Hey, I have the Note 8 SM-N950F and I want to use a dual sim adapter but Samsung has looked this feature. Is it possible to unlock it with a custom rom and can I still use the S-Pen afterwards?
Thanks in Advance

Hi there,
This might be done to death but here goes - i currently have a single sim Three (unlocked) that has the exynos chipset, since i go over to the states alot, i want to get myself a dual sim Note 8 so i can use an American number with my UK number without having to annoyingly keep switching over or have 2 different phones.
Obviously dual sim means no microSD, so far i only seen Eqynos variant 64gb but elsewhere seen a Snapdragon variant 128gb which is tons more useful, in real life usage (especially coming from a S7 Edge) will i see much of a difference? Has Snapdragon caught up nowdays?
Also how easy isit without tripping anything that will disable Samsung/Android Pay to flash Carrier (Three) onto my unbranded Note 8? Mainly if i get rid of Three Note 8 phone, i lose access to 4G Super Voice which kinda sucks.
Thanks for the help
Obviously dual sim means no microSD,
Not obviously, you can DIY your SD card, just combine your SIM and SD to one, please do search, it's working well.
Thanks.
I was in the same dilema as uk samsung only sell the 64gb dual sim. Went and bought the 256gb sn9500.... no problems at all. Even using samsung pay without issue.
It is dumb that they won't allow more Ryan 64gb for uk market.
Also using the dual sim and sd card.... is probably a bit risky as the sim tray is so flimsy.
I used dual sim and sd on my axon 7 without issue... but the note 8 i think will be a bit risky.

Hi all, I'm thinking of upgrading to a note 9, my question is are all note 9 dual sim? does the hardware support it. My retailer said that the note 9 in their store does not support dual sim. I'm wondering if the hardware supports it will a custom rom enable dual sim functionality?
Thanks

With the exynos version probably. The note 8 exynos single sim version could be converted I think to dual SIM . But it requires an additional imei for that . Which last I checked wasn't possible or done on these forums.

If purchased from Samsung direct then it should be dual sim.
Ok thanks for clearing this up.

The second IMEI might be the stumbling block. It is possible the Exynos model supports the 2nd Sim. You just need to change the Sim tray and somehow get the second IMEI.

If we have another IMEI from another spare phone, is there a way to add that into the single sim phone? Thanks.

The unlocked Snapdragon variant I had was NOT dual sim capable.
The Exynos 512GB version I currently have is dual sim and has two IEMIs.
I suppose it could be possible to use dual sim cards on a single IEMI device however you could not have both radios active at the same time.
Hi guys,

Sell it and buy a dual SIM
Samsung s9 note SM-N960N ? Dual sim.
I bought 1 in HK. It has the Korean KT logo at start up. Literature says dual sim. But phone has a different sim tray where it is not possible to fit a second sim in sd slot.
I have tried getting info from Samsung, but I might just as well have tried booking a trip to the moon.
So anyone know about this or where to buy the right sim tray and experiment with second sim card
Thanks

Have you tried turning the SIM 90 degrees to fit in the MicroSD card slot in the tray?
Thanks for suggestion

If you look at pictures of a tray with 2 sim cards, they both have the same orientation so contacts on board should be in this position.
Also rotating 90 degrees does not provide a proper seat for the sim card

Hi guys. has anyone tried a dual sim card tray in the single sim version of the Note 9?
In my single sim huawei mate 9, i flashed to europe firmware and bought a dual sim card tray and now its a proper dual sim phone. as i havent loaded the dual sim firmware i cannot set which is my primary sim unless i stick the primary sim into the main tray place. But it works..
There are some videos on the youtube. I don't know is these are fraud or not. Who has the knowledge about the mainboard differences ?
Since i can not post any links due to new member thing, there is the video ids.

Yes, and Dr.Ketan's rom is one of them which supports N960N, N960F, N960FD/S. I have N960N which was single sim on stock android 10, then i flashed the rom and i got 2 imei and dual sim capability .
I am thinking of buying a sim card extender, but it requires a hybrid sim. Does anyone know if the Korean variant supports this?

Ahh thanks for the info., but alas I need my Spay, since I use it often here in Korea. If I ever root my phone I will definitely use your guide
No, the N960N does not have a hybird dual SIM system.
Hi,
I just bought a oneplus 10 pro NE2215 and I am surprised to see a dual sim connector, but no dual sim card tray....
Is it possible to upgrade to the EU version (NE2213) to activate the software part and buy the sim card tray? In order to use two sim cards on the phone.
Thanks in advance.
no
If you need dual-SIM in the US you may be better off with a Pixel 6/7 series device if you can live with one physical SIM and one eSIM.

No, there's no actual 2nd modem inside. Just the connector.
