From single sim to Double sim - Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers

Hello,
I bought a P20 lite in Orange store, but when i tried to put 2 sim, just one was reconize ( it's an ANE-LX1 ).
Do you know, what I have to do, for my P20 lite can reconize the second sim ?
Thanks you .

Do u see 2 imei codes in ure settings?

---

Same question here the phone doesn't seems supported on funky huawei

---

Where did you buy it from? Some sellers (carphone warehouse I. e.) only sell single sim versions. I got caught out with P10 lite, same model number as dual but it is only single maybe something like that has happened to you.

Reed the book U got with the phone. U can only use one sim at the time.

Well the trick is going to Settings > System and check if there are two IMEI available.
If there is, congrats, you have a dual SIM phone. To make them work you need to have two Nano SIM cards inserted (you lose the ability to have a SD card tough). Are your cards 4G/LTE compatible?
If so then you can switch between the two to have mobile data 4G/LTE. Please note that you cannot have 4G on both cards at the same time.

I have the exact same issue, bought the phone from Vodacom in South Africa, Logged a call with Huawei and they advise that Vodacom locks the ability for dual sim and there is nothing that they can do.

I do think it is possible to convert to dual SIM.
I had a Mate 9 (Single SIM) from Vodacom, re-branded to European version and then flashed the English Rom (Dual SIM). After that I flashed the local ROM again to receive updates and it is still running fine. I am just waiting for the re-branding tools to become available.

I will wait and see if some process comes up for me to get it Dual Sim even if it voids warranty.

I also have an Orange phone, unbranded, but It appears Orange in phone information. It has two sims space, but it's true, only recognize one.
It doesn't matter, but another bug disturb my mind. I can't use bank app to pay with contactless. It appears a message telling that the phone is enough secure, or it be rooted. My phone it isn't rooted, perhaps could be an NFC issue.

Have you tried changing a SIM card?

Yes, it´s possible convert the single sim to dual sim, (at least the ANE-LX3 model, the model that I have), but you need the bootloader code and other stuff. I can´t share the link but exist a Huawei Latinamerican P lite and Mate lite Facebook fan page that have some tutorials in Spanish for that (Google it). If you have a different model version I think that it´s the same process only changes the rooms for the model that you have.
Sorry for my bad English!

Dear friend,
I was in Japan in this year and bought Huawei P20 Lite which works only with one sim, second sim is inactive. I know that it is possible change oeminfo and download new firmware - but which firmware will works with my phone I don't know. My phone is model ANE-LX2J C111. It is real a lot of firmwares on firmware finder for LX2J, but which from them will support dual sim and which support my phone model I realy dont know.
