I am about to get a dual number Sim card for my phone, that is two phone numbers on one sim card simultaneously.
Now I know my really really old Motorola phone from 4 years ago had a simple function that translated the two numbers into "line 1" and "line 2" with ability to set different ringtones, etc for incoming calls and switching easily to make outgoing calls.
Does anyone know how this works on a Windows Mobile device? What kind of functionality does it provide?
I am running a Herald with WM6.
I would be interested too. I have a 8525 Cingy.
Phony-- Where did you get the Dual Line SIM? What carrier are you with? Will they activate more than 1 line on same SIM number?
DaddyGoFast, I am in China with China mobile but most carriers these days will provide you wih two numbers on one sim card if you just ask. Just call your service number.
There are other utilities you can buy that allow you to have multiple carriers or numbers on one sim card but those require that you switch by cycling power or using a piece of software, so in reality you can only use one number at a time.
A phone with 1 gsm module can handle only 1 sim card.

We are only talking about 1 sim card here...
Sorry, misread the thread.
any updates on a two number sim card in a WinMo phone?
So, I have the dual SIM version U11 (6GB/128GB). I mainly use it with a single SIM with no SIM card in SIM 2 slot. It is annoying that it would show all the related icons/details for SIM 1 even though there is no other sim. For example:
The signal icon always has a "1" above it.
SMS messages always have the SIM 1 icon next to them.
In the lock screen, the operator/carrier name has "(SIM card 1)" next to it.
Phone dialer call button has the SIM 1 name next to Call.
Call history enteries all have the SIM 1 icon next to them.
I thaught this was only supposed to happen when I have 2 SIMs, but I have it all the time. This is with the 1.13 & now 1.27.401.5 versions. I know Samsung does it the right way as with the S8+ there will be nothing shown when only 1 SIM is used.
I have Lenovo A Plus rooted by Supersu and plan to upgrade it to the pro version, in order to be able to set the pin-code to root-access. I have a task to make the SIM card binding to smartphones so that employees can not insert their SIM cards into them. Is it possible to do this? I mean, that the smartphone refuses to work with another SIM card.
Okay. I'll ask the question in a different way.
How in sh-script to get the serial number of the SIM card or phone number? If this is done, then I can put the script on the minute-by-minute execution and cyclically shutdown the phone if the SIM card number is not the one. Any ideas?
Hi All
Dont know how many of us use dual sim phones on hear, or how you use it.
I like to give different people different numbers.
I had an app dual sim selector pro working on my s9 but it doesn't work on my S10, I was able to dial a number the app would ask me to select which sim I wanted to use and the next time I dialed the number it would automatically use the same sim.
Dose anyone know of a similar app
Thanks in ad
The built in dialer already does this, it will save the number with the sim icon on the left, if you want to change the default just tap the 3 dots and select call with sim 1|2
I'm also interested since "dual sim selector pro" has been discontinued.
The app provided additional benefits such as assigning a default sim to account. So all numbers in my work account use my work sim, and all numbers in my google account use my own sim.

Hi maddow
I found that by downloading the apk and installing it it still works as before
Why was dual Sim selector pro app discontinued? Why does it consume battery? I can't put it to sleep because it won't work when I needed it to decide for me which Sim to use. I also have a corporate Sim and a personal Sim.
FYI, I found that this app:

Now does about the same as the old "dual sim selector pro"
Hello,
I purchased that phone off eBay since it was listed as Dual sim, the sim tray support Sim+Sim/SD Card, but only has 1 IMEI, so inserting a sim card in the second sim slot, do nothing. I read that dual sim will be enabled with software update, but I updated software to September 1 security patch level, but nothing has changed.
Service provider software version is: SAOMC_SM-A536U1_OYM_XAA_12_0009 XAA/XAA/XAA
Maybe your card faces the wrong direction ? Contacts have to show to the outside.
Check in the settings menu 'connections->sim-card administration' if there is a (greyed out) second sim slot available and look at 'phone info->status information->IMEI-info' if there is a second slot entry with corresponding number just to be sure that there isn't a software issue.

No. There is no sim card manager settings. Sim card is inserted correctly, only one IMEI, so that's why 2nd SIM is not working
Expected that all sm-a536 devices support dual-sim. Maybe it's a restriction from your carrier or firmware since you still got the Sim+SD/Sim2 slot. Seems the us variants are a bit cut short with no unlockable bootloader ec..
Helloo!! Any progress on this? IF I install another version like the EU one, would I see the dual sim options? I can be believe the phone is hardware capable but the firmware blocks it
Hi every one !
Anyone has an idea of how to unlock the dualsim capability ? Maybe by flashing a different region/country firmware ?
Thanks !
I just checked for a software update and I got the Android 13 and UI 5 update (near 2GBs) and the dual sim capability was enabled with this update. A second IMEI appears and the 2 sim cards got both signal.
Before installing the update, I took out the SD card and placed a 2nd SIM. Don't know if that had something to do with the dual sim capability enabling.
The Dual Sim Capability is not the same as with other Samsungs. You have no option to set a SIM card as default for calls and text or always ask before making a call, and the other one as default for DATA, only as primary, and the primary is the default for everything. But with the Google phone APP I was able to set the SIM Settings to either one or always ask.
It doesn't have a separate Network Mode for secondary SIM either.

Glad I'm not alone in this. It's like pulling teeth with people convincing them there's an unlocked dual-sim us version sm-a536u1 (sm-a536uzkdxaa). Obviously Samsung is little help in this. I've removed the actual IMEI numbers for obvious reasons.
