why does sim 2 not work in North America? I want a phone with dual sim for two lines in one phone.

coz SIM2 supports Asian bands only. Samsung lied on the specs and changed the advertised specs a few months after the phone was released.

JESS is asking whether it had DUAL SIM, i.e. two slots for SIM cards so that it can automatically switch. The answer is that it doesn't but that is not a problem, you simply have to take the back off, take out the battery and replace the existing SIM when you want to use a different SIM abroad.

Mine takes one regular size SIM card (even though there are 2 slots) for both domestic and international calls. When you log on it the menu choice appears: North America or Rest of the World

It is a dual sim so both sim can be in at the same time in different slots. Dial the number u are calling and it would ask which sim, sim 1 or sim 2. Select your required sim and that is it.

you can have 2 lines one for business one personal or if you travel to other countries you can use 2nd slot to put local sim

Dual sim phones don't 'need' two cards, they run fine on one. They allow you to have two numbers / accounts (one per sim) on one phone (Business & Personal, US & Int'l, etc.) You can mix and match carriers on unlocked phones. Make sure you order the proper size sim card for your phone, although it is possible to trim larger sims to the smaller sizes by hand or with a sim punch.

Hello:Dual aim card phones are made for people who want to use to sim card from differnt provider in 1 phone at the same time. So you will nees two sim card. There is not such thing as dual sim card.

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 used it in Africa (Tanzania) just this past September. It's all about your service provider, not the 3g phone specifically. And I didn't change out sims. Just called AT&T; before I left and added int'" calls/text for a fee (temporary). Dropped the intl service as soon as i returned to the states

Dear Customer, Thanks for your interest on this phone. You do not need 2 SIM Cards . This model works anywhere in the world if you use a GSM carrier. Please check if your carrier supports GSM technology. NOTE: Unlocked phones are not yet programmed for any network. In order to access the internet and use multimedia messages, you will need to program the phone according to your carrier. We have instructions for AT&T and T-Mobile (USA only). We look forward on having you as a customer. Thanks, Gus 24hrsDeals

The way it was explained to me is one SIM slot is just the GSM bands and the second SIM slot has both GSM and HSPA+ bands. This same person told me, at T-Mobile, that I had to have one GSM SIM for phone and text and the other would be for data. So this is what I was told this is what the dual SIM slots are about, but truthfully I do not know except the N9002 if extremely popular and sell a lot of them. By the way he never got my data to work and finally I too my phones to another T-Mobile store where the guy said, ""why do you have two SIMs?" After he took out the GSM SIM card out the phone's data worked ever since. so like I said I'm really not sure only that lots of people want the N9002.

No, this is a draw back of this phone. also duel sims only one can be used if you want good connection to server. if you have two sim cards in the phone is very slow and signals are weak. i only use one sim and works ok. not the reason i bought but it works.

It can use 2 sim cards at once. It works fine with just one though. It is supposed to be able to work worldwide but we haven't tried it yet.

Try to read the posts and reviews of people that purchased the phone before. I had a global sim put in. And it said roaming. The activation required message still shows on top. I will suggest you read the solution to your problem from the reviews after you tried just to make a regular call if it did not work. It is a very nice 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".

Yes, this phone is a DUAL SIM phone, but different from the others because it uses a MINI SIM card and a MICRO SIM card. This is not a problem, when you get the SIM cards from your carrier just inquire about this sizes, if you currently have 2 SIM cards of the same size, you only have to ask your carrier for the exchange. You can also use only one SIM instead of 2.
