Flashback: some crazy phones had three or even four SIM card slots

29 May 2022
How many is too many? Dual-SIM phones have their uses and the first arrived in 2000. But things got out of control for a period after that.

Sort by:

I remember this, I used to have triple sim slot on feature phone. Ahhh the old day

    triple sim card was cool back then. but i was expecting dual sdcard slot back in the days.

      "As we mentioned earlier, there isn’t much need these days, not even for three. Perhaps not even for two physical SIMs, given the convenience of eSIM."

      Amazing how people are willing to trade security for convenience. And I wouldn't call it convenient either, you have to go to the provider and have them apply the esim information into your phone.

          I got to have several lol

            Back then, people simply just had several jobs. And instead 2 or 3 phones, they had 1 phone with all the cards. 1 private and 3 work.

              All phones sold here have dual SIM, even the basic phones have it. I used to have 4 cards at some point. It was a long time ago

                World would be a lot better place if Google never existed. Also, never had need for a phone with more than single SIM.
