ekit dual number [US & UK] SIMs

Matha:

I was under the impression that you cannot change the password on the SIM but just the password to log on to your account.

Also, you said "Calling on the +44 number does not show caller id..". Do you mean that your number does not show up on the caller id of the other phone?

Well a normal part of sim card fact is that when the card comes with a PIN, you have the ability to change the PIN to anything you want. Have done that with several sim cards.......apparently ekit dual passport doesn't allow it.

As far as the lack of caller id....I used my home phone to call the +44 number...call went through and cell phone rang but caller id showed unknown.....not good.

I have one of these on order, and was looking at the instructions in the meantine. It says to enter "1" or "2" to select UK or US IMSI, then the PIN number at startup. Is the SIM card interpreting the "1" or "2" as the first digit of an, effective, 5-digit PIN at startup? If so, a phone whose "change PIN" algorithm is only capable of understanding 4 digits might not handle a change properly. Just thinking out loud...
