Hey There,
Great Post. Seems good to have people already sharing useful information like that.
As a personal request though. Your signature size is a bit unreasonable. Could you please consider resizing or doing something else about it?
Thankyou

I want one if the price difference isn't too bad.

dual sim card sounds interesting, I'd have no need for it though. lol deftone

If it has the same specs as the Note II this will be a dual sim 3G world phone. Are there any other Android dual sim 3G world phones out there?

I wouldn't have a need for one but I guess it could come in handy if i wanted to put a prepaid sim in it.

Maybe, look on Google for ROMs for a regular device with a dual-sim variant. For example, the Galaxy Pocket and the Pocket Duos. They have the same specs just like the Note 2 and the Note 2 Duos do so look to see if anybody has flashed a Pocket ROM on their Pocket Duos. If they did, then I guess it would work.I think you can probably find it in a couple of days. Or you could order from China Mobile, the carrier with the device, and have it ship to you.

Dual SIM Note 2 would be awesome for a backpacking holiday. Local SIM as primary, with home SIM as secondary with its super expensive roaming charges. Each time you change country just swap out the primary.
I wasn't sure about Note 2 vs Note 1 but with 64GB internal, 64GB SD, dual SIM and Seidio case with kick stand and holster it will be an iresistable killer combo
Adding decent GPS App with locally stored maps and an external range boosting antenna would make it the ultimate travel phone

Sounds Good!

does anyone know what dual sim entails? can you have 1 sim for mobile broadband (with telco provider a) and 1 sim for minutes, SMS (with a separate telco provider b)?
both reading at the same time. the note 2 knows which one to use and when? so you don't clock up data on the wrong sim, and calls and SMS on the other?
thanks

The "classical" Samsung DuoS phones (at least mine and others I had in hand) let you choose a primary card that is used for everything by default and a special button that allows you to choose the secondary SIM card before making a call or sending sms. Web connection and other services always run from the primary card. Changing the assignment of the primary card causes a reboot.
Both networks are actively receiving calls/sms.
How this one is (or would be) done is hard to tell, not many people had it in hand (if it really exists). Unfortunately, probably not many people ever will.
Personally, I need two networks, so I carry a "phablet" without SIM plus classical DualSIM phone. DuoS Note would be cool.

No, i don't think so.

so year 2012 and they can't even do what seems to be simple. one uses data, other using everything else. option in an app lets you choose what what simcard does? zzzz

AT&T sim card[answered:resolved]

I have AT&T service right now(not soon to change) and i want the n4. I was curious if anyone knew if i could just pass the simcard that holds my service to the n4 device and be happy or is there more i have to do?

You have to have the correct size SIM card (the N4 uses micro SIM). If you don't have the correct size, then you can just go to an AT&T store and ask them to swap you out with the size you need. It should be free.

Who's attempting for 2 sims and a sd card together hack ??

All must be aware that S7 is capable of using 2 sims as well as Micro sd card at same time as demonstrated by user at
http://bgr.com/2016/03/24/galaxy-s7-tricks-dual-sim-microsd/
Any one successfully did this hack ??
Or going to attempt??

Little risky but gonna try sometime.
One pro-tip: To save your battery usage its recommended to use one sim as battery drain will be significantly much faster with 2 active sim cards. But that's just me.

I just did it on my SM-G935FD (S7 Edge dual sim). Works well so far.
see my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/insert-2-nano-sim-micro-sd-card-t3342709

Hmm is the S7 used different from the 'normal' G935F? I thought there are different types with dual sim and without... i also do not have a tray with dual sim. But i wonder if i could buy a tray and have dual sim. Stupid question maybe, but the link does not refer to a basic dual sim s7 edition. They just write s7.

Do the 2 trays have the exact same size and be inserted in any S7 edge phones? Cause I'm in Europe so my tray can't accept 2 simcards at all, it's 1 simcard and 1 sdcard.
Cause if they are of the exact same size, I'd like to try and buy one and try this

The user dbux stated that the problem is not the tray, but the phone. According to his point of view, only FD models have pins for the second sim. I'm very confused!!

Obviously you need the dual sim fd model to try this, they're only sold in asia. Dont try anything.

Not sure what the confusion is, this can only be done on dual sim fd phones.

@peachpuff
We know that this can only be done on dual sim fd phones. Vivelafrance and I would like to do a different thing. What? We would like to insert the tray of FD model in F model to see if F model read two sim cards.

Then modify the sim tray with a knife so a nano sim fits in the sd slot, still don't think it'll work though.

2nd Sim Card Slot

Are there any US carriers whose Sim card will fit in 2nd Sim card slot? AT&T and T-Mobile don't fit.

Why don't they fit? Both sim slots have the same network bands.

The US variants (included the unlocked models) are NOT dual sim devices.

Neither has a card the same size as the slot. Either too big or too small.

I have dual SIM. Att sim fits in both slots. Perhaps you have the wrong type of sim.

I would doubt the tray is because on the dual sim tray the same size card fits in both slots
So either you have the wrong tray.. Or you have a single sim phone

That's the clue right there.
On the box you will see two IMEIs.
Mine has DUOS on the box as well.
The tray for DUOS can accept dual sim cards or a single sim and microSD card.
With 1TB storage the need for the microSD is moot except perhaps if the need to transfer a lot of data.
For most transfers, wifi5 and airdroid suffice.

Can't really tell if you are being sarcastic or genuinely trying to be helpful. But yes it is a dual SIM card model, it has 2 imei #, under setting it shows the empty 2nd Sim card. No card fits in it. I'd accept it was my not knowing how to put a Sim card in a phone, even though my S8+ was also a dual sim model, if I hadn't been to both AT&T and T-Mobile stores and no one could make it work. Really glad you got yours to, but it doesn't fit in my device.

Calm down man. People here are trying to help you. Since almost no one here has ever had problem inserting sim card, and you don't tell us much about the detail, we then assume you have single sim variant, wrong sim tray, etc.
It would be a lot easier if you just take a picture of your sim card tray and post in here so we all can understand what really happen.
If you cannot post picture or whatever other reasons, just cut the sim card to make it fit. I used to cut many normal sims to micro sims and micro sims to nano sims in the past (nowadays, all operators in my country make 3 in 1 sim cards that I can pop out whatever size I wanted).
However, I am absolutelyx3 certain that nano sim fits S10 second sim slot.

The sim type for both is the same. So if your card does not fit in slot 2 I can only assume the wrong sim carrier has been supplied
I would either goto a Samsung experience store or talk to the supplier of the phone and advise them and try to get another sim carrier from them
But there is certainly no need for a different type of sim

Amazon. Pretty sure it's the right tray. The slot says microSD/Sim 2. Will take the advice of previous post and take it to a Samsung store. Not a huge deal it was just convenient to have 1 phone instead of 2 since I work on sales and have customers calling all the time

Correct, nobody has figured out a way to do it yet. It's possible we never will depending on if the X55 modem will ever play nicely. Nobody has been able to manage to boot the International 7T Pro ROM either, which could be a first step.

I have found people using dual SIMs on the OnePlus 7T. I think you just have to get SIM unlocked from T-Mobile then buy a dual SIM card tray.

Sadly, it's more involved than that. It normally involves switching to the international variant of OxygenOS. The problem: this device is a T-Mobile exclusive, which means there's no variant of the software that'll allow dual SIM without a custom ROM.
