My network service provider gave me a second data only sim card for my nexus 7 3g tablet. So I have 2 simcards but only one number...
Before I got the 2. data only sim everything was OK with the voice+data sim in my SGS3 Mini, but after I installed the 2. data only card in my tablet sms and video calls are "routed" to my tablet. I want to permanently install the tablet in my car so I need sms, video calls and notifications on my phone. I tried to google and read somewhere that the network would use the sim registered last or most recently as primary simcard, so I tried to turn off my phone for a few minutes, but this doesn't seem to solve my issue. I use cyanogenmod11 on both my tablet and phone, so is there anyway to configure calls, sms and video to my phone instead of the tablet?
I tried to search my service providers knowledge base but didn't find any info regarding my extra data only simcard so I guess this is a new option.

HI THERE
Actually i bought a Motorola XOOM 2 ,MZ616 , every thing is ok, Android 4 already down but my question is how to active the phone conversation , It has sim card but i wanted to use the sim for telephone conversation if possible . who can help me?
Thanks
You can't. The sim card is for 3G and GPRS data connections only. No SMS, MMS or dialing is possible.
I'm currently using two 3G enabled Sims in my Galaxy Core GT-i8262.
My Sole purpose of getting the Sim 2 was to use 3G Data/Internet on it, while using Sim 1 for Calling and texting only.
I went for Galaxy Core only because i have to use Voice and Data on 2 different Sims separately.
Therefore , i inserted the Sim 2, Went into Sim Manager > Enabled both Sim > Dual Sim Active
I also enabled "Receive incoming calls via Other Sim card while using Data service" in Both Sim 1 & Sim 2.
But when i selected this setting i received a popup "This might slow down the data transmission"
>Also i have Set Data as "Sim 2" in Sim 1, (So only Sim 2 will ne used for Data)
And Sim 1 as GSM Only while Sim 2 as WCDMA Only
But still, when i'm on a call in Sim 1, i can't use the 3G service of Sim 2 simultaneously. Only after disconnecting the call, Sim 2 3G Data starts working,
So the whole purpose of using Dual Sim goes wast when we can't use 3G internet on one sim while on call in the other.
Can anyone suggest how to enable this feature and also to avoid the "The slow data transmission" due to Dual Active Sim.. Otherwise this phone is just a piece of trash as i'll be on call most of the time and i won't be able to check my mail or Whatsapp msgs.
Please.. Anyone reply..
Ask this to samsung CEO he cannot answer that:sly:
Sent from my GT-I8262 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
While u r on a call on Sim 1 you cannot use the data connection from the Sim 2 even if its on WCDMA. But u can use 3G on the same sim on which the call is being recieved or done ...means Sim 1 can be used for both purpose simultaneously for Calling & Data connection on WCDMA ...even if u r on a call on sim 1 the data connection wont be lost...
hi! i'm not shure if i understand
i want to purchase this phone and i'm not shure if i can use in one sim voice over 3G and in the other one data over 3g.
I don't want to use voice and data in the same time...
Please help me
nobody can help me?
Hi Luciand, are you from Brazil?
My guess is that it is impossible to use voice on SIM 1 and data on SIM 2 because the smartphone have only one modem.
Even if it is capable of receiving calls on both SIM 1 or SIM 2, it is not possible to actively use the two SIMs at the same time.
For some smartphone to be capable of doing what you want, it should have two modems, which I believe would increase its cost and nobody would buy it...
I hope this helps, and if anyone knows better, please correct me!

You are able to select which SIMs data service the phone uses in the sim card manager under Data service network. However, you cannot use voice and data at the same time, regardless of which sim is set to be used for voice or data (at least here in the US on EDGE network.)
I purchased a S6 on EE a week ago. Has been working fine with an ee sim, however I have not made any calls or texts yet, just using the phone for Internet on wifi etc.
I have a regular three sim which I would like to use so I have trimmed it down with scissors and this made me cut part of the gold contact bit off (I read online this shouldnt affect the sim).
I'm guessing this phone is locked as when I insert the sim it detects a new sim has been inserted, it makes me restart too. Upon booting up however it says no sim card/ emergency calls only however I see a solid connection. I cannot make any calls as it says not registered to a network or something.
Now my question is that is the phone picking up the sim card? If yes why is it not prompting me with a sim unlock code screen? Secondly is my phone not detecting the sim card at all? Is that the reason why I am not prompted with a unlock code screen? All help is appreciated. Thank you.
Go onto settings, then onto Mobile Networks, then Network Operators, then Search Networks then click the Three carrier. It will take a few mins to search for all the networks so do not back out.
Hi there,
I got a European version of Lenovo Yoga tab 3 android tablet (YT3-X50L). The Y3-X50L version compared to YT3-X50M version, does not have a phone call app and it meant to be restricted for surfing only even though it has a sim card slot.
I have changed its firmware to YT3-X50M to be able to use it as a normal phone. Here is the problem:
the phone can send and receive sms through the cell network but using it to phone call, the calls get disconnected immediately after dialling and no phone call comes in either.
It seems to me that there should be a way to activate/unlock the phone ability. Any help is appreciated.

AMIRBEKAM,
I've got a similar YT3-850L, with SIM slot intended for DATA, not PHONE. I'd wondered what would happen if I flashed with the "M" ROM. You SEEM to have answered that question. BUT, may I ask you a few questions, please?
1) Is your tablet ROOTED?
2) If YES, was that before or after the "M" ROM was flashed, or both?
3) Is your SIM card ACCOUNT VOICE as well as DATA ENABLED with your CARRIER? (In the US, at least, DATA and VOICE/DATA SIM cards are NOT interchangeable. So, if that's the case with your carrier, that MIGHT be the problem, or part of it).
4) What approach did you use to flash the "M" ROM
5) Where did you GET the "M" ROM
I put my VOICE/DATA SIM card in my YT3-850L, and it didn't work for DATA. T-Mobile said it SHOULDN'T work with data on my tablet, as it requires a DATA ONLY SIM account for a DATA-ONLY tablet. They're shipping me a SIM card which they say will allow DATA ONLY on my "L" Yoga tablet. We'll see you THAT works.
THANKS!
I have got yoga tap 3 8 and I m not getting phone call neither I am able to call calls get disconnect as soon as I dialed the number
Hi guys.
I have been using the Honor-8 for over 6 months now. All of a sudden i am facing this really unexplained issue with my network.
I am able to make calls, send sms, use data 4G etc. but not able to receive incoming calls or sms. Sometimes calls get through but most of the time it says my number is not reachable or out of service.
I have shown my phone to my service provider. They did a network reset from their system for my number and on my phone too. It did not work. Then i did a factory reset on my phone and still it did not work. Later i even replaced my sim with a new one on the same number. This too did not help.
When i put in my sim onto another phone it works perfectly. Also when i use a different sim onto my phone then i dont face any such issue.
Can someone help me solve this issue please.

Before this i have two nova 2i that sudden no service and couldn't to connect to any network at first.. without any online and google search for a guide i strugle at first but then i found a way to connect my mobile data...
1. first if u are using sim one for data switch it up to sim 2 in setting and disable ur mobile data
2.u must switch the sim 2 network to gsm only in mobile network setting
3.now swipe to ur notifications bar and enable ur data connection after successfully connect to 2g network click on the 4g icon at ur status bar .. walla a internet connection successfully been initiated...
4.Repeat all the step after that for sim one if u want to use sim one as ur data sim
5.install huawei tweaker apps from playstore then enabled 4g network only from the apps do it for both sim if u want ur sim to never lost signal permenently.
***Important note if u are changing to other simcard or u format ur phone to factory settings u have to redo all the step again****
