dual sim card arrangement question - General Questions and Answers

is it possible to use one sim for data and a 2nd sim for calls? or do you need to switch from using sim A 100% to sim B 100%?
if so, what kind of device/adapter would be able to accomplish this
TIA

I don't have any dual sim phone (I have never had one).. it just seemed like an interesting idea due to phone plans.. I currently have a note 2 - could I put in some dual sim adapter to get it to work like that?

Dual sim for our Unis?

Hi
Is there any way to have 2 SIM cards in our UNIĀ“s?
Gracias
been wondering of that too. just bought a second hand uni to tried out
I had one for my universal last year and it worked well.
It involved trimming your sim card a bit but it comes with a template to use.
I got mine form ebay and think it was called something like Ghost Dual SIM?
I see this:
http://www.simore.ch/
I think that it is serious product (you can ask the company for special test)
I have this and I use up to 5 different numbers with no problem:

No, I can't have connected same time 2 phone numbers!
But alternative (having one number each time), I have the opportunity to have up to 16 different numbers (and networks), in the same SIM card.
I change from one to another number, through STK service, menu.

Thanks a lot. What products did you purchase? I understood in the web that you have to move some data using your pc from original sims into the sim they provide you.
I don't want to use a cut sim...

I bought the 'Supersim 16in1 SIM', which comes with a blank sim card that can hold up to 16 numbers, it has the programmer which can read the original SIM and then copy to the supersim card, and the nessesary software.

do you need to reset your device in order to activate other line?
does it support HSDPA?

No need to reset.
Just activate STK menu and choose desired line.
It supports UMTS (I don't know if it is the same or not as HSDPA)
Guys...i have checke Duosim and im impressed...
....but what if one of the local networks is 3G and the other is not?
please guys....any idea...
For that you have to have Duo-X2 (Cut sim) to use. This supports both GSM and 3G. I have ordered which is on its way. The supplier mentioned that both SIMs will be active with autoswitch function.
auto lock
i ve got a prob with ghost dual sim,
after using it, n still being inside my uni, sometime the device is auto locked with a password which i never have set.
only way to pass beyond this password is to reset the device.
any idea how to get rid of this ****.

[Q] Dual Sim Card for Galaxy S

Hi, has anybody bought a dual sim card for their Galaxy (im in the UK). I am aware of the login I wil have to do with google voice when I switch but how do I setup the APNs and do they allow to answer calls on both sims or do I have to swap between them ??
Thanks for looking
Cheers
Payneardo
Looking forward to that too.

I had one for my HTC Touch Diamond. I cutted my 2 sim cards into 2 little ones in order to fit the metal sim holder. I had 2 options: 1st i could switch the operators by pressing one assigned button. 2nd i could define timming to automaticaly switch. No way you can have 2 operators at the same time since galaxy dont have 2 antennas....
simor dual sim adaptor are compatible with our samsung i9000!

Z3 Dual

I just got this device, model D6633. Seems that it's just the same as regular Z3 except for dual SIM card. I was wondering if root will be achievable on this model once its out for the single SIM Z3?
Thanks! Fantastic phone by the way. best allrounder on the market
As my experience with Note 3 Duos, there is no differences in rooting and recovery conpare to 1 sim variant.
Ps: is Z3 Dual enable HSPA on both sim, OP?
Im actually curious about this as well as I have the opportunity to get the Dual sim version but need to root

Where did you buy it? Online? I'm looking for importing it from Poland, the only European country who looks to be receiving it.
How's the dual sim's functionality? For example when you receive or do a call or a SMS, is there a button to switch lines or what? Where do you put the second SIM? Is the flap bigger? Sorry for questions, never had a Sony Dual...

The microSD card is moved next to the charger which now has a bigger flap. Both SIMs go next to each other in the right side flap. I'm only using it with 1 SIM card right now, but on the Call buttons and so on there's a small "1" so I'm guessing if I had two SIM cards there would be two buttons or some way to make the call from whichever SIM you want. You cannot also use two simultaneous data connections. the whole setup is pretty neat to be honest. Loving this, can't wait to travel now. lol.
I bought it locally (I live in Beirut, Lebanon) for 800 USD. Pretty steep but that's the way things go around here.

2. both data connection simultaneous, means you can have double speed??? That would be awesome
3. Youyr version is 16GB? Any news if exist 32GB variant?

According to this only the D6616 has a 32GB option. That's disappointing as the D6603 will be the 'mainstream' model.

Could you change your sim to sim 2 slot and test 3G/HSPA with your phone? On my Note 3, sim 2 slot only work in 2G/Edge mode.
how is the battery life on the dual sim version? is it similar to the D6603?

That is inaccurate. check my post on page 1 containing a screenshot that clearly shows you can only use one SIM data connection.
Do you mean, that you can only use one connection at a time or that one slot is 2g/3g/4g and one is only 2g?

He misunderstand my meaning. He installed one sim and don't want to change sim slot to test. As Z3 D6633 manual: only one 3G/4G connection at a give time but on any slot/sim.
My Note 3 Duos has 1 slot can be used as 3G connection, another only for 2G

[Q] Dual or Single Sim ?!?

Really? Is that a thing? I have never heard of such a thing as dual SIM causing the phone to lag or anything.
It certainly depends on your preference. As far as I know, Dual SIM phones are great since you don't have to carry multiple devices, which can be a good thing or a terrible thing. Good thing because one device, duh! Bad thing because, two connections, 1 battery. But if you are like me and don't care for carrying too many devices in your pocket, go for the dual SIM. It is great and it certainly doesn't lag.. (where'd you read that it lags?)

I use single sim. and it's fine. I never heard of the phone lagging on dual sim.
What I can say is, it's depends on what you need. If you don't want to carry multiple phones, buy the dual sim.
especially more people (at least here) uses dual sim, and also more custom roms are available for the dual sim.

X2 Pro international, single SIM to Dual SIM

Hi,
Went to the local shop, opened the SIM tray and we saw there were connectors for 2 SIM cards. Seems that there is only the SIM tray (easy to modify) that changes in the hardware.
My question is : is it possible to modify the software/phone for it to recognise 2 SIM cards like the Chinese variant?

nope can't find one.
But i was able to adapt it and it recognized the second sim. But won't connect the second sim to the network as it doesn't have a second IMEI "yet".
So trying to find solutions with some friends.

This is to "fix" an IMEI.... i need to add one. SIM1 connects with no issue... where as SIM2 can't as it doesn't have an IMEI.

A quick question, what happens if you pull the SIM1 (the fully working one) out? Does the SIM2 (the limited one) work now?
And what if you physically switch them in the SIM card tray?
This might be a great test to whether it's a physical or a software limitation.

SIM1 + SIM2 = you only see the information
SIM2 only = it says insert sim
SIM2 SIm into SIM1 slot = works normal
we tried "nearly" everything, and the only possibility would be to unlock bootloader, and flash a ROM with pieces of the Chinese ROM and still there we might not even make it work as there is no second IMEI - I guess it's possible to flash it one way or the other, but to much work. It's easier to buy the chinese one, adb pm (delete) what apps you want to delete (like the launcher, we test on the global x2Pro with nova installed and it worked fine.

Maybe only for you. I used to buy dual sim phones in the past, but nowadays network providers have all-in packages which allows me to use my sim in the EU with no extra cost.
Sent from my OPPO CPH2025 using XDA Labs
That is correct. But I compared the bands, and they are the exactly the same as the Chinese version. Now I'm sending back the global version and getting the Chinese from wondamobile Monday.
Will be testing it and making the changes I need to make it work. We also tested the launcher issue, and it's an easy fix. So if you NEED dual SIM I think the Chinese version will be fine unless you need languages that are not on the Chinese firmware.

Of course, I forgot to mention it's just my opinion; I have access to some data-only packages which offer unlimited data with decent speeds - these data plans would utilize dual SIM the best.
Anyway, may I ask you couple of questions (mostly just clarifications):
- Is there eSIM possibility for the Find X2 Pro?
- VoLTE and VoWiFi working?
- Is there any notification restriction (autostart - as other guys have mentioned for the Chinese version)?
- Can you set your fingerprint as an access to some apps/password fill (the same way Samsung does it with One UI)?
Thank you Sir!
That's for you. But I have two lines work and private. Thus I need two Sims.

I still hope the Global ROM will be successfully ported on a Chinese device as, from what I understood, the PDEM software has some limitations regarding notifications and running apps? Furthermore I'd appreciate VoLTE and Hey Google fully running.
I don't think it will be an issue. VOLTE is often a carrier/manufacturer issue. I had that probleme with a op7p before, and there was a quick fix for it... I'm not really worried about it.
As of the ok Google thing...we will see. Let me get the phone between my hand and I'll see that with Mauro.

As far as I know there is no eSim option (I've read somewhere)
Both VoLTE and VoWIFI working
About notification restrictions: I haven't experienced any issues with notification. WhatsApp, email, telegram, etc works ok.
I'm sure that fingerprint can be set for some apps. I'm sure about that (I think the device asks you at first setup)

I don't think so as apparently OPPO has completly blocked the possibility to add an IMEI. So it's going to be hard.

IMEIs are primarily used as an anti-theft measure and adding or changing them is made all but impossible as a result.
I was considering getting this phone (there is a crazy deal for it available in Germany at the moment) but the lack of Dual-SIM is really making me hesitate. It feels so arbitrary that they removed it and practically all devices in this price range feature it. And wireless charging. Who ever though that wireless charging was superfluous -.-
