If not...can you please take a look to this specs and let me know your opinion.
Thank you guys!

From what i know, dual-sim will only work in China, since at least one sim will work only in TD-SCDMA (not GSM/WCDMA available worldwide)

Hi Florin,

I just bought a Huawei P6 C-00 Dual Sim from China. Just this moment, only one slot work. it is the GSM slot. But the CDMA SIM slot is locked by China Telecom! I still looking for solutions to unlock this slot!

So, i think that is only for Chineese people! I am not lucky!

Hello guys!
I just bought a simfree htc one x in amazon-japan.
i tried to insert my simcard but it always says no service.
i think it's because it is simfree and it's only applicable in UK.
(I don't have any idea about simfree. I just wanted to have the phone so badly.)
is there a way i can use this phone or should i sell it?
I hope you can help me.
Thank you very much.
are u using an aws sim card？

Thank you sir for your reply.
No, what i bought is the UK version and not the japanese htc one x.
I tried inserting a softbank sim card and it works fine now, but softbank is a W-CDMA (UMTS 3G) network.
some people say that "simfree" phones does not support GSM bands,
but i live in a country that all network providers use GSM networks. (I'm in japan only for a business trip)
can i use this phone in my country? because i'm really going to sell this phone if not.
It is defibitely a gsm phone. it should support any gsm sim cards , rest assured

I have been looking for a dual SIM mobile phone and decided to have a look at P6 . Ive not yet had chance to have a play with it , but when I watch a review on youtube I noticed that it appears that the P6 does not have physical home / back buttons*but they are instead shown on the screen , which to my mind uses up some of the screen area . *I was wondering if its possible to some how to not show that area when not required
I really like the thought of physical home /back buttons that light up on a phone .*

There are several possibilities to hide the navigation bar if you don't need it.
i.e. here
Yes you can hide it and also use floating navigation button instead. But anyway you should wait and buy the P7 which is getting released tomorrow.
Thanks for the advice guy's :good:
I can't see any mention that the P7 will have a Dual SIM Option ?
any links please
If you want use P6 dual SIM outside China, you can't use second SIM slot which is locked for China CDMA provider.
In fact P6 - C00 is CDMA phone and in Europe for example it will work only on GSM network.

P7 could probably have dual sim without being locked for China. See the table here: http://www.huaweiblog.de/handys/huawei-ascend-p7-uebersicht-der-versionen/

That is not true, and I will explane why!
Thaimobile center have made some mistakes.
1. Dual SIM version don't have SD card slot, it has second SIM slot insted SD slot.
2. Dual SIM version has a 16 GB of internal memory insted of 8 GB on the one SIM version.
HUAWEI Ascend P6 has only three models and they are:
1. P6-U06 Unicom version - GSM / WCDMA networks, one SIM and slot for SD card, metal case;
2. P6-T00 Mobile version - GSM / TD-SCDMA networks, one SIM adn slot for SD, metal case;
3. P6-C00 Telecom version - GSM / CDMA networks, dual SIM, without SD slot, plastic case with metal frame;

Thanks for the information :good:
Just looking at some more Thai web sites it does seem that they are using the same misleading specifications , here's an example
http://www.shopat7.com/mobile/huawei/ascend-p6-white.html
I would be upset if I purchased a P6 after looking at the specification on that web site only to find its not true
Dont take risk and buy from not so well known dealers. There are also fake p6 with mediatek chips being sold.
Hello,
I been looking for the perfect LG G3 Dual Sim model in terms of Specs..
and since i found more than one model.. D856 , D857, D858 and D859
can anyone help me figure out what is are the differences among them ?
thank u
Hi
I've just ordered the D856 which for me (being based in the UK) is the better option considering that includes the LTE 800 band. I know the D858 does not include this band but I'm not entirely sure about the other two variants.

Hi c1181427,
I'm interested in getting a dual sim LG G3, also based in the UK. I'm currently on Vodafone so the D856 would be the ideal version. Can I ask where you ordered your D856 from?
Thanks in advance,

D858HK would work fine on Vodafone as well as it has band 2600 which is LTE+ used by Vodafone UK
Hi.I got mine from a website called from.ae they are based in UAE and the phone was delivered in five days.
Tbh I still haven't worked out the difference between the d856 and d858
One thing I noticed is that on mine there's barely any LG app installed (I think 2) which is surprising coming from a Samsung s4...Not sure if this is standard on LG phones or it's just this version

Hi c1181427,
Thanks for the info, I'll look into it now. Did you have to pay any customs on the phone?
Samsul,
Thanks but I live in Aberdeen, and work just outside the city. The 800mhz frequency already has poor coverage and so I don't even want to think about how little I will see 4G speeds if I am restricted to only the 2600mhz frequency. I'm not actually sure the 2600mhz frequency is in operation here anyway.

hi guys, my D856 has no LG apps pre-installed and it came with Google Play already installed. is this the case with the other dual sim variants too?
how much free RAM do you get on your G3's?

Hi guys, I bought a 858HK and it does not have the 800Mhz for 4G in UK
I also got slapped on import duty by £80
so the phone cost me £460
I am willing to sell if anyone wants it
Its a beautiful phone, very fast, the DUAL SIM is essential for work and personal and it comes with some LG apps that are much better than all my previous HTC phones
I've also had to pay £80 import duty but luckily the phone cost me a bit less
I was also hoping to get LTE 800 with my D856 (as advertized in the official LG spec sheet) but nothing...luckily LTE still works with my 3 UK SIM

Not sure if that's the case...
Got one 858HK yesterday, and so far it doesn't want to do 4G on my Vodafone UK SIM even though it does 2600MHz.
Spoken to Vodafone support and the lady who did not have much clue about the subject, could not confirm if vodafone uses both 800 and 2600, she was saying that in the UK it is only 800Mhz for LTE which is a bit odd and doesn't tie up with information provided here:
Code:
http://www.4g.co.uk/4g-frequencies-uk-need-know/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodafone_UK
On the wikipedia it says "LTE Advance" any body has an idea what that is?
The other thing is that the phone could be faulty as well. Need to try the EE SIM somewhere as that should be on 1800 and 2600Mhz.......
Edit: Apparently Voda UK does 2.6GHz in big agglomerations such as London, Birmingham, Manchester.... (this is not officially confirmed)
what is the difference aside from dual sim and single sim? thanks in advance coz im planning to buy.. im here in UAE but some store only have the dual sim variant

Two pins for wireless charging missing in dual sim that are present in single sim.
This means no wireless charging is possible at all with dual sim.

Hi! My parents are now in Abu Dhabi, could you find the LG H815?? It would be great if you could give me some directions.
Or, maybe, buy H818 and change LTE bands, is that possible?
Thanks in advance!
they differ only in:
Dual Sim not supported wireless Charger

Hi all,
I need to know the availability of the Xperia M5 Dual SiM in France (Model E5633), because in France 4G LTE use currently 800 Mhz / 1800 Mhz / 2600 Mhz bands. As i can seee, only the model E5633 hold 800 Mhz 4G band.
Others model use 850 Mhz band instead 800. It depend of the country area.
Thanks for your reply.
Available here in Finland. And while I'm somehow interested about this phone, I'd like to know if we already know if those serious problems which almost
all M5-users seem to have are only software-based(so they can be cured with updates) or from hardware, and that would mean that M5 is doomed.

Actually theres a hardware problem. The battery causes the phone to die. Check this
Just got my M5 dual sim variant last week in South Africa.
The single sim version became available in Greece. Don't know if the auto shut down problem is fixed. I assume it is. Waiting for the dual sim version...

I got my dual sim variant in January and havent experienced the auto shutdown problem. There has been one big update since I got it, so I reckon its been fixed.
I have a dual sim version bought in France. For the moment, I also never experienced the auto shut down problem.
