Can you use two SIMs simultaneously? One review says you can't and that's the primary purpose of a dual SIM.

Yes you can use two SIMs simultaneously. I have an AT&T and a Philippines SIM card in the phone and I can receive text and calls in both SIM without doing anything. It is dual active SIM card phone.

it's set for one simcard. If you are looking for a phone compatible with two simcards, check for phone with mention "dual sim cards".

In the Settings Menu you have the option to activate either SIM 1 or SIM 2, the SIM activated will be the SIM (phone number) you'll use until you choose to activate the other one. Even though it can hold 2 SIM cards at once you don't need two, if you have 1 ISM card you can still use this phone.

I can use two at once but haven't tried to use all 5 at once. Two work just fine during a call. I'd suspect all 5 will as well but can't say with certainty.

No you don't have to use TWO SIM CARD SLOTS. Right now I'm just using ONE SIM CARD SLOT, and it works perfectly.

I used a Activation kit, it had two sims card in it and I used the Big one. Call your service provider and they can walk you thru it if your having a hard time, I did. I used straight talk. and they were very helpful. Hope this help.

No need to restart, both SIMs are active so you may send/receive calls on any of them.

You just use your normal micro SIM in the primary slot, and use the second slot for the SIM for another number...either a second domestic number, or a foreign number. Bottom line: each SIM supports a different phone number/account.

No, it does not need to restart or do anything to switch between SIMs. Whenever you take any action -- make a call, send a text, etc. -- you simply select which SIM you wish to use. It's very simple and seamless. No trouble at all. I like the phone very much by the way.

No - No matter how i tried i could not get this to work simultaneously. In fact the second sim would register as available but when you dialled the number it would not ring on the phone. Disappointed and I have cut my losses and now only use the cover.

If you get one that is not defected meaning both sim slots work Yes both will work at the same time meaning you will have two sim cards in the phone at the same time but different numbers. You can receive calls and make calls from both you only switch from sim1 to sim2 each time you want to make calls its your choice now depending on what number you want to call from. It is very easy and nice if both sim cards are working but one of mine didn't work.

By more than one phone, do you mean having two or more users in the same house use the handset independently? Yes, you can do that. As far as something like having two or more cell phones connected at the same time, that I don't know, and I am not able to test as the handset is 1400 miles from my location. Hope that helps.

No, this is a single SIM model. There are dual SIM versions in some regions but not the US.

No, you just need one. :) It has a spot for two SIM cards but you only need one. I was confused about that as well.

You can only have one or the other on can't have both on at once. I have never seen one that can have both on at same time.

No.You don't have to have 2 sim cards before using the phone unless you wish to do so since the phone has dual sim.However, if you have 2 mobile careers that have sim cards compartible with the phone,you can put the 2 sim cards .
