MIne P7P only has a tray for one SIM and therefore ESIM making the claim this is a dual SIM phone. Are there any variants that will accept two physical SIM cards?

I am able to use dual via 1x esim and 1x physical. You can also use multiple esims but thats a no on 2x physical.
On the P6 Pro, I had used an ESim and physical sim. I even used 2 whatsapp using Shelter app. Alas, the app isn't working yet on the 7 Pro

You could use Island (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.island) instead of Shelter.

You have to use Shelter from F-Droid or Source direct, there is a newer version 1.8! This one is working on our P7P as i'm using it!

Can I change one of my physical sims into an Esim? I do not even know what that is.... I have 5 lines and only use 4 but I use the 5th for emergencies.

I just bought another HTC Touch Pro 2 (HTC RhodiumW CDMA + GSM) for Sprint (CDMA + EVDO) in the US on eBay and this phone once again came with an obviously missing Sprint Worldwide SIM Card (for GSM networks) (PDF Instructions) because the plastic credit card holder had the SIM card removed.
I got the first seller to send me the missing card and now I am having the second seller send me the SIM card also, only after complaining that they promised the card in their auction lists but failed to ship them.
I am concerned now that this happened twice, exactly the same way, so I'm wondering if there is some kind of a SIM Card scam or security issue going around that I should worry about? SIM card cloning maybe? Or SIM card being linked to phone and cloned to charge me for phone calls?
(Excuse my ignorance, but I've been a happy CDMA + EVDO network user for 10-years+ so I'm not familiar with SIM card security that's why I'm reaching out to more knowledgeable people like yourselves.)
I am aware of the fact that Sprint overcharges on their Worldwide International Rates so I won't be using their service overseas since I can just buy a pre-paid SIM card on a local network there for pennies on the dollar. I am also aware of the fact that this phone cannot use SIM Cards here in the US because it is SIM locked, and I know about Olipro's SIM unlocking web site that I plan to use on one phone but the other phone is already SIM unlocked according to the owner.)

I don't see your problem way do you want that sim card and not your own simcard (I know you normally don't use a simcard).
only pre-paid phones are sold with a card (In a shop) .
In settings - about phone - status - my phone number it says unknown. On my old Xperia Z my phone number was listed there. Z3 works completely normal. Phone calls, SMS, data... No problem. Do you have your phone number listed in status or have some of you also encountered the same issue? I don't know if it is a problem or not. One guy who has the same problem and is on the same carrier got new nano sim card but problem was not solved. Then carrier reset his card without success, phone number is still not listed. Is that a real problem or should I just ignore it?

My number is listed there, and I'm guessing it's no big deal if it isn't. But I might be wrong though, never thought much about it. Please correct me if I am ?
I dont see it as being an issue what so ever but as for why it is not showing there. . . . . . . . . .I have no idea! Mine says unknown too
I think it's the new TMobile SIMs. No big issue, newer SIMs just aren't storing the phone number on them.
No number shown on o2 in the UK, maybe a broader issue.

Using a newer SIM Card? I can check my wife's when she gets home (she's still using her BB Curve 8330 Sim Card) but I switched to a new SIM card.
My T-Mobile number shows, however its not an issue if it doesn't, your phone will work fine on your network.
It is only reading a field called the MSISDN on the SIM which is not really used for anything useful. It varies from carrier to carrier as to whether they populate this field.

Mine is being shown; EE in the UK.
works for me too! I'm on 3 UK
Dom, can you open contacts app and look for a contact called 'Myself'? Its automatically generated by the phone.
It also should have your mobile number in it.
If it doesn't then its either SIM/Provider issue. Try replacing the SIM with a new one.
Anyone can tell me how can I unlock all 5G network bands on oneplus nord now I am using Saudi Arabia

These are the bands supported by the oneplus nord according to gsmarena.com
5G bands 1, 3, 7, 28, 78 - Europe
78 - India
Make sure your carrier is using one of these bands. Some regions use different bands, and a phone made for a region might not work well in another.
Also, are you using dual sim? Because if you are, for Europe atleast when in dual sim mode 5G is disabled until a future firmware update patches things up.
Yes I don't see 5g. I have mobile plan with 5g but I don't we 5g. My provider eses N1 network at the moment. I don't understand why.
OnePlus 8t has the same problem.

OnePlus like other phones have enabled 5G only certain networks. I have list in my blog and also instruction how you can modify your phone modem and enable 5G-support: https://mt-tech.fi/en/modify-oneplus-7-pro-5g-8-and-8-pro-nr-lte-a-band-combos/
As per the excellent guide from @olkitu above, I managed to get my OnePlus Nord to connect to 5G on Telstra (Australia) with pre-paid plan.
Additionally, I was able to get VoLTE and VoWiFi working reliably using this YT guide:
Edit: I'm on OxygenOS 10.5.9 (Android 10)
One question. Do I have to do it each and every time after every Software Update or it is permanent?

Hello, I'm trying to clear something up once and for all, I bought a dual sim tray off amazon for my US Unlocked Note 20 Ultra, put two sims in it and inserted it in the phone. However absolutely nothing different happened, only the bottom sim (1) was recognized. I am wondering if the US Note 20 does not physically support two sims (or is these some trick to enable it in software, rooted or not)? If anyone knows for sure, please let me know!
Also on eSim functionality, I am able to get into the CSC menu but it only shows US codes, currently it looks like mine is set to TMB (despite it being unlocked straight from samsung), why do I not have any options for eSim (TMB is supposed to I think)?
Nope, only 1 Sim supported, pretty sure it doesn't have the hardware for two physical sims. Also even though you have T-Mobile csc on your unlocked, you need to flash T-Mobile firmware to use esim. (Essentially turning your U1 into a U. esim won't work on unlocked firmware.

Alright, thanks for the info on this!
This is hilarious.
I bought the 20 because it was widely advertised to have dual sim card support, which I want/need as E-sim is .. well, not really available yet.
So, all the advertisements for the phone everywhere list it as a dual sim card phone, but its not.
GG samsung. ffs. I'd have bought the standard note 20.
Only reason to keep the 20 ultra is the sim card support.
Which even then, the phone handles like crap.
The eSIM has finally been turned on for the unlocked Note 20 Ultra on UI 4.0 beta.

I'm trying to set up number sharing on my Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Galaxy Watch4 LTE but keep getting the following error. Some online searching suggests that it isn't support for this type of phone. Doesn't anyone know any workarounds?

If your mobile service provider supports esim it should work. BUT
I personally failed to activate the esim on my watch using my pixel device.
Then, i synced the watch to my old galaxy s8 and successfully activated the esim on the watch.
I reset the watch and synced back to the pixel. The esim remains activated.
The reset does not erase the esim data.

Has it worked fine since then? I just need to get my hands on a Samsung phone now!
Yes.

I was in the exact situation you described (Pixel/Watch4, used an old Galaxy S7). Your solution came through for me where Samsung and my service provider's customer support couldn't! Thanks a lot, I was about to return the Watch4.
