Hello,
I am receiving my Moto G XT1033 Dual Sim model tomorrow. I have some questions about Dual Sim functionality.
I have two sims. One of them is my primary number for calling and another one used only for 3g data (internet)
So is it possible to configure the phone to always use the second sim for 3g data and 1st sim for calls?
Thanks,
Simon Mandy

Does anyone know the best place/price to get an unlocked version of the Moto G with Dual SIM capabilities? And do you know if there is anything else that is different about this model besides the dual SIM capabilities?

Hi,
I already saw the Moto G dual SIM version XT1033 available in the most popular online retailers, it's around US$250 and as far as I know there are not major differences between the single and dual SIM version.
Regards.

I'm fairly certain the XT1033 has the same band support as the XT1032, not the XT1034.
AWS support is not, to my knowledge, available in dualsim.

Hello,
I'm not completely sure about which frequencies the XT1033 handles for 3G. I only know that it works by using the HSDPA protocol. When you refers AWS, you mean Advanced Wireless Service? If yes, do you know if there's a difference between the protocols HSDPA and HSDPA+?
Thanks in advance
Hi all:
As far as I heard that the Dual SIM version of Moto G is only support for 3G+2G. I would like to ask whether if we can choose which SIM to run on 3G by simply changing the option on setting, rather than we have to plug the SIM card on the dedicated SIM slot (e.g. SIM 1 or SIM 2) in order to ensure that we can enjoy 3G network on a certain SIM card?
May I ask if anyone who is using the Dual SIM version of Moto G and check this out for me, Please?
Thanks in advance!

Yes!
Only the first sim slot supports 3G network(also 2G) but the second sim slot supports only 2G.
You can use 3G services only in sim one.

That's what I am afraid of!
I'll prefer that it can choose 3G/2G mode by selecting the mode on setting rather than by the SIM card slot! Otherwise, I would have to swap the cards in order to get the thing done!!! Also,there is another drawback by choosing the 3G mode by the SIM slot. Since you have to swap the cards in order to use 3G mode on one of the sim card, you may have to re-certified your whatsapp/line once you are swapping your card!! That's pretty troublesome for users!!
Anyway, thanks for your help!!
Is the second SIM WCDMA 3G voice capable or is it only GSM as most dual-sim phones out there?
I can't seem to find any information on it, and this is an important piece of data for people living in countries with no 2G GSM network.
The second sim is GSM.

In other words, useless for Japan (where all voice calls go over WCDMA and there is no GSM network).

You are right in that it is useless in Japan. However, just to clarify the issue: Both SIM slots are 3g capable, but the phone forces the SIM card that is not used for data to 2g mode. Only one of the SIMs can be used for data at a time, just as you can only send texts or make voice calls through one at a time so it makes sense in any other country...
What is not clear is whether this is a Motorola decision to save battery or imposed by the chip set used or an Android OS issue. Covia Fleaphone has same issue, and provides a shortcut to switch the active SIM (active=3g enabled SIM), so it seems to be not just a Motorola decision...

I believe it has only one 3g radio in it and used by whatever Sim is being used for data So its a hardware issue

Sounds about right... It is a real pity how bad the documentation/specifications info is on dual sim phones. Make it very difficult to pick the right one, several people now claim that the Xperia M2 works with 3g on both SIMs simultaneously, but can't verify this...
At the same time I guess Japan (where I use it) is an unusual case, most places still have 2g, and Japan only recently started selling separate SIMs...

In dual sim settings change voice call settings to ask everytime before dialing. Phone will ask everytime which sim to dial number from.
Moto g xt1033 :
Sim slot 1 is damaged
So I am using only second sim slot.
But I am unable to switch to 3g on second sim.
3g network comes for few seconds and again switches to 2g.
Is there any way I can force 3g on second sim? I have rooted device
I know the phone testing menu method but it's not working
