Quad Sim Quad Band phone now being sold

Mine's the F-160, correct. And thanks for the help.

I've got (right now):
- eKit US/UK in SIM1
- eKit US in SIM2
- T-Mobile USA in SIM3
- Red Pocket Mobile in SIM4

I can't check my balance with Red Pocket (*777#) but it seems to work alright otherwise.

SIM slot 1 loses its mind every few hours ("No SIM") and I have to reset the phone. It may just be a seating problem. I reseated the SIM last night and we'll see if it's more reliable. If not I'll move the SIMs around and see if that improves anything.

It would be simpler if the phone worked about the same with any SIM slot, but there aren't exactly a lot of quad-SIM phones. It's certainly increasing my convenience.

I haven't tried GPRS yet - I'll have to do some configuration and that's low priority right now (I'm on holidays in San Diego).

I have not put ANY ekit SIMs in my K160 yet. I have two single number SIMple Calling SIMs that should not be an issue, but I wonder about the dual IMSI SIMs and their wanting a PIN number on startup. I have had no problems of mystery reboot whit the T-Mobile SIM is in slot 1. So that might be the slot that causes issues. [Mine has 8 sensors on that slot and not 6 like the other slots.] Yesterday, I had a Tru SIM in slot 4 and it would be blank rather than saying T-Mobile as in slots 1 & 2. Tru and H2O [using an XE Mobile SIM cause problems in slot 1. The XE Mobile SIM says XE Mobile when in slot 1 but AT&T when in slots 3 or 4. [When I do not mention a slot in the above sentences it is because I have not had the 'right' SIM in that slot to observe the behaviour.]

As multi-IMSI SIMs come into broader use, the usefulness of a 4 SIM phone will probably decrease. Let's hope they perfect the 4 SIM phone before they decide they are not needed any more.
