Hello, im new in the world of Samsung, as im comming from the Sony family, and id like to ask something. As older users of double sim mobiles of Samsung, do you recomend the double sim or the single sim edition? Did they have any probleam in the sims and how did they work? In the same time or switch via options? As also the Internet via data how it work? Switch via menu? Thx for your time, and sorry for my questions and my bad english
None? :-/
lets c dual sim or single
I would rather a double sim or a sim with a sd card like the One Plus X. Win-win!
Dual sim phones are very popular in China. Here in USA there is not much need for that. If you plan to cheat on your girlfriend better get second phone so she won't question why you need dual Sim phone; )

I have got my brand new P20 Pro Today with Orange Spain. I have get a Free 360º Camera with the smartphone. My surprise: The phone is only 1 SIM!!!
That is normal? All the ads and whitepapers told that is Double Sim and I want double SIM...
¿This is normal? ¿Is there any way to put another SIM?
Best regards,

You can use FunkyHuawei and flash duo SIM firmware but you'd also need the SIM tray too.
Oh, thanks for the information. Is there any way to get or buy the SIM Tray? Anyone has tested one?
Its possible to flash duo SIM firmware without unlocking bootloader?
Thanks

Only rebranding with UNLOCKED bootloader is currently supported
Don't know where to get the dual SIM tray, sorry
Sorry but I don't understand correctly. I have a Sim only P20 Pro (CLT-L09). I need to install CLT-L29 to have the dual Sim functionality? With Funky Huawei if I do it, eRecovery will allow that installation?
Thanks again.

On funkyhuawei there is a different 2 different tools. 1 for converting single SIM to dual sim and 1 for just rebranding. I have not converted to dual SIM myself but I would guess you need to convert to CLT-L29 C432 (European version) dual SIM. @duraaraa might be able to help you more

Yes. You need to use the tool for it too. As the other user said, there are two different tools so use the right one. When you've finished bootloader will be locked again. eRecovery will allow the installation, as it goes through FunkyHuawei's infrastructure instead of Huawei's.

Hi, I have done the transformation from single sim (CLT-L09) to double-sim (CLT-L29) with the FunkyHuawei tools and help.
I came from your same situation. I buyed a P20 Pro from Italian operator and when I arrived at home I discovered that the phone was single-sim !!
Now my phone is double-sim CLT-L29.
But there are 2 problems :
1- Sim tray with dual-sim support it is untraceable. So the only solution it was to contact Huawei assistence and order the original part. But in Italy I was the first to ask for that particular part and it is not available immediately. I have to wait 15 days. So I ordered the dual sim tray from Huawei. The cost of the original part that I ordered is about 7 euros (non so much... I thought worse.).
For your information: I tryed with the double sim-tray of Mate 10 PRO, that seemed the same. I ordered it and It arrived me but sadly there is a little difference. If you insert the sim-tray both sim work very well, but the sim tray exceed of about 1.5 millimeter ! So there is no chance to use it !
2- For now with the new FunkyHuawei firmware you can't root the phone. The root come in the future, but I don't know how much time.
I ordered my dual SIM tray for my P20 from AliExpress with 3-4 US Dollars incl. shipping. Now I'm stuck between using Funky expensive method or the free one, from here in the forum.

Hi, i'm wondering if you had any issues after converting to dual sim? Since the single SIM only have 1 IMEI, can it work at the same time with 2 sim cards?
Thank you!

Hi Doromax,
on Funky site they wrote it is not possible to do it with emui 8.01 or above (just wrote them), I have CLT-L09 8.1.0.128 (C432) fw installed - emui 8.1.0 Android 8.1.0. Do you remember if you had below version at the time you did the change ? (I'm not interested in rebranding, just dual sim - it's from TIM)
Dual tray just arrived from ebay (I can't paste the link, just look for "OEM Dual SIM MicroSD Card Tray Slot Repair Part for Huawei P20 - Grey / Gold") and it seems perfect.
Regards,

Hi, now you can find the dual-sim tray holder on several china sites. But I'm not sure that P20 and P20 pro have the same one. IP67 is for P20 pro not for P20 (gasket difference maybe?)
When I rebrand my P20 Pro I was on EMUI 8.0.1 and Android 8.0.1 with firmware 8.1.0.106 (C432) model CLT-L09.
Funky site say that for P20 series the old tools don't run!
They write me that the tool for single to dual was not alredy made for P20 series (was april, 6) but about 2 days after they write me to download the right tool. I used that tool flawlessly.
You find it on funky site.

Yes, sure!
One IMEI can work with 2 sim of 2 different operators. Also both in 4G.
No problem at all for me.
Also I recive the OTA directly from Huawei.
Now I'm on firmware 8.0.1.120 (C432)

I did some steps, thanks to Funky support that helps so much (problem is the time zone +9)
now i'm at the erecovery step, where I must address DNS to Funky ones and my TIM Router do not permit. I'm trying to use dhcp server for windows using another wifi connection. At the same time, and I don't know if it is important right now, the phone is not recognized by windows as USB composite device, but I can' find any compatible driver. I'm here with three pc's....from 12 hours

Try to install HiSuite by Huawei and updaye it to last version. In developer option tap on operator unlock and debug usb and than Windows ask you to confirm an esadecimal code! You must have your phone see by windows.

Thanks Doromax, magically the network starts and the installation proceed (now complete, with dual sim?)
Funky said at that phase you need only to be under charge, USB is not relevant.
Thanks to all for help
Hy there, how much cost you to activate dulal sim?
Tested tray from l29 to l09 its not working. Dual sim settings wil not appear.
What is strange is that Vodafone Romania says that huawei stopped producing dual sim p20 pro.
Or maybe an operator lie....

They are wrong - ALL Huawei phones as far as I am aware are now in fact built with hardware for Dual SIM - they just disable it with the software for certain markets and give a single SIM tray. I did the same on my P10 Plus and it worked perfectly as well with Dual SIM.
The only official Dual SIM Huawei supplier in the UK is Three UK at present. I am not sure about the rest of Europe.
Hi, I've just received my P30 from Amazon and it's the Single SIM (ELE-L09)version and not the Dual Sim version. Rather than send it back and not get my free Sonos is there any way of converting it to Dual Sim? I'm not sure if the hardware is the same but sometime it's possible to convert. Many thanks, Callan

Same question this site, does anyone know if its possible with an software change or is it the hardware
dual sim is more expensive, i doubt you can make the change via software. i had a dual sim p30, broke it replaced it with single sim because i use a nano card and saved $100.
I wonder if T-Mobile will finally just let the dual SIM just happen. I mean... they sell iPhones that support dual SIM (one eSIM).

I am just curious if dual sim could be used if the single sim tray would be replaced with a dual sim one. Any idea?

it does work.
unless T-Mobile have their own firmware youd only need to flash the stock ROM
Anyone know about whether the T-Mobile version has a way to unlock the bootloader like we do on the 6t? I want to be able to root asap if I do get it!

I bought "Realme X50 Pro, 12 + 256GB, Dual SIM, Rust Red (RMX2075-red-12-256)" on Amazon.es.
However, it arrived with a single SIM specification:crying:
The physical SIM slot looks like a Dual SIM slot, is there a way to make it available?
Will it work if I burn another ROM?
Is this phone Single Sim in Europe? Why?
Is it intentionally locked like on xiaomi mi10 who knows why?
I can't find a word about it anywhere, is there esim?

在中国，这款手机是双卡双待的 没问题，但是听说欧洲版本和中国版本系统不能互刷？或者你可以试试使用twrp刷入中国大陆的版本试试
Hello,
I asked Realme support several questions. The Chinese versions are indeed dual SIM. The Europe version is simple SIM. The Chinese version is materially incompatible for operation in Europe. Flashing Europe Rom on a phone made for China will not work.

Remove the SD slot to see if it has two bays, one covered and the other not, this is because the operators do not want competition, but if you release the bootloader and install the global ROM that bay will be active and the only thing to do is remove carefully the plastic so that it can accept another sim.
