual sim holder.
Features that are lost are also network dependant when swapping SIMS, Orange loses call lists and text messages. Cellnet does not lose track of call lists but loses tect messages.
Voice labels are not removed.

I only know of Orange that do that in the UK. The only way I know that is because that my mate had that.

I have a SIM card that has both Vodafone and BT cellnet subscriptions on it. Its probably illegal but it works well.

Ohhh...sounds very interesting! And how did You get Your hands on that "baby" then???
Posted by herboan
Mobistar in Belgium will offer in one or 2 weeks a dubble numbering on their cards.
So lets say you have 2 numbers on one sim card, a private one and a business one.
So ypo have two profiles on your phone lets say business and private.
In the weekend you can only enable the private profile and all the business calls go to the mailbox like if the mobile is switched off but you still recieve private calls.
On outgoing calls you change the profile and decide whether you or the boss will pay for the call.
Thats the theory as I was explained last Thursday by Mobistar.
Problem is: The profiles are handels via a menu on the SIM which is a kind of background. So, if you change the background (on purpose or because someone sends you a new one and you install it by accident) it does not work anymore.
I can already see plenty of SMS with backgrounds beeing send to NOKIA users in Belgium just to cock up the system.
I will tell you how it works but I will certainly ask the boss to continue paying my phone bill. I will never ask for that feature.
(If you have no network with Mobistar now you can not phone on this line. With the new system you can not phone on the two lines. This is what I call engineering
)
Posted by mhorton
I would like to know how I can get one of them
Posted by ed4mon
I've got 2 lines on my Orange sim card with two separate tariffs.
They are both active at the same time and so there is no need to switch between lines to receive calls, although you do have to in order to make calls.
I'm waiting for the twin sim holder that is rumoured to be in the making, but heck, ain't that the same with everything?!

hi, how did you made it? ...it's great!
Posted by moodswinger
I wonder if it is possible to "fix" the SIMs so that they can do a number of nasty things - inluding free calls, free roaming, line/number changing, and what not? I also wonder if there is a market for that kind of "products".
Now, don't get me wrong, guys, I'm neither promoting nor seeking such products and services, I am just musing aloud.
Cheers,
M'Swinger

Hi,
I managed to have a dual sim on my T68! I had one on my 8210 and when I sold it I kept the Dual-sim! So I took it off the back cover and fitted it to my T68! The only thing is that it does not fit underneath the battery as it is such a tight fit! So I usually carry it in a leather case and have the dual sim on the outside by trailing the ribbon between the battery and the handset! It works a treat! I swop between Orange and Genie!

If you check out cellularitalia and follow the link for GHOST you will find a duel sim with a battery to match called GHOSTT68i.
Posted by geoffreyw
Here is a website that advertises a dual sim for the T68

I have used it with 3 different mobile operator's number.

I visited this multisim site (Taiwanese). The product sounds amazing. However, I would prefer hearing some user opinions before ordering. Unfortunately their discussion forum is in some Chinese language that I can't follow properly
Anyone here ever tried this multisim card?
Posted by cassh
Sorry the link is www.cellularline.com and follow the ghost link.

i was told by the sale staff that it will be in stock in 1 or 2 weeks
Posted by ferrarista44
turning the phone on and off is no prob...
it's losing some things in the phone memory....
.
.
maybe the phone can be made to "realize" that you have two numbers.
then it wont erase things in the phone memory that is specific to a SIM number.
Posted by DREWMARK
I called the multisim company and they told me that it only works with an orange sin card, and that you can only use it on orange. Well phones 4u do the dual sim and i have been using it for over three months now, but the truth about it is that its real crap and i rather go for the multisim pack. I placed my order today. And i hope to get it soon.

Oops i made a mistake thats the problem you face when sending a post through wap. About the dual sim the battery life is not very good compared to the real battery and at times when i turn it off it still shows the same network. And thats not too good. Anyway i might be taking a risk getting the multisim, but i dont mind because its even cheaper than the dual sim which is fragile with a poor battery life.
Posted by nippit
here is an English site for the multi sim card product.
not cheap by the way..

Phone 4 U in the UK have them, the battery is a lower capacity, I think its 540mAh so won't last as long.
I think they are also about £50..

that simmagic II thing cant possibly be legal.... i want one
anyone have any idea where i can get my hands on one?
Posted by nippit
Now legal or not. Lets see.
I have downloaded the user manual for the SimMagicII to see how i works.
Listen to this it in fact decrypts the subscriber information from the SIM card. It says that to decrypt the data (scan they call) from the sim card is a 4 to 10 hour progress. The software I guess tries every possible combination one by one to decrypt the Subscriber code.
Ok to decrypt the data of the subscriber from the card is legal in any country as much as decrypting the public phone chip card or the pay TV smart card......
The danger is if somebody nice decrypt and clones your sim then they can make phone calls under your account. the HLR can not distinguish the difference between the calls from the original SIM and the cloned SIM.
That is why they can not decrypt the second generation SIM as they are using stronger encryption. But all we need is more computing power.. Then same will apply to that too
I WANT ONE SURE...
