Morpheus thank you for fast reply, can you verify, there is also written 2 IMEI numbers on your box label?
Edit:
As i suspect, the U.S. variant of Honor 8 does not support 2 Sim Card, and it dont have 2 IMEI.
Crossflash(flashing EU ROM) will not make any difference about 2 Sim Cards because there is a hardware differencies on U.S. variant.
Anyone who depend a more information will take a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/dual-sim-manager-model-frd-l04-t3461671
I have one.
BTW it's one for single Sim variants and two for dual Sim variants.
You should have 2 IMEI numbers on the Honor 8 as it is a dual SIM device, but you can use one of the SIM slots for use with a microSDCard.

...and all the mess has done by... Motorola!
Let's try to make some order, since this is a very important feature of every smartphone and even a LOT of sellers report wrong data too on Moto Z...
Let's start with...
Official data by Motorola
Motorola official position is:
- XT1650-01 (Verizon's Droid edition): single SIM only
- XT1650-05 (mainly Chinese version): double SIM
- XT1650-03 (International version): all single SIM but China (that are -05...), India and Brazil markets where they are officially double SIM.
It seems to be simple.... BUT it is all wrong!!!
Let alone -01 and -05 versions that could be right and concentrate on International XT1650-03... as soon as we go to see some national Motorola.xx web sites things begin to be confused, with some of them (different from China, India and Brazil...) reporting double SIM support or double SIM versions... but this only the beginning.
Real situation
Let's start clarifying a thing: at hardware level all the International XT1650-03 Moto Z provide an "hybrid" double SIM support - where for "hybrid" it's intended that second slot can accomodate a nano SIM *OR* a microSD expansion, a deprecable choice recently done by a lot of manufacturer... - and even a good one, since both SIM can support 4G!
It's only at software level that some of them (a LOT less than what Motorola officially declare...) are "locked" to single SIM support with some different settings and, mainly, providing a single IMEI.
BUT even these have the hybrid SIM tray capable to accomodate two nano SIMs and... yes, they probably could be unlocked to double SIM support too!
There is a thread on Moto X section which explain how to partially unlock double SIM support on that model and which could be applicable here with good chances of success with the only downside of having an IMEI set to 0 for second SIM (preventing some carrier access...), but even for that issue there could be some Xposed modules able to fix that...
BUT the main interest of this thread is to make some order, with a LOT of Moto Z sold for single SIM when in reality they have a complete out-the-box double SIM support (like, but these have to be confirmed, all Italian and Spanish models or the already confirmed Mexican or Nordic EU...) with a double IMEI provided!
What I ask to you here is to post your exact model here (something like SM4xxxAE7xx or SM4xxxAD1xx for EU versions...) and indicate if on the box are reported one or two IMEI numbers (indicating an out-the-box single or double SIM support). :fingers-crossed:
Please post an Answer *AND* partecipate the Poll....
Let's start...!
SM4385AE7B1 UK version: single IMEI
To voters... please post your model and country too...
Model : AP3783AE7K8
Country : India
Dual SIM ; Dual IMEI
GERMANY
XT1650-03
singel IMEI/SIM
Model: SM4430AE7R8
and I would be very glad if it would be possible to use a second sim slot.
I can imagine... take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/how-to/dual-sim-support-single-sim-versions-t3482243
Another solution could be change your phone with a French, Spanish and (probably... ) Italian version which are dual sim... they are available on Amazon.fr, .es or .it if not on .de... And mostly ship to Germany.
I (in Italy...) own an LG G2 German version for years without a single issue!
1650-03, with 2 IMEI. Using sd-card at second slot. Sold in Sweden. Nothing mentions dual sim support at the store I bought it though
XT 1650-03 Malaysia version sell official by lenovo in Malaysia.
Dual IMEI number, dual sim 4G LTE
plus SD card.
Where do you got one? In Kuala Lumpur?
Do you have the exact code of model?
Mexico, double SIM ready. I read on this topic than someone said "two SIM plus SD card", is wrong! As far I know is either two SIM or single SIM plus SD card; not one model has two SIM plus SD card
I've same info.
I'm quite sure official Italian models SM4421xxxH1 are dual SIM/dual IMEI too... even if Motorola Italia sells them for single SIM (and a lot of resellers too).
Nobody can confirm this?
all moto z seen in italy have dual imei.
XT 1650-03
Italian sm4421ae7h1
Double imei
XT 1650-03
UK SM4385AE7B1
Single Imei
I checked, but the SD card slot in the tray does not seem to fit a second SIM card
Thank you very much! You are the first to confirm officially that Italian versions are dual sim as I supposed.
Yes, I already knew that UK version are single SIM. The sim tray could be changed I think... (I'm not sure single SIM phones internally are different...) but the lack of second IMEI could be an issue anyway...)
Malaysia version model :AP3775AE7X3
Thank a LOT!
XT 1650-03
Model: SM4430AE7R8
Single IMEI
just did the Dual SIM mod and it works, I assume all Moto Z are dual sim as all have 2x 6 pin SIM contacts.
2nd SIM with IMEI 0 which may not work in all countries, in germany works.
I have a unlocked T-Mobile OnePlus 7 pro which comes with a single SIM card tray. Where can I buy a dual SIM tray foe the phone?
I cannot confirm this… But I believe T-Mobile has a special build for the One +7 pro. I don’t believe it can manage 2 SIMs.
I'm on international Oxygen OS 9.5.6
It's dual sim. Flip it over. The two cards are stacked back to back

No. It's not like that. The other side does not hold a SIM card.

You could buy one from Amazon just search "OnePlus 7 pro sim tray" it's the second one that I order that gets here on the 7th. I'll let you know if it works or not.

I have two 7 pros one from OP and one from TMO, I've swapped sim trays and it does work, but the TMO Variant only has one imei, so if you use them both at the same time just be sure they are on different carriers (most people would be on different carriers anyways) but still be careful because if you were to roam on the other carrier it could have some repercussions.

The sim tray came in today, and I can confirm it does work :good:
How does it work? Two sims working the range time? Do you get 5g for the first SIM?
I bought a oneplus 7 pro from someone through offerup
i had an old samsung j7 that had dual sim functionality that i need for work and productivity so when it came time for an upgrade i bought the oneplus as it was advertised as a dual sim phone by the guy who sold it to me.
at the time of purchase, i just opened the settings and saw that it had two sim settings (sim 1 and sim2) and i naturally assumed that it was a dual sim phone.
i also plugged my att sim and figured that it is unlocked. i also did a factory reset and there was no branding for any carrier when i started the device.
therefore i just assumed that this is the unlocked dual sim version.
however, once i got home and tried to put the two sim cards in it and i quickly realized that the sim tray can only fit one sim.
when i called oneplus support about this, they said the phone is designed as single sim and that it was a tmobile phone and thats about all the info they gave me.
i went to tmobile store and they confirmed the phone is unlocked and paid off but they wouldnt help
me any further with the dual sim functionality.
upon quick google search i found a dual sim tray for the phone and ordered it. it is arriving today. I am thinking that all i have to do is just install the new dual sim tray and have dual sims working.
however now that I am looking at the settings more clearly i see that the imei for both sim slot settings are the same.
i checked the firmware on the phone and it seems that guy who sold it to me installed the nonbranded firmware but i am not sure if it is still the tmobile branded firmware. Does the Tmobile firmware startup with the Tmobile logo? how can i know i am running the latest international firmware ?
are the imei numbers the same because it is still on the tmobile firmware?
the build number it reads is 9.5.11.GM21AA
Also, if i pop the two tmobile sims in it, will the device be blacklisted simce they both will have the same imei?

You are running international firmware.
The software is strange and just like the 6T it reports only one IMEID.
If you put in two SIMS they will have different IMEID.
Look in the forums for threads on T-Mobile converted to dual sim.
Thank you for the quick reply. The dual sim trey will arrive today so I will try it and report back.
Thank you.

If he is running a T-Mobile op7 that has been converted to International then he only has one IMEI. That same IMEI can be used in both Sim slots but you were wanting to be careful if you're using the same provider for example and an mvno that is on T-Mobile and then a second Sim that is also on T-Mobile although T-Mobile is one of the few that is pretty relaxed about duplicates. If you're on something like AT&T you'll want to pay a lot more attention.
If you are using two completely different Networks then you should not have an issue.
I know this works because I am using a T-Mobile version that was converted to International myself with a dual SIM tray.
If when the phone boots up you see that T-Mobile logo then you were still on the T-Mobile software. On the international version you'll see a little Android droid logo at the bottom and a OnePlus logo.

Hi,
New around here...
Any idea on how to unlock a T-mobile locked One Plus 7 Pro?
T-Mobile says I don't qualify for unlocking as I'm the 3rd owner and not having a T-Mobile account and SIM.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated as I'm going to inEurope for a while and need to insert local SIM cards for better rates.
Many thanks
Cris
Does the oneplus 7 pro have the same imei for both sim slots or does it have two different ones? I ask because I had a t-mobile model converted to internations and under settings, phone status I see the same imei for both slots. This is also what I get when I dial *#06# on the phone dialer.

All dual sim smartphone have 2 different IMEI, use the imei write tutorial to write the imei which comes in the phone box.

I purchased the phone used hence no box. Is it possible it's showing the same imei because the 2nd slot is empty? Is the 2nd imei a digit off or totally different?
Thanks for the replies!
Looks like mine are different by 8 numbers. Sim slot 1 is the higher of the two. Mine is an unlocked version direct from Oneplus.

No, each IMEI need to be separate because having 2 phones with same IMEI will blacklist both phones. In your case its dual SIM. Try reset the firmware or flash using the EDL mode and see if anything change. Maybe there is some carrier lock (probably not) just wanna make sure ??

Someone sold you T-Mobile version flashed to international. Those models show a single IMEID.

No one "sold me" anything unexpected. I purchased the T-mobile edition as there is $100 price difference between it and the international even if both are unlocked and converted it to international myself. It works fine and currently has two sims in it that are both working just fine with the same imei. Many other dual sim phones only use one imei. Obviously I would prefer two but the only time there might be an issue is if you try to run 2 sims from the same provider or an mvno of that provider where they might notice the same imei is in use twice. Rare exception. In any case I'm only using dual sim till my current sim expires.
I bought a LG V50, korean version: LM-V500N. The sim tray says nano-sim+microsd but the a 2nd sim can be perfectly fitted on the microsd slot. Unfortunately it does not recognize the 2nd sim. I am not sure if this model does not support the 2nd sim or I got a faulty product. On the internet I am getting confusing results. Can anyone please confirm if the Korean LGV50 actually has dual sim support or not?
If not, is there a way/chance to make it sense 2 sims? The product shows just one IMEI no though.
Thank you.
P.S. Mine is an unlocked version (works perfectly fine with any primary sim)
Hey,
Even though your OP was written 4 months ago, I wanted to add some knowledge to it because I was looking for the same information as of today.
Unfortunately, it seems there is no V50 which is Dual SIM.
I checked on LG V50 official page directly, and no mention of dual SIM.
Moreover, on this page, I checked for all of the four models listed and none appears to be Dual SIM.
According to me, it is a dead end.
I will skip V50 as Dual SIM is a must for me.
Good luck.
it is brand only single sim

Hi, does your V50 has hand ID/Air motion?

Both hand ID and air motion need the special camera /sensor on the G8 ThinQ.
It's the only phone in existence that has those features and neither one of them works very well.
The facial recognition feature works very well.
That is what all the reviews say and since I had a G8 I will back that up.
The V50 has more of a premium feel and it's got better cameras and a bigger battery.
I remember being in a used phone shop a few months back in Seoul, and the owner said that every Korean variant of cell phones are single sim.
