        Prestigio 4055 user, 17 Jan 2014Yes Skype works well on this phone. I use Skype version 4 i... moreThe same situation is with Whatsapp messenger.

        Whether you phone is single SIM or Dual SIM, you can install Whatsapp messenger application only once via Google Play Store. So, only 1 phone number can be registered via your phone and you can use only 1 number in your dual-SIM phones. However, if you use an Android phone (single SIM or Dual SIM), you can not use multiple accounts and multiple installations of Whatsapp on your phone, because this app do not support multiple accounts or two numbers connected to the same account.

          Robin, 22 Jan 2014Today i have purchased 4055 Duo mobile from Bangladesh. How... moreLatest official Prestigio OS is 4.1.1 / Firmware version (build number) 1.0.28 from 17.12.2013. Whether and when Prestigio planning to upgrade OS to some of the later versions (4.2, 4.3 or 4.4) who knows?

          But you can try to install unofficial, modified ROM on your own risk.
          Try to search on some prestigio compatible ROMs on xda-developers forum or some of the russian forums:
          http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440631
          http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=471931&st=1240
          -------------------------------------------------------
          Do not rush before you decide to install some custom ROM, consider the implications (consequences) and review the experiences of those who have already tried – good, cons, etc. ... the loss of warranty ...

                viber on 2sim, 17 Jan 2014How works Skype and Viber? How to use Viber on dual SIM phone?Yes Skype works well on this phone. I use Skype version 4 installed 5-6 months ago and it works good. Can be use and video calls too.

                I haven't try to use Viber on this phone, but can use it - no reason why can not.
                According to experience of some Viber users on dual SIM phones, you can use a Viber application, but only 1 number/SIM you will be able to register to the application.
                ---------------------------------------
                I search internet and as reply of this question: (“Is it possible to include a second telephone number on my Viber account?”), I found this answer from an official representative of Viber:
                - Viber currently supports only one phone number per device. We might add an option to have few numbers connected to the same account in the future.
                (Answer is from 2 years ago, but still nothing is done?)

                      *2 way G sensor for display rotation works in extreme positions

                        AnonD-222302, 08 Jan 2014i plan to buy this phone plz and disadvantage of this phoneAdvantages:
                        - Pretty fast and stable operating system Android 4.1.1.
                        - Good classic design and strong body.
                        - Strong battery 2500 mAh (lasts 3-4 days for normal usage)
                        - Quality headphones for music and radio
                        - Two SIM cards with good SIM Manager (only one card is 3G, but easy setup and change card to be 2G or 3G)
                        - Easy and simple to operate

                        Disadvantages:
                        - Bad viewing angles on the screen
                        - Slow and not accurate G sensor for display rotation (2 way G sensor)
                        - For the 8 megapixel camera is not acceptable noise and low sensitivity to dim light and dark (weak flashlight effective only up to 0.5 meters)
                        - Battery showing percentage is not accurate
                        - Widgets are mostly native Google, and it seems poorer than that of Samsung, HTC or Sony.

                              You can find it in: Settings>About phone>Build number,
                              should be:PAP4055DUO.20130418.v.1.0.16 if it not updated at all,
                              or if it previously updated to v.1.0.22 should be: PAP4055DUO.20130715.v1.0.22

                              For the latest firmware update v.1.0.28 Build number is: PAP4055DUO.20131217.v.1.0.28

                                  Accelerometer only works in two extreme positions, Wrong battery indicator, are incorrigible, don't expect to be fix and don't losing your time for discuss!

                                  1. Accelerometer (2 way G sensor for display rotation) only works in two extreme positions - can't fix it is not software problem, it is hardware problem;

                                  2. Battery indicator - do not lean on the pointer of battery percent because is not accurate (percentage does not match the real battery state):
                                  - from 100% to 85% sometimes dropping down very fast even when phone is in sleep,
                                  - from 85% to 25% dropping not linear with jumps,
                                  - from 25% to 0% holding pretty much long (sometimes up to 1,5 day),

                                  However not so bad, there are and positive sides:
                                  Prestigio 4055 Battery Endurance Rating is 51h (58h) i.e. 51h for battery consumption from 100% to 10% and 58h for battery consumption from 100% to 0%.
                                  According to “helpix.ru” comparisons and tests, Prestigio 4055 has 13% better battery life from Samsung I9500 Galaxy S4 (Prestigio 4055 score = 113%, Samsung I9500 S4 score = 100%) (see more on http://helpix.ru/articles/battery-test.html ).
                                  This means that you will need to charge the phone every 51 hours if you do an hour of Video Playback, an hour of Internet Wi-Fi and an hour of Voice calls every day. More for battery live and testing on: http://www.gsmarena.com/gsmarena_lab_tests-review-751p6.php

                                  My experience about battery life is 3-5 days.
                                  Average I do about 20-30 calls per day (total duration for all daily calls about 50-70 min on both SIM), and I use 5-10 times 3G internet only for weather condition update on widget sense clock.
