I have seen a few of these online but cant get any info about their suitabillity in UK, on UK sims.
They scan/write up to 12 sims onto one sim, you then have an "On screen" menu to choose between the different ones, WITHOUT having to switch the phone ON then OFF to swop sims.
Any info on UK stockists would be usefull to me.

i dont think they are compatible with Sim cards at the moment, i seen some before, and they only work with old sim cards, which no one have anymore anyway.

Yes, they may not be compatible with UK sims, this is what i'm trying to find out, they ARE being used by Esato members in South east Asia, so all there sims must be like the ones we used to use here before 1999. but why is it that i hear of these kits being sold in UK ???

@ Pachy your guess is as good as mine m8, would be sweet having one though, if it worked with the current type of sim cards here in the UK.

@BlackBauer24
Yes, the annoying thing is i found 2 sites that sell them, one is "mail returned user unknown" the other is sending an automated "we will deal with your enquirey as soon as we can" but never replying. anyway i have one that is two cut down sims in one clever sim, so it fits p9, but its only 2 numbers and in SE phones its the old "switch off/on" game, but in a Nokia it can be changed using a keypad code which is nice.

I dont know about the UK, but they work with the US phones. I am in the military and used one while I was traveling to add a few prepaid sims to it while in Asia. (HK, Singapore, UAE, Baraine, Thailand) They all worked fine and still do actually back home in the US.

@offcina, i just can't see the point in "Drive by" style posting like that !!
Read the title again, it says this,

"12 in 1 Sim card kits, has anyone tried one in UK".

I am well aware of Simenu, Sim max, Sim doctor, Sim edit, Simspy, all these systems work in lots of countries, but they don't seem to be available for UK sims, the algorithms are different after 2002 on UK sims.
So the thread is asking if anyone has found a system for UK use.
