I have a local regular (mini?) sim card in there now, but it has slots for two sim cards. I'm also using a thumb drive that I load 'time' onto for my internet here in the Philippines. The thumb drive uses a sim card as well, it encases a micro sim card, which I have to insert into the cellphone to receive the load, so long story short, I guess it takes both. Hope that wasn't too confusing!

It has two SIM cards so that you can use another service provider when you travel in foreign countries. Prepaid SIM cards are usually available in foreign airports. You will have a working phone without incurring roaming charges. You don't have to go through the trouble of switching SIM cards which can easily be lost or to carry two phones. I do not know how to lock the outside buttons.

You don't need to use 2 sim card. One is Ok to run the phone. I'm not sure whether you can use straight talk. If straight talk has a android app, then you can run it. Also, you'd better buy a micro sd card since the memory of the phone is very small.

no. I had this same question when I bought the phone. It is a really amazing phone. the 2 sims card holder the phone comes with is incase you would like to have 2 different phone numbers on the phone. Remember that per sims card is a phone number. If you so choose to have 2 sim cards then your phone will have 2 different phone numbers. To answer your question specifically, you only need one sim card. The single card will hold you number.

No...Dual sim cards are used for two service that you can use at the same time for example you can put a At&t; sim and a T-mobile and you can switch back .yes it would also mean you have two numbers..another example Dual sim cards lets suppose you travel to London from New York..Dual sim ...you can leave your london O2 sim card and put a At&t; card sim card and have 2 cellphone service that way you can use it in two country's .Again Dual sim allows you to use sim cards by switching from sim 1 to sim 2 ... I hope this helps take care..

Dual SIM feature allows you to operate 2 separate phone numbers from the same hardware. They are both usually active to receive call. Of cause you can only answer one line at a time.

Hi First you have to have a plan by AT&T; or T-Mobile or Verizon. You can only use one of their sim cards. Check your plan first.
