    Was just in a Cell C outlet to enquire about a duel sim.
    I was told that I can only have/use my data on one sim and not the other. I.e. One sim can make/recieve calls and use data, the other sim can only to make/recieve calls. Is this correct?

    Both sims should work for both data and voice, but unlike MTN only one sim can be switched on at any time!

    Have anyone tested this? Is it true?

    I got dual sim. Does not work the way we want it to. You cannot have them in 2cell phones at the same time. One must be switched off, else the last one switched on becomes the active one.

    Been waiting for cellc to change this for a while now. Not sure if they will. The only regret with porting to cellc. My mtn dual sim worked very well. One phone was primary which always rang first and if not answered it went to the secondary sim. One could use any phone or both simultaneously, and you were billed on the same account.

    The ringing part is not of IMPORTANCE to me. Just want 2 devices to be able to be on at the same time withthe second one being able to share the data package.....

    How hard can that be cellc?

    In response to above, both sim work perfectly for voice and data, its just that only one can be on.
