Title: SIM Extender
Post by: KMM on February 19, 2020, 03:33:23 am
Hi, I'm new to this forum and new to the Cosmo Communicator. But I've been a long time user of several smartphones (among which the Nokia Communiator 9110) and I may have an interesting tip for users.

I've been using a SIM-extender on my other phones and tried it on the Cosmo. And it's working perfectly! The SIM-extender allows  you to use two physical SIMs and an SD card simultaneously.

You can buy a SIM-extender here:

Make sure you select the correct one, there are more versions available (depending on size of the SIM, but also on where the SIM-slot is located on the phone and how the SD card needs to be inserted, this one however seems to be the correct one).

I don't know if you can use the eSIM as a third option, I don't have any experience in using eSIMs.

I know. I tried that and ruined both a SIM card and SD card... I prefer the extender-method, much safer, very cheap and easy to replace a SIM. OK, it doesn't look very nice, that pimple on the outside, but it works well
