Could you explain how dual sim works?
Does it work at the same time or have to switch between sim1 or sim 2?
For example
Use SIM1 one for internet browsing – somebody will call me on SIM1 or SIM2. Will phone ringing on both? Or for SIM2 calls have to switch to SIM2?
interested to know as well.

You have to turn call forwarding active.
Under sim card manager, lase section general you need to select dual sim always on. with this if you are speaking on sim one and you get a call on sim two it will come on sim one as it will get forwarded. so you wont miss calls from either sim even if you care on a call.
For internet both card slots have 4g but only one is active 4g and second will be 2g. you can select whichever you want.
I have N9208 and assume it is the same for dula sim Note phones.

So there is no way to get calls to both SIMs without calls forwarding?

Not 100% sure but don't think so mate.
You'll get calls to both sims when idle, unless you're already talking on one. That's when you need call forwarding, so you won't miss second call.
SM-N920?

It is sounds better
What about situation when use internet data? For example downloading file using SIM1? Can I still get calls to SIM2?

Yes. While downloading if you're setup to use data on sim 1, you'll get call on sim 2. When you pick up that call download will stop I think. Not 100 percent sure cause different phones have different arrangements... If your call comes on sim 1 the data will continue to download. Vice versa.

Hi. I have a galaxy note 5 dual sim (n9208) and when I'm on a call on sim 1 (configured as 2G), automatically i lose the internet connection in the sim 2 (configured as 3g/LTE, but my network is just 3G) and I stay without internet connection all the time while I'm on the call.
I have set the sim 1 only for calls (2g) and the sim 2 only for the internet (3 / LTE but my network is only 3g).
It is very inconvenient not to have internet connection while you are talking on the phone you can not receive a whatsapp or browse.
There is a way to solve this problem?
Thank you.

Hey there,
Does anyone has this model??
What the opinion about it??
Hi,
I have similar question.
Does anybody have this model?
Are there any issues like there were with S4 mini duos? Mainly network issue it was experiencing, dropping connection and never reconnecting until reboot, poor signal sometimes, etc.
Is the dual sim active-active like on S5 duos? In case you are in call on SIM1 and someone tries to call SIM2, do you get notification or it is sent straight to voice mail.
I'm really tempted by this model, to replace my old HTC HD2
Thanks for any input!

I have this one, currently the main problem for me is poor battery life, I have 3g/4g enable whole day to receive emails and at the end of the day te baterry is at about 50-40% . I did not noticed any issue with network. Regarding the dual sim I'm not sure, if I call from one sim to second sim it says that the number is not responding.
Cool, thanks for info. Friend has S5 and he isn't able to get even 1 day out of battery, so I'm prepared to get 2 days max out of it
Regarding the calls, I have found out that if you are on call on one sim, other one is disconnected, but what you can do is apply call forwarding on each of them (of course you need to pay for that) and then it will get redirected to active sim.
@squider: Im curious, can you tell if its possible to set 3g either on SIM1 or SIM3 (seccond one will have to be 2G).
What I mean if I have two SIM cards (3g on SIM1 and 2g on SIM2) and I'll finish network packet on first, do I have to phisically swap SIM cards, or only change settings, and set 3g to SIM2, and 2g to SIM1 ?

Yes, you can set in settings which sim should use 2G and which 3G..
Quick question for you dual SIM users.
Does the Moto G2 support 3G on both Sims?
I intend using two three SIM cards, but they only support 3G. So if SIM two is only working on 2G it would be no good to me.
Thanks
The data connection is for one sim only, you get to choose if you use data on sim one or two, data is automatically change sim, for example from 3g sim1/2g sim2 to 2g sim1/3g sim2
Thanks, I'm with you. So with my two three Sims there would be only one SIM on at any one time.
I have I signal SIM moto g1 now, and if I switch to 2g only the three SIM no longer works.

Both Sim work at the same time while I'm using 3g in any Sim.
Data is available only for one Sim at a time, but the change is really fast and automatic when you select which Sim to use for data
I use mine with same carrier, it uses the 850mhz band.
Remember this phone is dualsim standby, it means if you're using voice in one Sim the other is unreachable.

Yes just on most networks if you are on 2G the sim still works. On three they don't.
A three SIM won't work on 2G no calls text or anything.
So even with both sims in standby only one would receive calls, am I right?
Only way to receive calls on either SIM (from standby) on a moto g is if at least one SIM works on 2G?

I've own two dual sim phones s4mini (lost it) an this moto g 2014, both are stated as dual sim standby, I haven't notice any difference in the way they handle simcards/data/voice.
On both phones I've use same carrier/numbers, one is personal (same number for 10+ years) the other from work (same number for 5+ years).
I've never missed a call on either Sim.
Even if I'm downloading something I can receive calls and text messages on that sim the download stops but my phone core functionality is still a phone for both simcards with any combination of data in 2g/3g or 2g/2g.
I'm never going to carry two separated phones, for me is enough the dualisim standby functionality.
For you is a pain that your carrier don't support 2g network any dual sim standby won't work, you need a dual sim phone with two separate modems

Thanks for confirming that, only other thing I can do is use one SIM and activate call divert on the other number.
That's the main drawback with three only supporting 3G/4G
So I have my Verizon sim in tray 1 & my T-Mobile sim in tray 2. What I am trying to do is have the data push through the T-Mobile sim but still maintain calls and text coming in from Verizon sim. When I set Dial to sim 1 & Internet to sim 2 in the options it just shuts down the Verizon sim completely. What am I missing? Is what am trying to do not possible?
20 views and nada, come on someone has to have some input they can provide me lol
So I finally got the phone to keep both sims registered to their networks and my calls and sms work with it set to my Verizon sim but I can't get the data to push through on the T-Mobile sim!!!!! AHHHHHH
I think the Mi MIx only has 1 4G radio? So that if both SIM cards require 4G connection, only 1 can be connected at one time
I understand, this is exactly why I wanted this phone too! Where did you buy yours and how long till you received it?
No voice calls.

Can you tell me what you did? I have data and sms going through fine but no calls.
Thank you.
Has any one resolved this issue?
I recently got a VZW SIM card, and everything works when it's the only SIM in the Mi MIX...but if I also put in my Project Fi SIM...I cannot send SMS via my Project Fi SIM--which carriers my main number...even though MMS also works on my Verizon SIM card......
Hi,
Got the note 9 since friday. working great. but i noticed that when i call on sim2, i can use mobile data of sim 1.
Default mobile data is from sim1. and phone calls are set to ask every time.
now my sim2 is my work number. during the working hours i call alot with this number.
my sim 1 is my private sub from t-mobile. and i mainly use the data plan of it. since i dont wanna use the internet that my boss pay's for for my personal use.
Now since i got this setup. what happends is. some one texts me a foto through whatsapp. and then calls me to sim2 before i can look / dowload the picture. then when i pickup the phone they ask me did u see the picture i sent you. i then open whatsapp. but i get the msg no network.
what i noticed is that when i call on sim1 i still have LTE data. (cause sim1 provides the data)
so it cant use data from sim 1 and voice from sim2 at the same time?
also is there a way to set certain apps to use data of a specific sim card?
lets say i open my 2nd whatsapp that it loads the images sent there from my sim2 network
but when i open my 1st whatsapp (2nd app cloning) it uses data from sim1?
or any other apps for exmp chrome and samsung internet?
is there any tweak that automates the switch data to sim2 as soon as i make a call with sim2?
now i can just click on the sim settings menu and change the default data to sim2 to receive data during the call. but when im driving in my car this are alot of buttons to press and i rather not.
i don't own N9 yet. read about dual sim technology varieties on the net, theoretically N9 should be able to get dual VOLTE feature on both SIMs (assuming it supported by carrier(s), and phone shows VOLTE icon on both SIMs). in the event you are making call on SIM 1 & trying to get data on SIM 2 or vice versa, this requires dual sims dual volte (DSDV) feature kicks in and liberates you to choose which SIM to get data from.
might really want to consult with your carrier(s) if both SIM support VOLTE.
Are you able to get VoLTE and WiFi calling to work on the international dual sim F variant of Note-9 on US T-mobile network?
Hey guys i got Samsung s10 with lycamobile on it. It such a strange issue but I can make phone calls but do not receive calls. I tried calling it with an iPhone and it went straight to voice mail. The weirdest thing is when I switched the sims with a tmobile sim from my iPhone to the Samsung, it receives calls perfectly. When I put the lycamobile sim on the iPhone it also receives calls too. I tried turning off wifi calling didn't help. anything Im doing wrong?

We do not know what additional applications you have installed.
Perhaps a restrictive setting, some kind of call blocker?

Nah I have all those off. Do you have the setting location on where it might be? And I’m not sure if it’s even a setting I put my T-Mobile sim in the Samsung and it receives calls perfectly
The other SIM card is lycamobile that doesn’t receive calls and if I put the lycamobile sim in my iPhone it works!
