Re: phone with 2 sims

Probably wouldn't be able to say but the dual sims only have access to one sim at a time so its like carrying 2 phones. You have to switch the phone off and press a button or something to get the other network sim going. There was a samsung which let you do both sims at the same time I think but i've forgotten the name.

Edit: Samsung D880

You'll have to click to see the pic of it I couldn't get it to show up for some reason.

Re: phone with 2 sims

Take a look at this: V900 Cellphone 2.0" Touch Screen 1.3M Pixels Camera (Black) $57.56 - Free Shipping

I've been checking this site every day last week hoping that phone will be in stock. On Saturday I was surprised to see the price increased from $25 to $57 while the phone remained out of stock!!

Re: phone with 2 sims

There is a new channel on Sky called Tron that is selling a dual sim phone for £99. I think it's channel 682. The web site is www.trondirect.com
I think this phone might be what you are looking for.

Re: phone with 2 sims

missed this so a bit late replying, i have a Samsung Duos D880 the dual sim slider and its really good with both sims active at the same time and no rebooting to change text/phone out just a simple press of the sim button.

battery life is excellent and its does exactly what it says - i get mine from fleabay at £168 which was 3 months ago

recommended.

Samsung D988

Just bought this phone. It is excellent. To top it all it has T9, so message writing is a breeze. No Wifi though, otherwise phone is very good.

Re: phone with 2 sims

The other option is to forward one phone to the other. That way any calls that come through to the forwarded phone (prob best if this is the least-used one) can be answered on the other. Doesn't work for texts, but is a free solution to not wanting 2 phones with you all the time
