Hi everyone!
I noticed a large selection of dual or triple sim card adapter out there allowing us to have more than one sim installed in our phones at a time.
Just had a quick question if anyone has used them.
Do both slots allow LTE support? Or just the main slots?
I travel from Canada to USA and would love to find a sim option that allows me to switch between Sims when I cross the border, but I'd like to make sure LTE and all features work on both Sims, not just the main one.
Thanks for your advice!
Hi, I think that only the SIM that is into the phone takes internet, the others only make calls, you cannot use them for internet.
Cheers

Hi.
I bought myself no-brand adapter on amazon.
TL;DR version? My adapter allows LTE only on "first" sim. Second one is limited to HSDPA speeds.

No. Both sim chips are fully functional on my unit, only with limitation in form of LTE being present on main slot. Also, only one sim chip is active at any given time - that was exactly what I needed, so I don't mind rebooting my phone when I switch carriers. For active dual sim support a phone with build in dual slots for SIM is needed.

I have looked all over for a dual sim phone that will allow both sims to connect using 3G or 4G at the same time.
Does such a phone exist?
There are many dual sim phones that look quite nice, such as the LG G4 or OnePlus 2, but it appears they all allow only one sim to use 3G/4G while the other has to use 2G
This seems like a ridiculous restriction since 2G is no longer supported by many carriers and soon won't be supported by any carriers in some countries. Surely there are dual sim phones which allow two 4G connections? Or even 3G+4G.
Is 1+X dual sim active?

According to the official site it's DualStandby.
"Go anywhere and be connected. Your OnePlus X is unlocked and capable of using dual standby SIM cards with 4G speeds right out of the box. You have the freedom to use it all over the globe, no questions asked." https://oneplus.net/in/x

Yes, I'm using two simcards. :good:
Also check with your service provider before you buy! I just got OPX and put in my korean and my austrian sim card....and well, surprise! The 3G network here in Korea (and apparently in Japan) does not allow 2 active sim cards in one phone. I'm screwed...
Jep, its working.

I asked and got this answer from UNDERkg on youtube: It's not the matter of allowing or not. Dual SIM phones only support one 3G/4G at a time at which the other SIM gets to only pick 2G signals up. Korean networks do not have compatible 2G networks and therefore the secondary SIM has no signal for itself.
I knew that korea had no 2G network but the OPX description says something like 'dual sim 4G standby' or that's what I understood. so I thought it would be working in korea...
There seems to be a bit of confusion here. I'm very curious to know if the Oneplus X is dual sim ACTIVE?
To be clear there are basically two types of dual SIM phones, active and standby. Standby means you can only use one SIM at a time, so you have to switch back and forth. Active means you can use both SIMs at the same time. In other words you can receive a call on either SIM without switching.
I need to know if the Oneplus X is active or standby.....thanks
Hello everyone,
i could take this phone as an upgrade with my current plan, however it is of course single sim.
In EU there are any differences in the hardware between single sim and dual sim (other than the sim tray slot)?
Thanks

I wish it was that simple, could use that functionality tbh... Unfortunately you can not convert a single sim card phone into a dual sim card.
This is because the phone lacks the necessary connections/hardware internally for dual sim card support.
I have the sm-G991Gu1 that I ordered from samsung in the US. Currently using it with a tmo aim card.
I've read that all s21 models are dual sim. Is this true? Can I put in another sim card from my European carrier and use it when traveling etc? (not esim).

Hi
I think your model 1 sim only , you can double check under settings / about phone if you have 1 or two Imei, also your sim try has one or two slots?
For those that have the S23U in North America, can you tell me if the phone will take two physical sims yet or do we only have on SIM slot and one eSim?
One and One
I'm not in US but it's same version worldwide. The sim tray has room for 2 nano sim. So you can have either 2 physical sims or 1 esim + 1 physical.
Hope this helps
My T-Mobile has ONE SIM card slot and ONE eSIM.
I converted my physical SIM to an eSIM without issue and have a normal SIM slot available.

Once the green SIM tray replacements are available in dual-SIM. I am going to order a couple and see if t he second slot actually works. The second IMEI is there, regardless of whether it is used for eSIM or dual-SIM. The DSDS apk is listed in system apps although I would like to get a hold of the DSDA apk to see if there would be a way to replace it through a custom ROM to enable dual active, even if it's just with one pSIM and one eSIM.

Would be fantastic if we can use real dual SIM but I don't put it past Samsung to have made physical changes to the device to make sure we can't use it.
