I wonder anybody could help with this query/issue I am have?
I recently purchased a MT7-TL10 from the United Arab Emirates whilst on holiday and the phone came preloaded with the latest international ROM (V100R001C00B119SP03). As a result I thought I had an international version of the phone.
When I got back to the UK however I have noticed that a network scan revels that the phone can see both 3 and EE LTE networks (which run over bands 3 & 7) but not O2 and Vodafone (which runs over band 20). Which initially suggests the phone is band locked as UAE only runs bands 3 & 7, though their phones are usually fully compatible with European networks (such as the Samsung S5 my wife purchased).
I don't suppose anybody has had any luck unlocking the bands on this phone or the TL09? Also, there don't seem much logic to the flash the ROM with international version in my instance (which is suggested for the Chinese model) as I am already running it.
I have similar problem in Nigeria. My TL10 could not see band 20.

Don't wait for luck. MT7-TL10 does not support band 20. Check specs.
I bought the gold Mate 7 32gb from Huawei in Saudi Arabia.. and I confirm I don't get 4G on O2. I guess I'll have to change my carrier to either EE or Three. Any recommendation, which carrier would you recommend ? I live in London

I switched to Three as they where offering the best deal plus I had a mobile dongle with them and I knew the reception was always better than O2. The phone now picks up 4G just about everywhere I go.
nice!
there got to be a way to unlock all radio bands.. right? has anyone seen it done ?
I have the same problem with my Mate 7, I've emailed Huawei but they don't want to acknowledge that there is a fault. I suggest you guys also email Huawei!
Huawei Mate 7 TL10 does not support band 20 (800 mHz frequency) that O2 uses. it is not the matter of locking and unlocking, it is that the phone lacks the capability. Sadly enough, I own mate 7 TL10 and am using giffgaff that runs on O2 network.
Edit: This lack of capability is by design. You should check the specs before buying.
I have the Mate 7 TL10 and use in Austria on Three.Three use not the Band 20 at least not in Austria.
My Prepaid Card from Telekom Austria would need band 20,but in larger cities, it also works without
Dear community,
I've got a question related to the Sony Xperia XA which is sold in germany.
The version has a single SIM Tray. Looking at the tecspecs, i can see, there also is a dual SIM version.
So my question ist: Does anyone knows, if this is a different smartphone, so that the hardware of the single SIM version is not able to handle double sim?
Or is it just the sim tray, which is single SIM in germany?
It's the model no F311, if it helps.
I'm asking this, because i can buy a dual SIM tray for less money. I'm not allowed to post the link, but you can find it on parts4repair dot com.
If it's also just a software thing, i can use another rom which can handle dual sim.
Would be happy to hear about your experience so far.
Greetings,
Cyberrob
You can find 5 models of the XA: F3111, F3113 and F3115 with single sim, F3112 and F3116 with dual sim. Others hardware specs are same for all, only radio bands are differents. If you want dual sim XA for Germany you have to buy the F3112, I'm from France and have it (from the Sony Store). To be sure verify the network bands used by your provider.
That's a really good answer, tank you so much.
So i do know now, it's impossible with my F3111.
Had no other option, because it's from a contract extension, or how it is called in english.
Hey all,
I received this beautiful samsung flip phone designed inspired from yesteryear as a gift from a good mate in China:
http://www.samsung.com/cn/smartphones/samsung-w2017/SM-W2017ZKYCTC/ [use Google Translate - see specifications more for supported GSM bands (a lot of them are AU compatible) but then goes to say phone only works in China, Macao, HK and Taiwan!]
I'm in Australia but I'm finding that out of the two SIM CARD slots. Slot 1 (4G LTE) does not work and a message pops up saying 'It's detected that your inserted card doesn't match the terminal. Please replace it with a China Telecom 4G user card in time'. Slot 2 works fine (but only 2G service!!) which is pretty useless.
Any chance any of you can point me to a solution? My friend tells me the store never provided any prior notice that the phone was locked to the China Telecom telco, simple the GSM frequency bands. Are there any XDA guru's who can cook an unlocked ROM for this phone as it's only released/sold out of China...
Any help, greatly appreciated - would hate to send this back!!!!
Anybody....? Really lovin' this phone, but would be AWESOME if anyone can help me unlock it's 3G/4G SIM Slot 1! I've been liaising with this sim-unlock.net site, are they trustworthy and can do the job? Clearly told them phone is not asking for any unlock code, just doesn't accept non-China Telecom SIM cards for sim slot 1.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Unfortunately I don't know of anyway to carrier unlock samsung phones without either going to the original carrier or a third party unlocking service. The second sim for 2g is normal in china, they have one sim for calls (2g) and one for data (4g)
Regards
Sawdoctor
Any third party unlocking service that you know will do the job? I really need to get the 4g slot working to make the phone worhtwhile using!
Hi,
I preordered a sim-only p20 from carphonewarehouse in the UK. Everywhere it says it's a dual sim phone as standard, but have heard contradicting things on posts online.
If you received yours in the UK, is it dualsim or not?
many thanks

Hi,
I pre-order mine in O2 (UK) as they were one of two reselers that supposed to have dual sim version (second was Three), that was at least according to oficial uk huawei site, when you could pick color version: single/dual sim and then list of reselers appeared.
Today I got mine and it is a single sim, even they have ensured my it is dual, I have opened the box at home to see that sim tray has only one slot, second one is kinda blocked.
My model: EML-L09
FCC ID: QISEML-L09
I have checked in the settings if that's only the sim tray that I need to change to dual sim, however there is no option at all regarding dual sim, as I have in my dual sim huawei nova, so software also doesn't support it in this version.
Going to return it tomorrow, or replace with dual sim, if they have it.

It will be surely single SIM from cpw, Voda, EE, 3, O2 etc , dual SIM are only if you buy from Huawei direct and from some other retailer

Received mine yesterday from CPW UK and it is only single SIM card.
Three UK are dual sim models
I'll get mine tomorrow, will return if single sim straight away.
unless there is an adapter one could buy to make it dual SIM
Does anybody know if the model EML-L09 is the single or dual sim model?
I'd rather leave it wrapped unless it was the dual sim model.
Many thanks

As far as I know, only Three in the UK sell the dual SIM version. Their prices are higher than all other providers, but I wanted the dual SIM so went with Three. My model is L29
Singke/dual SIM...

I think only L29 is dual sim. That's mine...
Today after 2 weeks! I have received oficial reply from Huawei, how to distinguish which one is dual sim:
"Regarding you question, please be informed that on the original box of the devices you can found two IMEI numbers (the number has 15 digits and it starts with 86). If they appear on the box means that the device is dual SIM."
Cheers
Can anyone confirm the difference between the l-09 and l-29 in terms of uk useability? Will both work fine on all uk networks or is one a global/non global version etc that will only work in some countries.
Not bothered about single/dual sim atall- is that the only difference?
Thanks
Anyone know if N20 Ultra will have dual SIM in States? I've searched but couldn't find anything solid on it.
ANy update fellas? Are they gonna release OTA to add eSIM functionality? I am regretting buying this 1300 bucks toy now.
I want to know this too, would pull the trigger right now but can't find it. Official site says there are single and dual sim models, but when you go to checkout doesn't say what you're getting!
https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-note20/specs/
Just chatted with support, FWIW, he said only the Global version has dual-sim, not the US version.

Well that's a bummer.. I guess it's going on swappa or offerup, still making money.
So the USA model won’t even be dual sim EG one physical sim and one e-sim? [emoji23]
Nope, yet Apple has had it for two years!
Dual sim= Sim+ eSim
Exynos
just like the s20 ultra it isnt clear at all. there does seem to exist a 'B' model and an 'F' model, some are dual sim, some are LTE only. its hard to find exactly the right one. In the Note 10 the 'F' model didnt have band 30. But on the LTE only s20 (no 5G) there is band 30. But on the 5G model there isnt band 30. Frustrating if you use AT&T
I think the dual sim model of the Note 20 ultra is sm-n986b. its not clear if its dual sim or sim plus e-sim.
The US models are historically NOT dual sim on nOte 10 and s20.
In Europe is dual sim = sim + sim or you can use sim + esim + SD card on ultra
If you look at the USA web site...

Omg, i always have to buy the HK versions of Samsung devices because they Are Snapdragon+Dual Sim, but if (FINALLY) Samsung make USA model version Dual Sim too, that means (at least for me) pay less. Did you have the link? i want to check so i can make the pre-order

That link is for "global" version and it says ESIM support is dependent on country/carrier. Samsung has disabled ESIM specifically for US for some odd reason. They promised S20 will have ESIM with a software update but that did not happen as of yet, we can only hope their $1500 flagship N20 Ultra supports this but as of now there is no mention of it.

Don't hold your breath!
Has anyone used one of the international Dual-SIM unlocked models recently? I'm guessing they still don't have the ability to do VOLTE and Wifi Calling because they don't have the US CSCs available. I have the US unlocked Note 10+ and appreciate how smooth the carrier swap process is, but like everyone else I'd prefer to just leave a couple of SIMs in at the same time.

It depends on the carrier, but you will get WiFi calling and VoLTE on US Tmobile if using Exynos dual sim model. It lacks the important bands though like band 66, band 71 and some 5G bands
From what Ive seen and reading - no Dual Sim in North America ( same like S20 ) -which means Physical + Esim, having just Esim means phone w/o a physical sim and thats it, but not work in conjuction
Users experience for S20

Anyone see this?

It acts like the regular Snapdragon version will support Dual Sim???? I won't be able to test it out until Monday so curious if anyone else has tried.
I have an ATT SD variant that lists 2 IMEIs on the box, however, it appears the eSim functionality has been disabled. there's another thread on the eSim where this is being discussed as well.
