I'm looking for a dual SIM phone that will work in the US, China and Taiwan.
Does HTC make a phone that will meet these requirements?
If not, can anyone suggest one??
Thanks.
HTC do NOT manufacture a dual SIM device.
--but--
You could use a dual SIM adapter in an HTC Phone.

Oh ok. Where might I find one of those? Are there different adapters? If so, which would you recommend?
This link is for a UK website, but I'm sure there are US ones (I'll try and find one) it should give you the basic idea.

Basically, the adapter connects two SIM cards to the single socket. The cards can be switched between (sadly you can't answer calls at the same time as WM would commit suicide) using software relatively easily.
This would be nice:

The only dual SIM phone that I sell is the Samsung D880. Its a tri band phone which lacks 850 for AT&T in the US, but it will work everywhere else.
Its far from a smartphone though.

I haven't seen any other posts on this for the g2 so here 'goes.
Has anyone found a dual sim adapter that works with the g2? I was thinking about trying the one for iphone4 that's a microsim adapter, and just use one of those micro sim to regular sim adapters with it, has anyone else tried this, or just found one that works with this phone? I know there's a few chinese manufacturing sites that you can specify what you want and they'll make it for you.
i'm more so curious as to why you would want 2 sims in a phone?
I've got a sim for work and a personal sim, it'd be nice if I could have them both in the same phone, alot of ppl have dual sims in their phone.
Didn't know u can have two sims in a phone.. any updated info?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
some people also move around a lot from country to country, so dual sim would be useful

Yes there are a few phones with dual sims, but they are also dual line.....I haven't seem one in avery long time though. I'm talking back in the days when a BB77XX series was the hottest thing in town.....
I have no clue whether these work. Found 'em when I was searching for a dual sim setup.

anybody tried it?
Simore dual SIM card adapter is compatible with all mobile phone operators and all SIM and USIM platforms (prepaid and subscription).

Taken from the page you provided. Might be that they are compatible, but I wouldn't put my trust in any company whose domain name ends with .ch
I implore you to reconsider.

I gladly reconsidered. At first I though .ch was Chile (FYI Chile is .cl and China is .cn)
If you search online you'll see that simore have a really, really bad reputation for both the product and the customer service. I've used www.magic-sim.com a few times with excellent results

I've seen some chinese made phones that have two SIM slots, it's mainly used when traveling between mainland china and hong kong, I can't see much use for it elsewhere as the geography would be so great you typically would just swap out the SIM card.
I'm looking at this phone over the Droid 4 (not available in UK either but has been made to work).
So, am I correct in saying that to make it work on a UK network, is to just put a UK sim into the roaming slot and It shall work?
I want to be 100% on this before I go ahead and get one.
If there's anything else, please could someone shed some light on this?
Many thanks

Unfortunately there is no slot to put the sim into, the sim card is fused to the board &, as of now, you would be stuck w sprints international network.
Saint sent this from his Q using xda premium
Indeed.
Supposedly there is a GSM version of the phone coming to AT&T. Look for the XT898

Ok, thanks both of you.
I was under the impression that there was an extra sim slot for using roaming sim cards abroad.
Sooo, this XT898 - are there any clues to when it'll be released yet?

There is a SIM slot, but there's no way to access it. Sprint has embedded their own SIM, and is it encased/soldered to the board literally. Impossible for the user to access without some potentially dangerous hardware hacks.
No clue when the XT898 is going to be released... I get a pretty good deal with Sprint, so I've never really cared about looking at phones on any other carriers... no offense.
Good luck!
How come GSMArena claim that it has a Sim Slot then and that it is GSM capable? :s I too have been looking at importing one of these into the UK to use on the now EE network (Orange UK and T-Mobile UK) Can somebody please confirm that this is deffinately not the case and that it will deffo not work in the UK for us GSM People?

We don't get many good phones these days here in Europe...

See my post DIRECTLY above yours... Oy ve.
I already want to import 2 devices to Germany, but actually I can't find anyone who would send me the devices.:crying:
In the UK (like the rest of Europe) we have little or no choices when it comes to QWERTY phones, so I would be interested to know if its possible to get a UK (or gsm) one over here.

As of right... now, the only option in Europe for this phone is to find an international seller on eBay and mod it as posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929143. There is scuttlebutt about a GSM variety coming soon (898?), but nothing official as of yet. Good luck, hope you find something soon.

Another new phone (for me) another dual sim adapter...
This has been helpful for people in the past so i'll offer my dual sim experience with my new S6.
For any of you interested in getting a dual sim adapter for your S6 I can say that I've not had any issues with the Magicsim I purchased for my Galaxy S6 (well actually thats a lie as the first one i was sent didn't work with my EE sim but they sent out a replacement and thats working perfectly).
http://www.magic-sim.com/product/id/38/MAGICSIM_ELITE_-_GALAXY_S6__DUAL_SIM_ADAPTER.html
Heres their vid...

Looks like they do one for the S6 EDGE too.
s6 has dual sim version and two sim cards online at the same time with dual standby and always on options

True, but if you have the standard version is a great device :good:
Awesome, thanks! ... Getting one now
So this works only 1 sim card at a time i believe?
Also how does texting work? Is there 2 seperate applications for texting or does all the texts go into one app mixed up.
Also does the phone need to be carrier unlocked before this will work?

Yep its essentially for SIM switching so only 1 SIM is 'active' at a time, which is exactly what i need as I cross a country boarder every day for work and so have a different SIM for each country to avoid roaming fees.
I set SMS's to save to SIM which means that i only see that SIMs SMS's when active
Yep, the phone would need to be unlocked i'd guess (although mine was never network locked)... hope this helps!
This is pretty neat may buy one.

Went and got myself one of these. Works great. Thanks yeezy1
Two Sims in one phone is cool, I owned dual sim phones in the past but with my S6 now I use apps. Virtual sim and flyp. You guys should check them out. They work great like real dual sim.

Is there any way to tell if if you get getting the single or dual sim version? I am looking to buy this off aliexpress but the listing doesn't say what model nor if it is single or dual sim or not.
Thanks,

Why don't you ask the seller? That will be better than here, in case you get something which was not expected. Then you can take the seller to task.
Yeah I did but it will probably take more than week for them to reply because of the New Year they got.
One thing I could do on my old One plus 6T was to buy a dual sim tray from ebay and it handled it well. Is this phone dual SIM capable? I can never find out information.

Unfortunately not.

No, of course not.
Download the PDF user manual.
Instructions clearly describe a slot released by a pin, which details one MicroSd and one MicroSIM slot.
There are no other options described for additional SD or SIM cards, and the instructions are clearly illustrated.
