The adapter toggles between both card on every phone off\/on. Therefore it was necessary to alter the PIN on one card to match the PIN of the other card. You can use the Treo to do it: go to the Phone-App, open the menu and select Phone Lock. Here you will have &#8220;Change PIN&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>To have the cable fit into the SIM slot, I had to modify it a bit. A sharp knife is sufficient and you might even remove more of the plastic to have it even better fit. It will still be enough plastic to hold a single SIM, as you have it still on the other site.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"bild-7.jpg\" href=\"http:\/\/metaviewsoft.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/bild-7.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/metaviewsoft.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/bild-7.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"bild-7.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The SIM-adapter fits now tight but firm into the slot and the remaining part can be put under the battery. You will see that the lid will also be a bit tight. But everything fits and for me it worked without a problem.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"bild-8.jpg\" href=\"http:\/\/metaviewsoft.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/bild-8.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/metaviewsoft.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/bild-8.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"bild-8.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a title=\"bild-9.jpg\" href=\"http:\/\/metaviewsoft.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/bild-9.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/metaviewsoft.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/bild-9.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"bild-9.jpg\" \/> <\/a><a title=\"bild-10.jpg\" href=\"http:\/\/metaviewsoft.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/bild-10.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/metaviewsoft.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/bild-10.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"bild-10.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I adjusted 2LaunchMe to have<\/p>\n<p>a) a toggle phone option (without PIN entering at the moment)<\/p>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<p>b) display 2 different colors for given and a different provider. This allows me very fast to see which SIM is currently active and the toggle phone option (I mapped it to a longer &#8220;z&#8221;-press) makes the switch very easy and fast. Also does 2LaunchMe count the traffic using the real network preference name as reference to distinguish between the ppp0-connection from one or the other card.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"bild-11.jpg\" href=\"http:\/\/metaviewsoft.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/bild-11.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/metaviewsoft.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/bild-11.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"bild-11.jpg\" \/><\/a> <a title=\"bild-12.jpg\" href=\"http:\/\/metaviewsoft.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/bild-12.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/metaviewsoft.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/bild-12.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"bild-12.jpg\" \/> <\/a><a title=\"bild-13.jpg\" href=\"http:\/\/metaviewsoft.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/bild-13.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/metaviewsoft.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/bild-13.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"bild-13.jpg\" \/> <\/a><a title=\"bild-15.jpg\" href=\"http:\/\/metaviewsoft.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/bild-15.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/metaviewsoft.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/bild-15.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"bild-15.jpg\" \/> <\/a><a title=\"bild-14.jpg\" href=\"http:\/\/metaviewsoft.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/bild-14.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/metaviewsoft.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/bild-14.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"bild-14.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There is an article for using a Dual-SIM in a Palm Centro <a href=\"http:\/\/metaviewsoft.de\/wordpress\/?p=181\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This time I want to give you some advise how to use a Dual-SIM adapter in your Treo 680: After reading several successful stories about the analog-Dual-SIM adapter in Treo phone from www.2-phones-in-1.com I decided to buy one for my Treo 680.
