Hi, I recently bought S8+ in Scandinavia/EU and looking at the sim tray, there is a spot for 1 sim and 1 SD card. Is there any way to get 2 sim cards working instead of 1 sim 1 SD?
Thank you in advance

You mean that you don't know if you have a dual sim s8+ or a single sim? It must be written in the back as "Duos"...
I know that this (2 sim & micro SD card) happens in all Duos (Dual sim device)
But I don't think that you can do a single sim version to dual sim
To clarify, the question popped up as I saw some people on YouTube surgically detaching the sim and glueing it to their sd cards in order to get the 2nd sim working. But I assume if there is no actual reader to read the 2nd sim, that operation won't be successful. Thing is, I do not know if there is a reader or not on an European version of s8+?
It's quite impossible since the device must have two imei numbers.

Remove the sim chip from the telecommunications company and stick it behind the SD Card. Look at my photo. Then sim + SD card into the sim2 card slot. This sim2 card slot there sim with sd.
Dual sim on G955F?
Even though not marked on box, is it possible?

The answer is a simple no. Those videos show a dual sim s8 being modded so they can use the dual sim AND an sd card instead of OR.

No. Must have 2 IMEI's for that to work. There is no way to make a single sim phone a dual sim one.

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,
How many of you have dual sim e8, especially m8sd ( CDMA+GSM). Have you tried putting 2 Nano sim cards in your phone?? Does your SIM tray ejects after that? Eject Easily? Mine doesn't open only!

Yup, I tried it only once, and it opens just like it should, easily. I generally use only one sim.

You know why it isn't opening comfortably? Because you cut your SIM instead of using a Nano SIM.
When you cut your SIM, you must file it slightly to make it thinner.
How do I know? I did the same bloody thing..

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
Does the dual sim slot also work as a micro sd card slot? I know some dual sim phones have added this support to the second sim slot where the phone itself didn't have a dedicated micro sd slot.

No, it doesn't. And the tmo variant is the same after converting to EU firmware. Second sim slot included.

I know, but the sim card trey doesn't look like it holds 2 sims. That's why I was asking. I'm going to convert but was hoping I could use a sim card if I were to get a replacement tray.

Yes, the 7t pro sim tray works but isnt flush. You could also try the 8 sim tray. The second slot will work but the device is dual standby so if your making a call from one you cant use data or anything with the other at the same time. You also only have one imei which is assigned to both slots.

No. Its dual sim capable once converted to EU/IN firmware and later Global firmware when we can get a full ota file.

just came across your post looking for something else. i have the KB2005 and the sim tray is dual but it looks like a single one, when i looked closer one sim goes on top, one sim goes on bottom.
Hi,
is it possible to operate 3 SIM cards and a microSD card with the Note Ultra 5G?
With the S7 Edge it was possible to operate 2 SIM cards and a microSD card by sticking the SIM board on the memory card. Has anyone tested this before? Or does Android automatically lock the memory card and the SIM card that has been stuck on?
I mean 2 physical SIM cards and one esim and a microSD-card.
Similar to the Galaxy S7 back then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_lQdg8yAwM
Or does android have programming that excludes the simultaneous use of three SIM cards and a microSD card?
Nobody?
Does it work?
really none?
I believe Samsung has blocked this from working on all their devices.
thanks for answering. I can´t find any infos about it. Is there a tread about it?

No. But I do know that with recent firmware update releases, Samsung has blocked those microSD card with a SIM adapter from working on their devices.
Merci!
