Just a few quick questions if I may,
1) I am looking to use this phone (6+) to dual sim, 1 for internet access and the other for calls and texts. Is this phone capable of using both sims at the same time or is it one that uses 1 at a time, even though 2 is inserted
2) I can't find stock (Readily available) anywhere except Three UK, but they don't list it as dual sim, is this phone dual sim or did they release a single sim variant?
Thanks in advance

1. Both Honor 6 and Honor 6plus(6+) are Dual-SIM,Dual-standby and Dual activity. You can use 2 sim cards same time.
2.Buy from international webstore if you dont mind wait a couple of weeks

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.

1. Yes
2. I'm extremely sorry, I made a (big) typo. I meant you CANNOT do that. post edited.
3. 16GB. The supplier said only the single SIM Z3 had a 32GB variant. he may be right and just as easily wrong.

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?

I got 7 hours of screen on time and 20 hours of standby and I still had 9%. Unreal. All this without even Greenify and debloating.
Oh I got the answer when OP did not answer my question . I'm looking to buy Z3 Dual in next some days.

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?

Are you going to import the phone from Poland by going there yourself?
I am also looking for a place to order this phone and ship to Finland.

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

But I'll wait one or two months for a price drop.
I just ordered one from eBay. It comes from US.
Hi all,
I am now the proud owner of an AM7. However, I have a problem! I cannot get the 2nd sim card to work. The phone only shows bars for the Micro Sim - the Nano Sim is not showing anywhere.
Is there something I am suppose to do to activate the Nano Sim or should it pick it up automatically? Also - I had real problems getting the Nano Sim to fit in the 2nd tray - it seemed a fraction too big. Did anyone else experience this??
Thanks!!

Hello,
Do you have the 16GB/2GB Ram or the 32GB/3GB Ram version of the AM7?
Based on the reviews I checked, the feature of using 2 sims is only limited to the 32GB/3GB Ram version

No I have the International 16GB/2GB however I am almost certain i've seen details saying the dual sim is available on both models. Personally not once have I seen anything to say it was only limited to the 3GB Gold version and I did alot of phone researching.
I really hope this isn't the case anyway!!
Thanks a lot

The nano sim is perfectly sitting in the tray. You should place the sim according to the cut side. The terminals of the sim should face above. May be your nano sim is not cut properly? Is this sim coming as nano sim from the company or you have cut it?
I am having the same problem in sim one. It was working well but now it is not detecting anymore. I think in my case the slot terminals have dislodged.

Hi and thanks for the help. The sim was cut ever so marginally to fit into the tray - however I am surprised I had to trim it at all? When I put it back into my company iPhone it still works. It certainly looks like the sim is sitting correctly but the phone has not detected it once. I'll try again later tonight.
I am concerned though that the 16GB/2GB International version does not support dual sim - only the gold 32GB/3GB version - but as I mentioned above i've never seen this written anywhere anywhere.
Do I assume there is nothing that needs to be 'switched on'??
You should see two sim toolkits in applist. Always, not only if there are 2 cards inserted. You could check build.prop and local.prop for dual sim entries. All should be true. And well 2gg model is single sim normally. Only Chinese models and gold model are dual sim. Maybe you could make it work with patching prop files.
I do have a sim toolkit app but it will not open. So everything seems to indicate the international version does not support dual sims. So disappointing - oh well...... ebay here we come...
Thanks a lot...

It may be too late but in phone menu, could you try keying in *#06# and if 2 IMEIs display, then it should be dual sim.
Hi guys Im from the Philippines. Bought a China-released and rooted Samsung A9 Pro recently. I drcided to get it because it is dual sim (even is the second sim slot is a hybrid one), dual LTE and its huge battery at 5000mAh. I unfortunately did not try the messaging function. I noticed that every time someone sends me an SMS i get 2 same messages (1 for each sims). Also, i get super delayed to no messages at all on the second sim. I notices this specially if i need to get an OTP from bank providers. Need help how to make the second sim function while having it work here in Manila. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
del
Same thing here. Two messages of every single message. Very annoying.
Mines fine. No double sms.

Hello everyone,
Since i got my honor 8 dual sim 64GB, im living with a problem, that i dont know if its a issue or not.
If i just use 1 SIM card at SLOT, i cant make or receive any calls, just internet data. If i put 2 SIM cards, i have to set one to make calls, and the other to internet data. The question is, why cant i just use one sim card, to make calls and internet data?
Regards

You can assign which sim card uses call or data
Go into Dual Sim Manage and select from here buddies..
I never had a problem so far and running 2 Sims and micro SD card sometimes..

Thats what i Said. I can select which sim uses call or data when I put 2 sim cards. But if i use just one i cant make calls or receive. Just work for data.
What i realized is the slot that I set to 3g/4g is not able to make or receive calls.
L10 is not a dual sim device this is a single Sim only US version. European and Chinese version are dual sim..
So once again if this were a L09 /L19 you would need to go into Dual Sim Management as I said before..

It was a AL10, not L10. And its Dual sim stand by.
Like i Said, if i put just one sim card, only data will work.
Still not working. Maybe a hardware problem? I what to debrand to L04 or L14 but need oeminfo. If somebody could just send me the backup from srk tool i appreciate it
Hi everyone,
First post so be gentle
I got my dual sim honor 8 some months ago as I dont want to carry 2 phones around with me.
My personal sim and the phone are with Three UK and my work sim is with EE.
The three sim is in slot 1 and the EE simin slot 2 and I am finding the calls keep dropping for no reason on the EE sim. I can be in an area with full signal but when the call drops I cant dial out or receive calls. The phone goes to dial but just sits with the calling screen and then fails to connect.
After I have moved it works again, its generally happening in the same places too but places that shouldnt be an issue.
Whilst the sim 2 is in this condition I can still call out from sim 1 (Three) and this problem never occurs on sim 1 (Three).
I have tried swapping the sims over but the problem remains with the EE sim. I have tried to swap the 4g priority over but the Three sim is 3g only so wont work as the secondary sim.
I have spoken with my work IT and they have replaced the EE sim but this hasnt fixed it, I have called Three tech support who have reset this and reset that and run diagnostics and say nothing wrong with the handset.
Any ideas or any one else experienced this?
Many thanks
If it's from the EE sim card, then it's from them I believe

Hi,
I have and they advise no fault, they have even replaced the sim card to rule this out.
Just try with a 3rd operator on both SIM slots: that will rule out hardware problems.
As for 3G/4G, operators use different bands, but you shouldn't have any problem.
