No it does not. Dual sim means it has 2 sim card slots in it and the sgs2 only has the one standard sim slot.
Most chinese "knock off" devices have dual sim which is a cool option in my opinion...

You can buy Dual SIM card Adapter.

Hi,
Does anyone know of a dual sim adapter for 2x micro sims to 1x micro sim? I have a Galaxy S3 with a micro sim slot, so most dual sim adapters don't fit. Would a iphone dual sim adapter work? Or don't they have the SDK for android?
I have been told magic-SIM.com will have one in a week or so.

Uhhh, I paid 20 NZ $ for a blank microsim to trnasfer the connection
Should have tried the above method first as anyhow that sim is now useless.
thanks, had the same question.
All I did was get a micro sim adapter for 75p and put the sticker on and cut it out with scissors.
Don't your service providers give you a free microsim if you ask for one???
at&t gave me one for free
I paid 20€ for a new microSIM after messing up my old regular SIM by cutting it myself..
Does it take micro, mini, or regular sim card?

Call your carrier and tell them to send you a new SIM, or if you don't want to wait for a new SIM, go to [Insert carrier] store and tell them to make you a new one, and you'll have it within five minutes. That's how it works here at least.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes, just visit your carrier and ask for a nano sim.. us here in the Philippines would replace it free of charge and would say it will take 24hrs to activate.. but it normally activates w/in 6hrs..

Or if you are confident enough you can cut it manually with scissors. What I did and worked perfectly.

I think it would be much safer if you use a exacto knife (i dont know how u spell it but we call it blade cutter here at my place) + a ruler or any straight edge to guide you rather than just a scissor...
Scissors have the tendency to bend the card if you made a mistake and slipped..

There is too a mini sim! It's what you called 'regular sim'.
The original sim (Full Size Sim) was the size of a credit card!
Then they bought out the Mini Sim. Which was used for years and years.
Then came the Micro Sim. Likes used in the Z Ultra and SGS3.
Then came the Nano Sim. Likes used in one of the iphones. Don't know which one, don't care. I phones suck.
There's also an Embedded Sim which is tiiiiiiiny.
Does anyone knows if the Mega can be made to work on Straight Talk?
I'd venture to say Yes.
As long as you are sim unlocked.
I'm using net 10 which is very similar. Just buy the prepaid cards from WalMart (no contract) and it does 4G just fine.

Sent from my GT-I9205 using xda app-developers app
I think with Straight Talk you have to order the sim from their web-site
Then you buy the mins from Walmart
Walmart sells the Net 10 sim right on the rack
Called bring your own phone kit
Comes with a full size and a micro sim plus first month of service
I think I paid $65.00 for the kit
I activated it on a full size sim from another phone I was using at the time.
On the Mega, I had to cut the sim down with a razor blade.

Thats cool if you get 2 sims...im wondering if I can put the micro in my mega AND it's full sized twin in my tab//phone , Samsung GT-P6800 and have them both work? Ie: same phone number ...data plan? ?... that would be a trick. .
Sent from my GT-I9205 using xda app-developers app
No I think the reason they give you two cards is they try cover all the bases not knowing what device you have.
Only one card can be activated though.
One or the other.
You can buy two kits but it would twice the money and two different phone numbers.

Very true as when i got my mega from my carrier they gave me a new sim card which was part of the deal..basically a activation fee and my old sim from them was still good with the same number they put to my new sim card, and they told me that my old one will be no good to use even though both sim cards had the same number on it, but i tried my old one anyways and it was no good like they said..it said insert sim card, so no two sims cards can have the same number..would be cool but not happening. :silly:

Yes correct
GSM technology is very secure
I once bought a sim card replicator that promised to duplicate/clone any GSM sim card.
I wanted to do this so I would not have to keep taking battery/cover/sim card from one device and put in another then back again all the time.
I was never going to fire up both devices at the same time
(As that would cause a ripple in the fabric of deep space and a tear in the time/space continuum).
Anyway allz it did was destroy my original sim and I had to pay AT&T $20.00 for a new sim card.

Yes Sir
Definately a learning experience
A Radio Shack sales rep wanted to bet me $100.00 that it would NOT work.
If I were a betting man I'd been out another $100.00.
On top of the $ 30.00 I paid l for the cloner
And the $ 20.00 I paid for a new sim card.
Sometimes learning can be expensive
I offer if here for free.
I still think it can be done though.
Just not with that device
Anything man invents can be exploited
I just didn't have the resources to seek out someone who had the capabilities, equipment and knowledge to do it.
Plus no funds to keep buying new sims.
Ever since wifi tether came along there's no need anymore.

Ok. I'm now on a CDMA Network. I just bought a Mega AT&T from Swappa. how do I know if it is sim unlocked?
Hi guys,
I went to best buy today and got my note 3. When I got home I found there's a sim card already put in the sim card slot. I am puzzled, last time I see this was on my touch pro 2, and I was told by sprint customer service representative that the sim card in my touch pro 2 was actually a gsm sim card for the purpose of international roaming. That makes sense, so I bought that story.
When I look at this sim card in my note 3, I'm wondering what is it used for? Since I believe sprint note 3 uses embedded sim card to store cdma+lte keys I suppose this actual sim card in the slot is not used for that purpose. Could it also be a sim card used for international roaming? Or is it the case that the embedded sim card stores cdma keys and this actual sim card stores lte keys, like verizon phones?
Thanks for any input that could clarify this.
Cheers
Listen... I work for sprint .. that sim card is for international use .. How it works is .. If you have the phone active on your line for more then 90 days then call in to the international department and tell them u want unlock the SimCard . Then u can use the sim or take it out and use a sim card from another country

So this is just like the old days, a free useless international gsm sim card coming along with a new phone. Thanks trabent, you helped a lot clarifying my confusion.
The sim is also used for LTE on sprint.

It can be unlocked on day one. There is no 90 waiting. If it hasn't been on your account for 90 days they call you to ask you a few questions then unlock it. Put the unlock request in one day one then they called me back the next day to unlock it.
