I am looking at maybe getting a dual sim phone and I was thinking of use the second sim slot to get a prepaid card for data only for better coverage. Does anyone use their dual sim feature? Do you use it how I want to use mine? What is your backup data sim (there doesn't seem to be any that you can buy data for a sim and not have it expire.)

how about this thread? i've done that but dont work for me. there is no signal, i think it didnt recognized my sim card.
if i install the mini-pci-e card that motorola installs on xoom during upgrade, can i use sim card for 2g/3g ? (sms or internet)
i have found this : "If you bought your Xoom from Verizon, it will have no SIM card slot. Verizon's CDMA network doesn't use SIM cards. Also, if you bought the Verizom model, it will only work on Verizon, and not another carrier. There is also a WiFi-Only Xoom, and it does not have a SIM slot."
here : "http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/53440/Why+I+can%27t+find+3G+SIM+Slot+in+my+Motorola+Xoom"
but mine have sim slot with a plastic sim on it.
The Verizon 3G Xoom does have a sim card slot but no hardware inside to read the sim card. That is what the 4G upgrade was for, to install the hardware necessary to utilize the sim card for the Verizon 4G LTE network.
I don't know if anyone has gotten a Verizon Xoom working on any other carriers network.
Theres pix of the inside of my Uk3g Zoom somewhere...
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!!
Hello fellow members, I have a bit of a more complicated problem.
I have a dual sim Moto G2 capable of handling one sim in 3g network and the other in 2g network. In SIM slot 1 I have a Digi.Mobil sim card with unlimited data. In SIM slot 2 I have an Orange sim card with few GB of data.
The Digi.Mobil sim card gives me no signal when I am at my office so I need to use the Orange sim card to be reachable. To use the Orange sim card I have to go to settings and manually select it as the data sim. This makes the Orange sim as the 3g sim and the Digi sim as 2g sim.
When I leave work I could leave the Orange sim as the data sim with 3g and Digi sim as 2g. The problem is that the Digi network does not accept 2g. Only 3g or 4g. This means that for the Digi sim to work I have to switch it back as 3g and use the Orange as 2g and use data from the Digi sim.
Is there like a super simple widget or way to just say: OK now i want to have net from Digi and automatically set it as 3g, and now I want to have net from Orange and set that one as 3g? Or is there a way to have 3g as preffered network for Digi while using data from Orange as 2g?
I know the problem is a bit complicated but I really appreciate any help on this.
Hi there,
I have an Oppo Find X5 Lite which is dual sim. I have two sim cards.
Sim card 1: New Zealand on 2degrees
Sim card 2: Australia on Telstra
I travel regularly between both countries. When I'm on WiFi, both sim cards register as WiFi calling which is great, however when I'm out and about in either country, one of the sim cards is always in roaming.
I'm wondering if it's ever been possible for VoLTE of the overseas SIM card to work over the data of the local SIM card.
It's a feature that Apple has on their iPhones but I can't seem to find much about it for Android.
Hopefully someone has a hack I can use to get this to work.
Thanks all!
I have a T-Mobile Oneplus 8 that I have converted to global rom. I can see dual sim in software, with both SIM slots having the same IMEI. From what I've read, It seems like for those that have tried to use 2 SIM cards, nobody has been able to get the 2nd SIM to connect after being recognized by the phone.
So, has anybody been able to get a 2nd SIM card connected on a global-converted T-Mobile OP8?
