Dual-SIMs mobiles in UK

chris-j

7 day shop do a basic dual sim phone for about £12.. Both sims active simultaneously and can select which one to use for outgoing calls or texts.
There are adaptors for lots of phones but most require some kind of switching with only one sim active at time which defeats purpose really imo.

Thanks chris-j - it doesn't seem to be there now. Thanks also to others for suggestions - all suggests it's not an easy quest!

What function do you need for dual sim phone?
The cheapest one would probably be Huawei

I'd like to recommend the Huawei G3512 mentioned above. (Although, I bought from Prepaymania instead, which was slightly cheaper.)

It definitely accepts 2 sim cards and can receive and make calls on either sim card. Incoming calls are automatic. Outgoing calls prompt you to select one of the sim cards, so you can choose which network/sim you are calling on. Of course, the screen is tiny but it is a phone and the primary function is to make calls!

Only quibble was the phone arrived set up for a foreign language - possibly Spanish but am uncertain. However, very easy to go through the menu and change it to English. Menu > 1 > 3 > English.

Hope that helps.
