Dual SIM review: Mobiles go two-in-one

03 August 2007
Using two SIM cards in one phone is increasingly becoming an option that people are willing to consider. Using both a personal and a business number with one single handset, saving some money by combining two different plans or network carriers...

Dual Sim Card save mobile bill cost and no n... moreAbsolutely, the landscape of mobile technology has evolved significantly since 2007, especially in the realm of dual-SIM functionality. Today, using two SIM cards in one phone has become not just an option, but a common practice embraced by many users worldwide.

With the rise of dual-SIM smartphones, people can easily manage both personal and business numbers on a single device, streamlining their communication needs. This has proven especially beneficial for individuals who want to separate work and personal calls, or for those who frequently travel and need to use local SIM cards without swapping them.

Moreover, dual-SIM phones offer the flexibility to choose and switch between different plans or network carriers, allowing users to take advantage of the best deals for calls, data, and messaging. This flexibility has not only simplified the lives of many users but has also led to increased competition among carriers, ultimately benefiting consumers with more affordable and diverse options.

In essence, the ability to use two SIM cards in one phone has not only become a practical solution for managing multiple numbers but has also opened up a world of possibilities for cost savings and convenience in our increasingly connected world.

        Poisonspider, 13 Sep 2007I got big problems with the Simore SIM Adapter for 2 SIM Ca... moreI have a Dual SIM Adapter from Simore of the type Infinite Light installed in my Samsung Galaxy S smart phone. The installation was easy and it immediately worked.

        However, switching between the two SIM cards takes ages (somtimes in the order of minutes). Sometime the SIM-Toolkit app (for switching between SIMs) crashes.

        Next, I had the problem that the SIM-Toolit app suddenly disappeared over night. I had to remove Simore, boot without it, shutdown, re-install Simore, and re-boot. The app reappeared.

        Summarizing, it works in principle but I am not really satisfied. I can not recommend it.

              do you have to have two sim cards in a dual sim phone for it to operate or will it work with just one sim ?

                Worst product you can buy is from Simore. It is so expensive and so fragile and mine stop working after 3.5months. Simore refused to replace it, stating that product carry 3 months warranty from date of manufacture!!! So, fair product from shitty company. Buying this product you trying your luck.

                  This review is no up to date. there's some companies that have created very good "smartphones". That's what we want to know.

                      Does this mean that the only sensible dual phones(and by sensible i mean not chinese mass prod.) are the samsung duos?

                                      I have a question dual sim my phone T22, how many message can the inbox handle???

                                      cause I have a samsung D880 and it can only handle up to 200 message for both 2 sims card combine, and if you have a message that is too long it will be counted as two or three. so if example it is counted as 3, so for that single long message...you'll end up with 197.

                                      the only solution is keep in deleting receive message after you read it.

                                        I'm using chinese made TV22 dual sim phone which has camera, mp3, tv, radio etc., works very well but the drawback is battery which runs out soon. I purchased new 2 new batteries which last just 2-3 hours only. My original battery still runs 7-8 hours. I feel when this battery will stop charging, I will have to replace it with Samsung.
