However, switching between the two SIM cards takes ages (somtimes in the order of minutes). Sometime the SIM-Toolkit app (for switching between SIMs) crashes.

Next, I had the problem that the SIM-Toolit app suddenly disappeared over night. I had to remove Simore, boot without it, shutdown, re-install Simore, and re-boot. The app reappeared.

Summarizing, it works in principle but I am not really satisfied. I can not recommend it.

do you have to have two sim cards in a dual sim phone for it to operate or will it work with just one sim ?

Worst product you can buy is from Simore. It is so expensive and so fragile and mine stop working after 3.5months. Simore refused to replace it, stating that product carry 3 months warranty from date of manufacture!!! So, fair product from shitty company. Buying this product you trying your luck.

This review is no up to date. there's some companies that have created very good "smartphones". That's what we want to know.

I have a question dual sim my phone T22, how many message can the inbox handle???

cause I have a samsung D880 and it can only handle up to 200 message for both 2 sims card combine, and if you have a message that is too long it will be counted as two or three. so if example it is counted as 3, so for that single long message...you'll end up with 197.

the only solution is keep in deleting receive message after you read it.

I'm using chinese made TV22 dual sim phone which has camera, mp3, tv, radio etc., works very well but the drawback is battery which runs out soon. I purchased new 2 new batteries which last just 2-3 hours only. My original battery still runs 7-8 hours. I feel when this battery will stop charging, I will have to replace it with Samsung.
