Does anyone know where I can get the Dual SIM phones from WND? I have been looking for a two line (simultaneous) in one handset GSM phone for forever and these guys at http://www.wndtelecom.com say that they are making them.

Has anyone tried these phones? Does anyone know where to get them from?

Do you specifically need the phone to do this? You can buy sim adapters pretty cheap (someone linked to a site a little while back)

Dependent on your phone you either have to chop the two to make them smaller, or they fit directly.

Have a search back a couple of weeks on this forum and you should be able to find it

The problem with SIM card adaptors is that they can only activate one line/SIM at a time. Which means that you have to turn one SIM off in order to activate the second one. Whereas with the Wind Duo you can activate both SIM cards together. ie: you can hold the first line coming on your first SIM & make a call using your second SIM.

I didn't have the opportunity to test any dual SIM phone from WND Telecom, but they sure look interesting. I just noticed that they have a phone with an integrated earpiece that they call Atom Van Gogh. That’s really interesting for me. Check it out:

If the two sims are on the same network you could have two lines moved onto the one sim.

I just read a post on another forum where a user is using one SIM from UAE and the other from UK.

Hey GSMagic, i'm about to buy this phone - http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/dualsim/index.htm#grey - which can run 2 sims from 2 different networks at the same time.

I'll let you know how I get on.

The thing is that I want to use both lines at the same time. I have heard that the DUO 2000 has two transmitters/receivers enabling me to send and receive phone calls on both faces at the same time.

bloofire, how did you get on with that dual sim phone? Did it work, if so which networks are you on?

Hi guys, im a new poster here and just wanted to update you on the above phone.

There is a new model of the WND Duo being released in October, and I have seen and used this phone, and its amazing. I know the guy who was the distribution rights for the Middle East.

As opposed to the phone that was mentioned that you can use the 2 sim cards simultaneously, this is literally 2 handsets in one, it has 2 cameras, 2 memory cards, is Tri Band and is very user friendly.

If anyone is interested in purchasing this phone, get in touch with me.

Is this the Duo 2000 or Duo Atom?

GSMagic -

I don't know whether it's any help but I use a dual sim card adapter which takes my private Virgin SIM and my work Vodafone SIM cards. I have the Vodafone line diverted to my Virgin line so I get both sets of calls on the same line. It does mean that my work Vodafone a/c is charged with an outgoing call to Virgin if some one calls my work number but then the firm is paying for it. The only time I need to switch SIMs is when I want to make a call on the firms a/c and that's not really any hassle as I have the "Dual Card" switch customised under a soft key. I've used these adapters this way on a V600, V3, V3i and now on a V8.

Works for me.

Cheers!

I guess you're talking about the Duo 2200

It's the best solution to stop carrying two handsets! Both SIMs work at the same time and they are BOTH active.

It's a great innovation, those WND guys are genius!!!
