Hello everyone. So i bought a used Moto g6 3gb variant from market last night. So far good experience with the phone so far except one thing.
It was sold to me from dealer saying its a single sim variant but when i came back home it had 2 sims + card options in the tray so i've searched the IMEI on various sites and turns out its a XT1925-2 so it is indeed a dual sim variant.
But when i put *#06# on Dialer it just shows me 1 IMEI number instead of 2? How is this possible?
I could be mixing this up, but I thought the IMEI is based on the device and not the SIM, so a dual SIM device would still have just one IMEI?

Dual-SIM devices are supposed to have two IMEIs. You can't have two SIMs on one IMEI. Avoids problems.
Anyone? Why my cellphone has 2 sim options when theres only 1 IMEI? Is this the work of gypsies? xDDD
Could be that the phone was originally single sim but then flashed with dual sim firmware and had the tray replaced with a dual sim tray. I'm actually waiting on my dual sim tray to do the same on my xperia xz2
SIM TRAY
You can find both imeis on SIM TRAY.
I bought Galaxy S9 plus with dual sim G965FD, and it has same identical imei numbers for both sim slots. I am confused how? Both sim cards are working fine.
I'm having the same issue on my moto g4 after flashing the stock rom usually whenever I flashed the stock rom earlier my imei's turned down to 0 but this time only one imei is showing and even in the settings I'm getting one sim please help
Not the same phone, but I owned two Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (broke the first one after a month...). The first one had different IMEI for each slot. The 2nd one had the same IMEI for each slot. Despite the oddity, I have not run into any issue by using two SIMs in the last 3 years.

please send me imei in a private message. i know a way to find correct details through imei.
too late but maybe is not original phone but chainaillegal copy on mediatek
well after all, imei is more like just an identification of your device for the antennas, so there should be no problem it is as if you just swap your sim card every time you want to use one or the other number, so I dont think there should be any problem using a single IMEI

hello all. this question may be stupid, but esentially for me: can i made 2 sim cards to work both on my diamond in the same time? I mean to can receive a call on the orange sim card and to receive also to vodafone sim card without to be need to change the sims, or to change the operator? to function both.
I guess there are a couple of mobiles (with two antennas) able to do that (seen one, can't remember the brand and model). With only one antenna what you can do is clone both SIM cards into just one and with a reboot you have the option of starting up with one network or the other (I reckon you can have more than 2). I don't know if it's possible with current SIM cards and can't remember the hardware and software needed to do that.
Oh.. And it's illegal The best option is to have more than one mobile
yes i know about that devices that have 2 antenna's. i was wondering if i can do it on diamond. i know also about that method with 2 sim and after restart to choose the network operator. thx for the answer.
So I just got a new Nexus 6 to replace my other Nexus 6 (cracked screen).
I have a nano sim that worked without any issues for months in my original Nexus 6. It has an IMEI number ending in 858 and an IMEI SV of 10.
When I transfer the sim to the new Nexus 6, the phone recognizes that a SIM has been inserted and it reads an IMEI, but it will not recognize anything about the network. It gives me an IMEI number ending in 592 and has an IMEI SV of 0A.
My gut tells me that the SIM reader in the new phone is busted and this is just garbage it's reading. But it's fully repeatable, despite whatever cleaning/blowing/speed-of-insertion I have been trying to get it to work.
Question is: is it possible to have two similar phones read different IMEI numbers from the same identical SIM card?
My understanding is that the IMEI number is device specific and not related to the SIM card at all. I would expect that getting a new device would result in a different IMEI number.
I agree. It's the *device* that owns the IMEI, not the SIM.
Hey guys,
This is sort of an odd question but I thought it would be worth asking anyway.
I recently bought this phone but then realised it's the single SIM variant. At the time of purchase I didn't appreciate there were two versions. I mean, even the manual says you can put a second SIM instead of the memory card.
Anyway as you can imagine this is very annoying because the shop won't take the phone back "just because". So I looked on eBay and I can buy the dual SIM variant SIM tray.
Do you think I can just replace the single SIM tray with the dual SIM tray and use two SIM cards like a champ? I guess the OS wouldn't recognise the second SIM, would it?
I'd be grateful if someone could shed some light on this issue and let me know what my options are (if any).
Cheers
I mean that is impossible, but you can try to ask a question to Nokia support, maybe

I think it's not possible, dual sims are being flashed with a different firmware version from HMD. Let us know.
Differeent rom flashed? Ok but then this must be because of the second imei that got to be written somewhere in a flash partition. Would the Android os-code be really that different?
I think it would not be possible not because of the different firmware or missing imei2 but because of a possibly missing sim2 slot connection
Check attached pictures of the different sim trays attached and an inside view of the sim slot!

The second IMEI exists!
Trying to type the code *#06# I've found two IMEI number for my TA-1004.
In Settings -> Network menù, there is SIM Cards section
The only test to do is to buy the dual sim tray and check if it works.
