Yeh especially on the K750i since you have to go through that annoying phone wizard! I'm using one of the dual sim adapters (from eBay) and it's working fine, however your calls list gets erased as you switch sims.

Is the MagicSim the one that doesn't require cutting? If so, does it mis-shape the back of the phone?
Or did you buy one that required cutting ? I don't mind cutting, just need to know which fits.

I'm using Magicsim on my K600i. I'll be listing down some of its features:
- You can switch manually or automatically between 2 sims. I personally use the manual switch especially when i'm out. Auto switch drains the battery faster because, unlike Nokias, SE phones shuts down to switch between sims.
- It doesn't ruin the battery or battery cover because the 2 simd requires some cutting. both sims will be placed in a very small adaptor and a metal cover. Then you can slide this to the sim compartment so there's it's like having one sim only.
- The Magicsim Icon is found in the Entertainment Menu. It replaces your Operators Sim Menu (Globe Srvcs for Globe/The Mall for Sun). The tiltles are editable. Instead of having Sim-1, i renamed it to SE K600
- In the package, there are sim adaptors provided. Just in case, you want to switch in using one sim on your mobile, you can just out the cut sim on the adaptor.
- When you switch sims, SE phones shuts down and turns on automatically. The set up wizard prompts you everytime you do this.
- Call lists for both sims are recorded separately.
- Messages (Sent Items/Inbox etc) are not deleted when you switch between sims.

I have DualSim adapter that doesn't require cutting SIM cards. It also has that menu under Entertainment for switching between SIM cards (manually or automatically).
As, already sad, it takes a long time to switch from one to another SIM.
When I select to switch to another SIM card the phone freezes for 20 sec. then starts to reboot and it hangs before booting (the screen is black) for additional 1 min or so! Then he boots up and it takes a lot longer to boot up then it takes without DualSim adapter.
My question is this:
If I use some of that older DualSim adapters that require to shut down and then power up mobile phone will that be faster then the current switching from that menu? Will I get rid of that 20 sec freeze and long booting after that or not?
P.S. With the use of that DualSim adapter my stand-by time (with the same phone use) is reduced from 4 to 3 days and I only switch SIM cards two times per day (before and after work)!!!

Well, you would have to double every thing inside your phone (except the screen and similar stuff) so I don't think that will ever happen - unless you do it yourself

Hello. I was wondering if anyone could tell me where in eBay have you bought Dual Sim adapters that work well with the K750i.
I have seen many adapters in eBay, but I don't want to have the same problem I have with my current adaptor: each time the mobile restarts, it picks the same SIM card. In my older Siemens phone, this was no problem because the phone didn't restart when I changed SIM cards, but with the K750i, because it does restart, it ends up always loading the same SIM, ignoring the other one.
Thanks.

I had the same problem with my Sonyericsson K510i, it is related with the way the two cut out sim are adjusted in the adapter, The technician installing dual sim tried several times smoothing out jagged edges of the cut up sims till he got it right.
