So pretty straight forward
I have the s7 singlem sim version
Can i modified the sim so that it can fit and read the sim?
Sorry, you can't. Single SIM variant doesn't have the necessary hardware to operate a second SIM (even though the software side of it supports it). You's have to get a Duos version to use the second SIM, however after reading reports of high battery drain, I'd rather stick with a single SIM.
Single SIM variation doesn't have the essential equipment to work a second SIM You's need to get a Duos variant to utilize the second SIM, however in the wake of perusing reports of high battery channel, I'd rather stay with a solitary SIM.
Okay then, case closed

I have searched the forums and found one thing close but not actually this so I'll ask.
Lets say I have two phones. One uses a micro sim and the other a mini sim. Can I insert both with the same number and use them one by one (use one then turn wireless communications off, and turn the other one on)?
I read that if the network sees two IMEIs on the same number it will disable the actual card.
I also read that if you request a new SIM the old one becomes useless when the new one is actually registered but, there is a way to have "SIM swapping" with two cards. So back to my question with the inserting both, can I request a new card (I have a micro sim now and need a mini sim) and safely use it for "SIM swapping" (having both sims in a phone at the same time.) without disabling the old card.
Sorry if that didn't make sense.
Thanks for any help
I have a doubt, my phone is double Sim Card, but the company delivered it blocked with a sim slot, the sim tray has plugged the slot for the other sim. I got the tray with the two slots open and I do not read the two sim only one, is that if I download the original samsung firmware will enable the other sim?
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime (SM-G570M)
Are you certain you actually have the dual-SIM model of the phone? It seems more likely that they have shipped you the normal one-SIM model by accident, rather than that they have taken a dual SIM phone and stuffed a one SIM tray in it and changed the firmware to disable the second SIM.
If you in fact have a one SIM phone, return it and ask them to send the correct model. The single SIM model of the phone doesn't have the connector or circuitry there to read a second SIM.
Hi everybody.
I hope someone can help me because I've been researching for months and I'm running out of options.
First, I need to have 2 lines active at any moment, one local and another from a foreign country, in roaming. Most of the available phones are dual standby, what means that when you get a call in one SIM the other one is disconnected. That's not good enough, because I need to know if someone calls me to the foreign number while I'm talking in the local number.
When both numbers are from the same country, some people configures call forwarding from one SIM to the other. That way, if one SIM is unavailable, you get the call in the other. But having 2 numbers from 2 different countries that solution causes more expenses, the call forward is an international call...
So I've been working with a dual active smartphone: a Huawei Honor 8, one of the last ones with 2 antennas. It's been working good, but the second antenna is only 2G, and 2G is being disabled in some places as 5G arrives. I totally understand that, it has to die as 1G died before. But it causes me a lot of communication issues.
Some options I've been looking for:
- A dual active smartphone with 3G in the second antenna. But I don't find any new dual active smartphones manufactured in the last 3 years...
- I read a lot about 4G dual VoLTE, but it seems to be dual standby. It seems that, during a call, it uses VoLTE to forward calls to the disconnected SIM over the 4G data connection in the enabled SIM, but I'm not sure if this will work with SIMs from different countries -although both providers support VoLTE.
- An external device that gives my phone a second SIM -like PIECE in Kickstarter, that never delivered-.
- A second dumbphone with the foreign SIM, only for getting calls, very long batter duration. But the options seem to be very few, and less 3G/4G...
So I'm running out of ideas. Do you know any modern dual active smartphone with 3G in the secondary SIM? Do you know if VoLTE works for call forward with SIMs from different countries? Do you have any suggestion of a good reliable dumbphone for the second line? Do you have any other solution I didn't think aboyt? Please please, help. I really appreciate it.

TMobile *T 5G converted to Global and updated to the newest OTA.
I purchased a dual SIM holder on EBAY and while the phone now does detect both SIM cards, it will not allow me to use either of them. Separately they work fine, but once I put both SIM cards in the phone, both mobile data and phone service will cut off and a warning will pop up saying SIM 2 not allowed. The SIM settings screen says both SIM are active bit i no longer have data or phone service.
With both cards inserted and one of them de-activated then the other will work. I am new to dual SIM usage. Is this normal behavior? Maybe since there is only one IMEI for both slots, could this be the reason both cannot work at the same time?
Yup, I believe you are correct. There is only 1 IMEI so effectively DSDS vs DSDA. Standby vs Active.
Question for you actually, I purchased a DS from Amazon and it did not slide in all the way. Both SIMs were recognized, but I didn't want to kill the IP rating. Is your purchase the same, if not, can you send me a link to the version you received. Looking to get a silver version for my Global T-Mobile Conversion.
Thanks
Has anyone tried getting dual SIM on Tracfone's A51 (SM-S515DL)? It's advertised as single SIM but comes with this elongated SIM tray, so the reader is at least long enough for dual SIM.
Wonder if the reader actually supports dual SIM and the phone is only software limited to single SIM, phone only displays 1 IMEI.
This phone has only a SIM slot on one side, and microSD card slot on the other side.
