Bkkbound04 Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I recently picked up at Samsung D880, the one that has duel SIM capacity,as I'm often having to carry work phone as well as a personal one its ideal, lots of people at work are asking how to get hold of one but its not yet on release in the UK, mine came form Hong Kong, I'm surprised there are so few phone makers offering dual sim capacity JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh_Hoy Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 How much did your phone cost? Here is a link to an International Herald Tribune article which addresses dual phones. It explains a lot in terms of who would buy them and why. http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/10/16/business/wireless17.php HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.. Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I do not find it so useful. You still have only one SIM active at a time. Just as easy to swap out SIM cards IMHO. If they made a phone that was a true dual line, where both SIMs were active at the same time, then I'd be first in line to buy! Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sims ARE both active at the same time, I can take calls from either sim & call waiting applies to both at the same time. The one thing I can't figure out is the ansaphone number for T Mobile( which is my 2nd sim), for some reason the phone won't recognise it.

.. Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Mai roo. I was very happy with my D500, so I can't say. I'd give them a go again for a new handphone. Maybe not a power plant LOL! Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
