Dual Sim - How does it work?

syanide

Does anyone have the dual sim set up? I am curious how this works in practice. If you have 2 sims in the phone, are you able to receive calls on both numbers without having to change any settings? ie - is it like carrying two phones arround with you? I only want one sim to be the main sim for data, sending and calling out, but it would really handy to be able to receive calls on the other Sim as well.

Thanks

Yes, it works like you have 2 phones.
The only flaw is that you cannot set different ringtones for the different sims and that's a problem for me.
Anyway, it works well for the other stuff.

Ah, brilliant. So, how do you know which 'line' is calling?

Hey, I figured out a way that can possibly help differentiate the two lines. Up until now, I've had both sims on the same network - so both are identified as "vodafone uk". Nowmy work sim is only to receive calls, so I'm not precious about the price plan, so I have ordered another one from EE, so that way it will be easier to differentiate. I have noticed that when a call comes in, it tells on the top which SIM the call is coming in on.
