The P-Plus 88 support dual sim and can work together.
The new bluetooth can work for both lines. Old version only support only the master sim card.

It is ok but of course in some areas there are still many improvements that needed to be done.

I have this one recently ( 2nd picture on the main page ), it is very usefull, no need to turn off your CP, additional menu will add at the last option as "Dual SIM Card"... but you only use 1 at the time... I only noticed that the battery life usage also increased.

Why would you want a dual SIM phone??? I have used dual access SIM cards successfully with both Telstra and Optus in Australia. These could be used in ANY Nokia or Motorola phone. The dual access SIM card is one SIM card with two services connected to it. You can easily switch between "personal" or "business" mode through the menu on the phone. The Telstra SIM allowed you to receive calls for both services but unfortunately the Optus SIM only received calls depending on the mode you were in.

well it sounds very intresting,but how will this idea affect battery life of the mobile phone if you are using two different opperates?because currently battery life on mobile phones are not what they use to be.

hi, I am sure u can use two cards simultaneity in the same network, but most of china dual sim card phones only support GSM900/1800MHZ, so if u locates at USA, maybe u cant use it. U can find many dual sim card phones at http://www.goldlink.cc/dual-si...e-c1907.html

hi there, i am currently importing these dual sim phones. They are great to say the least, 30 per cent of people now carry 2 phones, Un till about a month ago i was using 2 8800. Now i have 1 phone with two numbers active at the same time. 02 and orange. No need to turn the handset off.It great. see www.talktellmobiles.com

Don't expect big name companies like Nokia or SE to be coming up with dual-sim phones anytime soon. It's all about the money :) They'd rather sell you TWO phones instead of just one phone capable of handling and operating two sim cards. They won't care about convenience and such. :)

If only these china-made dual-sim phones improve their build quality and add more features (and hopefully, no longer questionable build quality, hehe), they could literally give these big guys a run for their money. :)

the dual simcard also quite well known in indonesia several years ago, but in my opinion it's useless coz only one simcard active...n it's only working for gsm network that time.
recently samsung indonesia release samsung W-579 here in indonesia...it's a dual mode gsm/cdma phone, 262k tft lcd, mp3player, touchscreen, flip model...but it's quite expensive here, almost Rp. 5.000.000 (almost US$550)
There are several more brand also made from china/korea/taiwan....coz here in indonesia people use more than one number now n usually one gsm n one cdma coz the gsm number they had for a quite long time that their relation known that number n use the cdma number for it's cheap price...:)

Dual SIM is old news here in the Philippines. It started way back the age of nokia 5110's and 3210's. I still have my dual SIM device working in perfect condition. Its a plus to have this in your old mobile phone. Imagine having a primary state-of-the-art phone and a secondary phone that has dual sim on it. A total of 3 lines in your pocket... COOL right?
