Dual SIM

Hi, I am shortly going to have an mi5. One of the reasons I bought the phone was to have one phone and 2 SIMs thus doing away with the need to have two phones (personal and private) with me. But I am totally new to the whole dual sim thing. Can anyone explain how it works on the mi5?

All in all,
you get to choose if you want to use data from SIM 1 or SIM 2.
When u get att call it says Incomming call on <Call provider 1> or <Call provider 2>.
The same when you wanna call or text someone, either you tap SIM 1 or SIM 2. All of this could be configured in the settings menu.

Cool, thanks.

Exynos Note 8 models are (probably) all dual SIM hardware - see pic

Just to put to rest the rumor that the hardware is different, here is a picture of the SIM/SD slot on my N950N (Korean single SIM model), which you can clearly see both SIM slot pins, as well as the SD pins.
Mind you the single SIM models only come with one IMEI so I have no idea if you can use one for a dual SIM setup, but the hardware most certainly is the same.
Also, bonus pic showing that this part is apparently labeled for an N95OU which is the north American Snapdragon model. Must be sharing quite a few parts even with those ones eh?

Hi Kalm_Traveler,
I buy a N95OU1 north American Snapdragon model. I buy a dual SIM tray in Amazon. How can I make the 2 SIMs works? It's possible?

That's the thing, as Kalm_Traveler is pointing out, you only have one IMEI. Dual sim phones have 2 IMEIs. How would you obtain a second IMEI to use to use legally? And you would need root access to configure it to work even if you did happen to have a second IMEI to use.

I legally own 3 old phones (Blackberry & other model) where I could easily get valid and, again, perfectly legal IMEI's;
so besides the legal concern, which does not apply in this case, it would be interesting to know if it's possible (or will be) to root the phone and enable somehow its dual sim capability having a 2nd IMEI (owned and legal) available to set up.
If the hardware is really the same we have just to wait, maybe

Try changing this line in build.prop and see what happens.
ro.multisim.simslotcount=1
To
ro.multisim.simslotcount=2

On my Note8 monosim brand HUI Italia and rebrand Vodafone Italia in build.prop have already line ro.multisim.simslotcount=2 but not have any menu for dualsim. My phone not have root access.
To make the menus appear, do you need the dualsim cart?

On my N950U1 (Snapdragon US Samsung unlocked, non-dual SIM), using Shortcut Master app, I found the working dual sim menu. See attached ss.
So also SD Notes could be dual sim capable.

Can you please tell me how to do it? I own the sm-n950f single sim European version.

1. Install Shortcut Master (lite) from Google Play.
2. Select 'app explorer' from menu.
Select 'system apps' from pull down list.
3. Scroll down to and select
'Mobile networks' (com.samsung.networkui),
4. Scroll down to and select
'MobileNetworkSettingsTab' (com.samsung.networkui.MobileNetworkSettingsTab)
5. Press 'Launch'
I have not been able to actually test whether 2nd slot works, as I am waiting on delivery of dual-SIM tray...

I don't think it has the software to work - you would need to have some way to add Stk2, and more importantly the libsec-ril-dsds.so libraries.

Your probably right, but will see what happens when $3 tray arrives ...

Thank you so much for your help! Did you flash the dual sim rom yet ? I have also read at the forum that it actually works but we need to change some files with the similar of the dual version. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/galaxy-note-8-n950f-modding-dual-sim-t3685255) May i ask where did you get the dual sim tray from? Here in Greece it's unavailable. Thanks again and i hope everything goes well!

I did not flash anything yet... As I have SD, will /can not root easily..
Just search 'SIM tray Note 8' on Ebay...

Ok i have already subscribed to this subject so if you receive the tray and you make the dual sim work please write something here so that I will try it also to my device. (please forgive my English)
Thanks again for your support and best wishes to you for 2018!

wonder if you can just flash the duos firmware without root if you have the OEM unlock option available and get a dual sim tray?

same on my unlocked exynos model

ok, scratch my first question, firmware is the same for both Single and Duos anyway.
I have a second dual sim tray coming in the post and also have an old Samsung phone I can use imei number from to be legit so will take it from there, once I set up my dual sim I don't think I'll mind rooting this single sim as you still get OTA as long as you don't install custom Rom

just did a quick check here in case it helps anyone...
took the tray out of my dual sim to stick into my single sim Note, dual tray won't go in unless I put a sim into slot one so did that with an old inactive one and put my own sim into tray 2, rebooted just for the sake of it, can still make and take calls etc... but looking at sim info in settings... about phone... it showed sim as inactive and no mac address, I'll try with 2 active Sims when I get my hands on one over the next days.
Hopefully any small info gathered can help determine how easy/hard it will be to get dual sim out of single sim

@Kalm_Traveler looks like you'll need to add dual sim capabilities to your zip once you get wifi calling working xD

On the N950F, could it perhaps be as simple as installing a dual SIM tray and then flashing the N950FD firmware? Or just editing some files on the current firmware.
Maybe the second IMEI will come from the hardware?

Dual sim Note 8 and assigning contacts to specific SIM card.

Just got my dual sim Note 8 a few days ago. I can't see any way to assign specific contacts to a specific SIM card.
I just came from an LG V20 and there I could specify for a contact that I wanted to use a certain SIM card. So while SIM 1 (my phone) was the default, I could set that all my work related numbers dial automatically with my second, work SIM. It was in a selection of the contacts called Cost Saving or something similar.
I don't see anything like this in the note. So if I right swipe on a work contact, it will call with SIM 1. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks..

This is what I'm looking for myself and it seems incredible such a feature is missing, even more critical when you call mainly via Google assistant.
Thank you.

Mate 10 pro dual SIM

Hi there, i just got a BLA-L29 upgrade from a Mate 8. The main reason its that i need a dual SIM phone and the way it was implemented in Mate 8 was brilliant. Both Sims were active on the same time, if you're in a phone call on SIM 1 and you get a call on SIM 2 you get a notification and you can put the first call on hold and take the other one. Same the other way.
Can this simple set be achieved on Mate 10 pro?
The only setting i can find are just call forwardings between SIMs, that's more than lame as its costing money and not reachable some time (for one of my SIMS the provider only offers call forwarding to the voicemail, not a different number).
Thanks

Maybe something to reach out to Huawei about?
I would have thought this was possible since both Sims are supposed to be active, even on LTE, simultaneously. I just tried it however (receiving a call to Sim 2 while talking on Sim 1) and even tough I can manually put the Sim 1 call on hold, the call will disconnect as soon as I answer Sim 2.

Hi, I have the Dual Sim Mate 10 pro, but actually I only use it with 1 sim card.
However, I have a notification always present saying "SIM 1 call forwarding" - is there any way to disable this feature!
Thanks in advance

Mate 10 pro single sim
Hello guys. I have huawei mate 10 pro single sim, but it has 2 rows of Sim connectors.
My question is, is there any way to activate second sim slot? In settings "wireless and network" I do not have any dual sim option.
Do I have to upload software from mate 10 pro dual sim?
Regards for help.

Note 8 N950F - Convert to dual sim?

Hello,
Am new user of note 8 N950F.
At my last phone, i was using 2 sim cards. Now i see that N950F support only 1 sim card and 1 memory card
Is there any way that i can use 2 sim cards in n950f?
Thank You!

I don't think that is possible for the N950F. As it is designed to as a single SIM device.

Sorry!
Please delete post!

Strange how there's 2 sim toolkits running still.
I'm ok with pie but oreo starting to sound better.
Call recording and dual sim would be nice...

Depending on where your device originates from you may stil have call recording after you hae installed Pie onto your device. I installed Pie onto my N950N and I still have Call Recording on it.

if you device comes with the hybrid simcard tray, you can either use dual sim & no SD Card, or 1 sim and 1 SD Card.
Back on oreo you can buy those adapters to use 2 simcards and 1 SD card simultaneously but on Pie (One UI) samsung decided to block it.. so you can either use Dual Sim & No Sd Card or 1 sim & 1 SD Card.
I hated this.. so i went out to installed a pre-rooted custom rom as close to stock i can find, which the ROM maker edited it to accept the dual sim & 1 sdcard mod. I lost my knox and samsung pay, bt got samsung pay to work on my samsung gear sport instead. dont misunderstand me, spay still doesnt work on the phone but can work on gear sport if you hide the spay related packages via magisk hide.
Secure folders dont work anymore unfortunately. it was my favourite to "hide" apps and a seperate and secure photo gallery..
as for call recording, google decided to kill off 3rd party call recording (yes, google not samsung did it).. BUT since android has native call recording, and is activated via CSC, and having a rom that is pre-rooted, i went ahead and activated call recording.. and enabled camera shutter sound option (to enable the option to switch off camera shutter sound in camera app)
so, if you do not mind loosing knox and knox related features, go get yourself a custom rom. (i personally went for Dr Ketan's ROM)

Thank you!
This sound good because andorid version on my phone is 8.0.0 and smasung experience version is 9.0

But this isn't really dual sim.. U can only use 1sim at a time. Unlike real dual sim with active standby for both sims

You are right!
Don't think you can truly convert a single sim phone (SM-N950F) into a true dual sim phone (SM-N950F/DS).
Because I think you'll need 2 IMEI's numbers while the SM-N950F has only one IMEI number. So that is probably the only choice is to switch between the sims.
I deleted my first post because that was more for the dual sim phone and not for the single sim phone. Sorry for the confusion on that!
Hopefully someone has figured something out for the single sim phone to use 2 sims at once (1 active and 1 in standby mode)!
Wish the OP luck on figuring this out!

Ohhh, on sime per time. Is same as single sim
I will continue use my single sim note 8

yes, this isn't a dual sim this way. In my opinion is dual sim constantly have 2 number available.
Like the SM-N950FD
