Dual Sim Phones for Business & Pleasure Urgent Question

[felixvanz@gmail.com]

I need a cell phone which can use two Sim Cards at the same time. I read up about it and I need a phone with Dual Sim Active capabilities.

This will allow me to take calls from my business number and private number at any time during the day without manually switching between them.

Does anybody have an idea where I can buy a phone like this. The staff at Cell C, Vodacom & MTN are all "deurmekaar":wtf: when it comes to cell phones with Dual Sim Active capabilities. Cell C & Kalahari does have Dual Sim phones but nobody knows if its Dual Sim Active or Dual Sim Standby.

Really desperate because to carry 2 cell phones is becoming a hassle.

I'm pretty sure that on all dual sim phones you assign the role of each sim card in the settings. I really don't think it'll have two sims active for voice at the same time but rather one for voice and one for data and then you can switch between them in settings. I speak under correction though.

Must it be a smartphone?

After hours and hours speaking to 20 different people on the phone, Cell C managed to help me. I told them exactly what I wanted and how it must work & they suggest the Sony Xperia C3.

Though the specs is ok, battery great and the 8mb camera is K@K it does what it is supposed to do. Cell C is my primary Sim and Vodacom is my secondary Sim, anyone can phone at any time to any of the numbers and it works. When I make a call or send a SMS I can just choose witch number to use. I can also choose which Sim card to use for Data

I also installed 2 WhatsApp’s on my phone by using “OGWhatsApp”.

Alibaba, antelife.com etc, all sell those. And some do work on both sims (voice), saw it work on a friends lenovo, can't say they work on all, but I think they will. I know on my tablet, the one sim is data only and the other one is for dialling.

Motorola moto g 2014. At Orange online store. About R2600. Brilliant little dual sim phone. And you can receive and make calls from both sims without switching in between

On eBay you can get Z3, G3, Note 4, S5 in dual sim.

Not dirt cheap, but all good phones.

Pretty sure they can all do voice on both sims.

So while sagren is resurrecting old threads, I might as well point people in this direction:

http://store.orange.com/za/mobile-phones/sim-free-phones/motorola-moto-g5-black-265670/

That's a Dual sim Motorola Moto G, Quad Core 1.2Ghz, 1GB RAM running Android Kitkat, upgradeable to Lollipop (I know, mine's been upgraded)... for only R2500.

If that's not value for money, I don't know what is.
