Is It Worth Me Buying A

Dual sim phone ?

Are they easy to use ?

Only if you need a dual sim, and yes they're easy, you can set data to one sim and calls/texts to the other, switch on and off on the fly, on mine I could assign colours and change names too

It saves you carrying two phones. Many employees are given a work phone and a dual sim model would certainly solve the problem of having two handsets, but it would also mean that your employer 'owns' the phone. The bottom line is that if you only have one number, dual sim makes no sense.

@mrbond007 3 are getting the xaomi redmi a6 dual sim unlocked and they i think come with a band like watch for £109.99 including £10 credit.you can see it on 3 website or have you seen something cheaper and maybe better.

mrbond007

Cheaper but probably not better,it's not a smartphone either

But I thought maybe useful in foreign countries as I can just buy a local sim to use there

I have Samsung Galaxy S9+ Dual Sim .. and find it very simple to use .. easy to switch between either sim ...if I can do it .... anyone can lol

I use one, can't imagine going back to a single SIM phone, very useful when abroad.

@mrbond007 i have a dual sim phone and its 2g one slot giffgaff the other slot o2 works great for calls as that's all I make.

I didn't know you can get dual sim phones

If you only want it for calls then quite possibly yes.

I've had a few of them but find it a pain that most now only do data on the one sim, so I've still usually found myself carrying 2 phones.

I did have a cheap blackview for a while that had data on both. A much more practical setup for me, but unfortunately other things about the phone made me ditch it in the end.

Hi @mrbond007,

I bought my WileyFox 2 years ago for use with a personal and company SIM. Still works well with 32Gb of on board memory and access to cloud storage through the business SIM to store all those pix & files.

Dual SIM is very useful abroad too if you buy a foreign SIM too which can often work out cheaper for data depending on location.

May be worth waiting for Black Friday deals.

Good luck if you do

I'd say yes...2 in 1 dual sim phone.

I'm not sure...

Had them for years can't beat them, I did have a Three sim along side my GG sim but the signal was eratic so now I have an O2 sim and it's better than the GG signal.

O bought a dual SIM phone 2 years ago and still use it as my daily, thing is I've always only used one sim....lol

mrbond007

Very interesting stuff thanks guys

Now it leads me to ask which phone is best then?

baconbutty

Xiaomi redmi 6 from Three, £109

I think it'll be the 3GB ram version
