Hauwei P8 Lite Dual Sin Usage?

[cAfstA]

Hey peeps....

I'm looking at getting the above handset. I currently am using Afrihost data and am on the MTN network so am able to use one sim.

Telkom has this handset on a nice package but I would like to keep using my data via Afrihost. Is it at all possible that as this handset uses two sims, I could have both working simultaneously - one for my calls and the other for my Afrihost data. Can the handset be set up to work in this manner.

I ask this because as I understand it, if I'm on any other network besides MTN, I'll need to have a separate sim for my Afrihost data.

Your help greatly appreciated guys.

Hi cAfstA

The Huawei P8 Lite uses both nano and micro SIM card. Your you wish to use your SIM card you can provided its either a nano or micro SIM. If not you will need to perform a SIM swop with your service provided.

Yep you would need to get another sim if your voice packages are on any network besides mtn.

Ok I know I will need two sim cards but my question was whether I'd be able to use the Telkom sim for voice calls and then the MTN/Afrihost sim for my data at the same time.

Previous dual sim phones you had to choose which sim you wanted to use, either line 1 or line 2 thus me asking if this phone can use both sims simultaneously

Hi cAfstA

The phone uses both SIM. Yes you can use both Telkom and Afrihost SIM at the same time. You will need to select the dual SIM option on the phone settings to be able to use both SIMs at the same time.
