AT&T is shutting down 2G by the end of the year in US.
Is there any dual sim Android phone that have two active 3G. I don't care about data, I just need two 3G voice line.
Thank you for any help.

I can't find any support BOTH active 3G(WCDMA).
Thanks,
I researched it a little bit, there is no DSDA chipset that doesn't drop one sim down to 2g that I could find.
Look at linked threads here: http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/m...3g-dual-card-dual-standby-mobile-5415843.html
*maybe* you'll find a model but its a long shot. Dual Standby is easy to find.

What do you mean by standby? both connect an wait for call? or sleep and disconnect from the tower?

In Australia, the Hutchison 3 Network is a 3G network and as such uses Telstra's 2G to support it when there is no 3G coverage.
That being said, Hutchison 3 use a type of hybrid Sim card that doesnt work with any of these dual sim devices.
Another example of this odd sim card choice is that it renders all Mercedes Benz owners who have Bluetooth Car kits useless. (I spent literally days testing) and this is because even though the Bluetooth will pair up, the MB car kits try to use a 2G antenna connection to get onto the network. Even though it ends up using the phones internal antenna.
Is '3' in Europe strictly a 3G network? Because im at a total loss as to why the MB would do this.
It may seem off topic but its related enough to be shared here. (although it probably could have its own thread)
I can't say anyhing about he hybrid sim you are talking, but simore dual sim works with 3g sim.
3 in Italy is only 3g, I do not know in the rest of europe
It's quite weird your experience with the MB CK, I tryed several time with no issues...

Hi,
Could you try something for me.
Set your handset to 3G only, then see if you can connect to the MB CK.
If you can, then i will have to put it down to the Hybrid SIM.
Thanks

Hello
For me it is working fine, but before I had the problem until I remove the pin code pin on my sim card.
Means install the sim card to a normal phone and remove the pin code for the sim car. Plug it again into simore hardware and try again.
Hope that it well solve your problem
For phone call and sms it wrking fine, I still have issue to switch internet from one sim card to on other one. The last point is that you have to root your phone to use internet (but internet not working well)
No need to root if you want to use only phone call and sms

O2 should send you a 3G SIM with your Orbit.
If you're already with O2 (on a 3G service) then I think your old SIM would be fine (and they might choose not to send you one).
If you're with O2 with a plain GSM only SIM then it will work in your orbit but only in GSM mode.
then connection icon next to the signal strength shows "G", or "3G", or "H" depending on what sort of connectivity you have.
i had to get a new sim card for mine.
the tip i got from o2 was that if you look at your sim card, it has 3g on it.
yep says 3g on it, thanks.
it doesn't matter if you have 3g sim or not, you should be able to connect to 3g anyways, it does not depend on the sim you have. 3g sim just offer more memory
is it possible to use one sim for data and a 2nd sim for calls? or do you need to switch from using sim A 100% to sim B 100%?
if so, what kind of device/adapter would be able to accomplish this
TIA

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.

Interesting, some questions:
1. are the sim, both NanoSIM?
2. both data connection simultaneous, means you can have double speed??? That would be awesome
3. Youyr version is 16GB? Any news if exist 32GB variant?

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?

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?

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

Really? Is that a thing? I have never heard of such a thing as dual SIM causing the phone to lag or anything.
It certainly depends on your preference. As far as I know, Dual SIM phones are great since you don't have to carry multiple devices, which can be a good thing or a terrible thing. Good thing because one device, duh! Bad thing because, two connections, 1 battery. But if you are like me and don't care for carrying too many devices in your pocket, go for the dual SIM. It is great and it certainly doesn't lag.. (where'd you read that it lags?)

I use single sim. and it's fine. I never heard of the phone lagging on dual sim.
What I can say is, it's depends on what you need. If you don't want to carry multiple phones, buy the dual sim.
especially more people (at least here) uses dual sim, and also more custom roms are available for the dual sim.
