Dual SIM review: Mobiles go two-in-one
Using two SIM cards in one phone is increasingly becoming an option that people are willing to consider. Using both a personal and a business number with one single handset, saving some money by combining two different plans or network carriers...

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.

Since we are all on dual-sim 'revolution' now, anyone out there ever thot of starting the tri-sim 'paradigm-shift'? With all these talks of 'world is smaller than u think','globalisation' and 'environmental-friendliness' just as well make it quad-sim. Dont laff, I am an expatriate working in a country that requires dual-sim and in my home country, a dual-sim option is not that far-fetched either.Think CREDIT CARD.Let the consumers dictate what they want.Look, with the amount of R&D required to develop dual-sim, it only makes sense to take the initiative and lead the way.I am sure a leading manufacturer would see the viability of these.

Sprint advertises that they offer "alternate line service" which is one phone with 2 lines,one for business,one for personal.They even seperate the bill. Has anyone heard of this and if so how do they do it?

By the way, true dual sim phones (ones where both sims are on standby and you can receive calls / SMS from both anytime) are just a few months old. The dual sims that guys are talking about that had been around in the Philippines for years are just dual sim HOLDERS or dual sim ADAPTERS, wherein you still need to switch between sims and therefore cannot receive calls / SMS from both anytime. Also, those holders / adapters compromise the phone where they are installed.

If you guys are waiting for the big companies to start producing dual sim phones... It'll never happen. If ever it does, it's a loooong time from now. The reason is that they get a LOT of pressure from all the carriers around the world. Do you really think Globe would want Nokia to start producing phones that can hold both Smart and Globe sims? And believe me, these carriers have a huge hold on the top mobile phone manufacturers.
For those who are apprehensive regarding buying phones manufactured in China, I can tell you from experience (I work in an electronics company who sometimes outsources from the Chinese) that Chinese engineering skills and workmanship can range from awful to truly excellent. So, all you need to do is get a little info on the track record of the manufacturer of your target phone so you can make sure of the quality. One drawback though is that regardless of product quality, the manual will be near useless. Leave it to the Chinese to produce English manuals and you'll end up with funny results.

I had a dual sim phone, it had no brand on it which was sought of fishy yo me, then after two weeks it started giving trouble so i got it changed and in three days it started dropping my calls and the videos were sticking, i think the dual sim set starts to spoil the fun honestly...... This is not a good idea

It is really a practically Great Idea, you Have 2LINES, 1PHONE. This is really convenient and avoid the hustle of bringing 2 phones.
I have C828/K880 dual Active SIM with TV and FM Radio for Sale at P8500. If you are interested, sms/call me at +639285042942/+639233503499.
When you have a call on both phones at the same time, it has a Call waiting feature, which allows you to receive both calls, of course, if you want to talk to the other party, you should put him on Stand-by and return to the other party.
Isn't it Great?
