dual sim question.

[Guest daddyo]

I have a dual sim woking well on my M3100.

To transfer bwtween sim cards I disable the phone and reenable it and it switches fine.

My problem is that one sim card is web'n'walk enabled and data useage is not a problem

The other is an O2 card and I do not want to use any data on this card whatsoever.

What is the best way to disable data useage before I switch to the o2 card and to enable it again when I switch back to the tmobile card? I have and would like to keep GPRS permanently connected (via the fit4cat tweaker) on the T-mobile card if possible

Just wondering which Dual SIM adaptor you've got?

Its a "goode" twin sim card which required cutting of the sims.

I was using it in a w800i but you had to power off the phone to change sims. The instructions state you enter a code #3370# to switch sims but this doesn't work.

On the m3100 it its relatively easy to turn off the phone and back on again via comm manager so its well suited i.e. you don'e need to power off the phone completely to switch.

Working with 3g sims as well

Concerning my original question I think pauls programme posted yesterday will suit my needs with respect to turning off data when i switch to the o2 (expensive data tarif!) sim.

Thanks Paul

Hi Paul

A quick question for you. How do you switch the phone on/off via Communication Manager?

I have a work phone and personal phone and want to just use the SPV with 2 sim cards in it

I bought a Dual Sim from MobileGuru which advertsised it worked with this phone. When I got it I cut the cards and tried switching by turning the phone on and off but had no joy - it always comes back on as Orange (my work sim is Vodafone and the phone is unlocked and works with this when used on its own

Also as you know there is no phone pad to enter the recommended code (other than selecting phone and using the number pad which did not work)

Mobileguru have sent me 2 further products - a Super ghost dual sim (identical to the first) - and a universal dual sim (which does not actually fit in the phone!) - without success

I love the phone but am getting a bit frustrated at this

Thanks

You know you are not actually allowed to cut up the SIM cards as they are still owned by the network :rolleyes:
