Dual sim

JP1978

Note that on MOST dual sim phones, although you can get a data connection on both SIM's, it will only be on one at a time. This is known as Dual Standby.

If you wanted data on both, you need Dual Active. I dont think that any big brands make dual active handsets though.

You may ask, why would you need a dual active? Well, a Three SIM card wont work unless its the active SIM. Also, both SIMS in my S6 are with EE (personal and work). The work SIM is in the 2nd slot and is set as 2G only, so I have to rely on having a good 2G signal to use it - sadly, when driving its not the best. If i were to make the call from my own SIM (or make the work SIM the data SIM) the call holds up better as it can also use the 3G signal.

Why is your link to a different manufactures phone?

Because it has better spec and battery! "but for better specs and battery". Much more to pay too.
I have the P9000 and it does have dual sim capacity. However, if a micro sd memory expansion is needed then one of the sim locations is taken by the sd card.
