Lightbulb Multiple Carriers On One Phone - 05-16-2007, 01:07 PM

Over time I have been trying to find a way to use multiple carriers on one phone. I honestly don't know if this is illegal because It consists of cloning SIM cards and placing multiple numbers on one sim card for use with an unlocked phone. I am currently using the Blackberry 8700g unlocked using a 12 in 1 sim card which provides the STK for switching numbers back and forth between T-Mobile and Cingular without turning off the phone. I have been using this technique for over 6 months and works lovely. I have found only one flaw you have to turn off and on the wireless tranceiver on the phone in order to pick up the new signal from the other provider when switching numbers. It works great. I have also been using youmail in order to get email notification from the other number when I receive voicemails. If an administrator of Blackberry Forums would just tell me that it was ok to post instructions I will but for the mean time send me a private message and I will explain how I did it. This post is not in anyway fake. The only way to find out how to is to Private Message me or send me a PIN message.


Using BBScreenShooter I was able to show these to prove that it is possible
On the First Picture if you look at the phone number at the top you will see 203809 I dont want people calling my cellphone so blocked the rest.



In this photo you will see the STK in action


In this Photo you will see how to switch numbers the one with the * is the one that is active


Here you will see the new number appear 203430 rest is blocked out.

i had read somewhere that 3G/64K cards cannot be cloned. Is it true? Have you tried cloning it? What about the carrier settings such as voicemail?

With a special tool only found on EBAY it might be possible thats all I can say in the open threads.


As far as voicemail

mainline 203777777 with internet
secondary line 203888888 without internet
email address [email address]

Step#1
Sign up for YOUMAIL

Step#2
setup your secondary line on YouMail

Step#3
Set it to send you an email when you receive a vmail message
[email address]
(Follow the Configuration Steps on YouMail and and enter them in your phone.)

Step#4
Switch numbers using the STK

Step#5
Now set up Blackberry to receive email from [email address]

Done.

I posted this in multiple locations. I figured I could since I am the originator of both. I use the same name here and there. ( I am talking about creating this thread here and on pinstack.)

yes there is a way to do this. But it is illegal! The number can only be used from one phone at a time the minute the number is used in 2 phones from what I heard telephone companies shut down the card for both phones.
