I have two phones and I am tired of swapping the SIM card between N-Gage QD and the other.....

Is there a way to use N-gage w/o the sim ?? Or can I duplicate the sim card ??

Thanks.

No, but you can get any old/used/inactive/dummy SIM card and use it.

On the contrary - you can duplicate a card and it will cause no error for the network. Msg and phone calls will come to the card that last contacted the network - eg You made a call or send a msg, etc.
In Poland, one of the serwice providers even offers yu to legaly buy a second active card - a duplicate of the first one, and use them simultaniuosly.

I thought the offline profile allows you to use the phone without a SIM card!

Yes, with newer phones like the 6630, but the N-Gage and N-Gage QD require a SIM card to be present (it doesn't have to be active/usable, but the card has to be in the phone).

Hi Sli...
I think if you want to use N-Gage QD then SIM cad must be in the phone even it would not be active. I haven't tried but you can try with duplicate card with legal activation. Hope it will work successfully for you.
