Asus Zen 2 and H2O

Does anyone have the Asus Zenfone 2 coupled with H2O?
I just bought the Zen 2 and H2O couldn't activate my acct. I bought 2 new Sims and both don't work. I used my other phone and the same Sim card activated.
Asus and H2O were on the list as MNVO's would work together. That's why i bought it.
I'm in the U.S. and bought my phone at Amazon.

I have my Zenfone working with H2O. I use it in Sim2. I had the sim card before I got this phone though, so it was originally activated with my Nexus 5.

Man, i should have tried seeing if slot two works on my new phone. I realize slot 2 doesn't give you the same as slot 1, but i would tale slot 2 if it still gave me 3 G+.
Not sure it would work, and i don't want to lose my old phone. But if i knew the Asus Zenfone 2 would work in slot 2, i'd be fine with that.
According to the Sim slots, slot 2 is only 2G? Why couldn't it be at least 3 G?

Did you try calling H20?

Try this it will save you the trouble of dealing with H20 and it works

This is all you need for LTE and phone service

Well, i called them yesterday trying to activate the new phone. They couldn't and i reverted back to my old phone with the same Sim. I ordered a couple of more Sims and they should be here any day now.
Once i get the new Sims i'll do a live Chat again and see if inserting the new Sim in slot B will work.
But i bought the Asus Zen 2 not as a 2 G, but as a 3 G+ and 4 G LTE.
I also e-mail John Lu from Asus and told him about my situation. Still waiting to hear from him.

Off of my ZenFone 2 I called H20 and we set up my phone because I had no data because default setup is ATT Phone which doesn't work but this setup gives you LTE

I just received an e-mail from Asus asking me what band they are using.
Then he said "If the band it provided could not meet this phone's spec, it won't get lte or 3g signal actually.
OK, here are the settings for manual with H2O:
Description Value
Proxy Gateway IP Address proxy.mvno.H2OMobileweb.com 66.209.11.33

H20 uses the AT&T network and if you have the correct settings you will have LTE it says 4G but it is LTE

My new Sim cards came today. I will try chat again and see if the new Sims work, if not, should i give the chat person the settings you used or should i do it manually. Actually, i just realized they are Smart Sim cards, which i hear, at least according to the website, makes configuration much easier.
I'm still on my old phone, don't want to lose my old phone until these new Sim cards work on my new phone.

I have a couple of new Smart Sims cards. It's supposed to automatically configure the settings.
My current phone is connected to H2O, how do i just use the Smart Sim in my new phone if the #'s are the same? Obviously i want the new Sim in my new phone, does my old phone automatically become deactivated?

the screen is from:
settings > more > cellular networks > access point names > access point names
then add the apn, following the picture provided by vegasdiceshooter.
I can confirm that this apn works with H2O/ASUS Zenfone 64gb unlocked version.
Notice where things are "0" and not "O" in the picture - I did it wrong the first time.
Thanks you

Can't send/receive mms on sim 2 with Rogers/Fido

I set up the phone (2 GB ram, 16 GB storage) for a relative and it works perfectly for voice calls on sim 2 (Rogers/2g) and data on sim 1 (HSPA). Thephone is running the latest stock ROM, no root, locked bootloader.
Receiving mms via the Rogers sim on a Samsung Note 2 works perfectly but mms does not come through on the Zenfone2. Data is enabled on both sim cards and I could find no way to have separate APN settings for each sim.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Unfortunately, I don't have the phone in front of me so I can't play with the settings. I looked at the online manual and it looks like the Rogers sim card is limited to text messages while in sim slot 2.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks.

The phone will only use internet from sim1. MMS uses the internet to send/receive images and text so you can't send or receive on sim 2. Calls and txt will still work though...

Yes, SIM 2 on the Zenfone 2 is limited to only voice and messaging. Some of the newer Zenfone 2 models allow for 4G on both SIMs, but not the original ZF2

Guess my relative will be receiving pictures via email or iCloud. Thanks for the information.

dual sim standby - both 3g/4g ?

So I've read in a few reviews it's a dual sim standby (both sims are in standby for a phone call) and both of them are capable of 3g/4g at the same time?
anyone know?
reason I ask is in my country the 2g bands are closed so can't use any other dual sim phone (all of them force second sim to be on 2g)

I don't think both of them are capable of 4G for the simple reason 2 SIM from 2 different network providers = 2 IP address, and you need to know it's complex to make usable 2 IP address in the same time (MPTCP).
Then like on the OnePlus 2, you can only use one SIM for data and the other for phone calls/SMS/MMS in the same time.

The only phone that I am aware that is able to do 4g on one sim and 3g on the other is the mi5.
I am also keen to know if we can do the same on the one plus 3. I live in Singapore and 2g will be deactivated soon.
Sent from my X9009 using XDA-Developers mobile app

I'm not expecting the phone to use data on both. i'm more concerend about just being on standby for phone/msg on 3g (or 4 if possible). Like using your phone blocking data on the second sim. I don't see why it's so technologically hard. 2g is soon to be gone evrywhere

I have tested Mi5Pro and it have first sim 2G/3G/4G and the second sim 2G/3G simultaneously (dual sim stand-by).
I have read in a review than OP3 also. I will receive mine next monday, i will test ...

thanks a lot. anyone else can confirm ?

I can confirm .. i have received my op3 yesteday and it is 2G/3G/4G on sim1 and 2G/3G on sim2 simultaneously. Sim2 is only for calls and messages.
Like OP2 and other phones, it is possible to swap sims and in this case, sim2 is 2G/3G/4G with data and sim1 only 2G/3G for calls and messages.
I confirm also that op3 is dual sim stand-by and not dual sim active.

So your SIM 1 is on 4G/LTE and SIM 2 can receive calls and text in 3G mode?

Yes but when call is made on SIM2, data on SIM1 is interrupted (dual stand-by)

Is this by design? That seems like a very frustrating limitation. I would be okay with data services flipping over to SIM2 while on the phone there.
I also seem to have a problem of the OP3 kicking down from LTE to HSPA when I make a phone call.
Any ideas?

Yes, it is designed like this, like all dual sim except Asus ZenFone 2, Galaxy S4 Duo and few other models.
LTE networks has not "phone circuits" and call are made in 3G (phone connect in HSPA during call). This is for all LTE phones.
LTE calls are possible with VoLTE protocol witch is IP voice communications and not voice circuit.
For using VoLTE, the phone need compatible with this protocol AND operators needs to activate this functionality.

While you are using data on SIM1, will an incoming call on SIM2 ring on the phone or will the call be treated as though the phone is off-network and be directed to voicemail?

incoming call on SIM2 will ring.
Both the SIMS can receive calls no matter which of them are used for mobile data.

It is dual sim standby and both the sims are in standby for a phone call. Both of them are capable of 4G/3G/2G but NOT at the same time. 4G can be used only in one sim slot at a time. It can be set by going to settings > SIM cards> Preferred SIM for Cellular data. Whichever SIM you choose here will have 4G option. It can be changed from settings>Cellular networks > your SIM card > Preferred network type. (4G or 3G or 2G). The other SIM can have either 3G or 2G but there is no option to choose it. The only way is to click on 'Network operators' option from Cellular networks menu and choose a 2G or 3G service. Hope it helps.

I get 4g on each sim but you have to pick one for data but both are 4g

So if I have 2 sims, one for calls with 6gb 4g and one for data with 15gb 4g, when I finish the 6gb on 1st sim I can switch the data to the other sim via software? Thanks

Your right you can

This is true, but you can also add to the list of "Dual Active" phones all Huawei premium phones:
Mate 7, Mate 8, Honor 6, and probably Honor 7 and 8.
They all have DUAL ACTIVE SIM CARDS, which means that you can have a call on SIM-1 and get a waiting call on SIM-2, then you can answer the call and swap between the two active calls!! I even tried calling SIM-1 from SIM-2 and it was actually ringing!!
Also more importantly, when using data on SIM-1, you can make or receive a call on SIM-2 without interrupting data.
That's pretty amazing, but with a major drawback (at least for me, it is): 3G/4G service is only accessible on SIM-1 slot!! The SIM card in slot-2 will always be 2G and would never ever access 3G/4G networks
This is bad because I travel a lot, and I always need to be able to switch data from SIM-1 to SIM-2 and vice versa. The only option I have is to physically swap SIM cards between slots, which actually ruins the whole concept of having DUAL SIM mobile
My guess is that they are actually using two separate modems, each one is dedicated to one of the two SIM slots, and only one of them supports 3G/4G connectivity.

so, you are saying that both sims are 3G/4G capable, but can be used for data one at a time, and can be switched anytime via settings ?

I have a questión, so if a dual sim phone have 3g/4g capabilities on both sims, is there a way to make like a failover setup such as if sim1 looses data the phone switches to sim2 data automatically and viceversa?

I have problem in my one plus 3 network issues both SIM are not working properly both SIM search for network frequently when I switched data no network can anyone give solution I tried all rebooting, factory reset, searching network manually.

A3000 support dual sim?

I was thinking about buy an Oneplus 3 A3000 model. Does anyone know A3000 support dual sim. Does it has 2 separate imei numbers?
Thank you!

Yup, dual SIM and different IMEI numbers for each slot.

You should be able to.

i think it has u choose, u can use sim 1 to make/receive calls/text and sim2 for data, i am not sure if u can have calls on both

You have a primary there is an option to make calls with the secondary if you want.

i have a dual sim setup. i have tried to make a call from sim one. connect to a land line, then from another cell phone call sim two..call on sim 2 goes to voicemail
sim one is my primary number so i set it up to call out from there and make me choose before a call goes out.
when a call comes it, it will tell you sim 1 or 2. you can also label the sim cards now in the latest update.
you can set sim 1 to be data and text, sim 2 can then only do data. one sim card with data at a time.
this works perfect for me since personal phone gets text/calls/data and work line gets only texts and calls.
cool things, textra app can differentiate between sim1 and 2. lets you choose which one to send out from.
i would like it to have different ring tones for each line, but right now i super fine with only carrying ONE awesome phone instead of having to buy another smart phone for work. i would have been carrying around my personal android and then company issued stupid iphone. eeewww, the thought of being a wall hugger with the iphone.
ask me any more questions about dual sim.

i too have a personal and a work phone. dual sim phones are awesome. i currently have a dual s7. i'm thinking about switching to the OP3 because it has 3g on both sim cards and doesn't limit me to 2g on one of the sim cards. my current set up is:
sim 1: 2g - calls and texts (ATT)
sim 2: 2g/3g/4g - calls, text, data (TMO)
it has a sim manager built in so you can switch this at any moment. i can receive calls and text from both sims throughout the day. Is that the case on the OnePlus3?

I am having a problem. I have 2 sims. One for data and one for calls / sms.
I noticed that if the phone just sits there(asleep), calls don't come through. I will get a voicemail notification.
Even tried calling the phone myself. Goes straight to voicemail. If the phone is awake, calls go through no problem.
I have reversed the sims and same problem.
Any ideas. Does doze maybe have anything to do with this?

I do the following,
Sim 1 T-Mobile LTE, text, data, voice
Sim 2 T-Mobile text and voice, turned off data
My settings are sim 1 data, sim 2 text
Calls come in on both lines when ever and how ever. I found that if I didn't set sim 2 to text. Calls and texts didn't work for some reason.
I do have backup data on sim 2 of 2gb.

Any updates on this behavior with latest fw updates? I'm getting a OP3 and will be using dual sim setup. Do I need to get a 3rd party dialer to select which sim to call from, associate certain contacts with certain outgoing calls/sim? I've read about several 3rd party apps for this, but hoping OP3 already has this functionality.

i bought this phone because of dual sim about 3 months before i needed it. Had a second SIM for the last 2.5 months
Well let me tell you, i got the job i was going for, exactly 10 days ago.
It is awesome, i figured out my setting finally. I have it set now for calls to go out to default to SIM1, texts to default of SIM1.
Changed to PROPER network on SIM1, tmobile has a few to choose like fast.tmobile, (e) something or another. i set it to fast.tmobile.
Your dailer will know. you can choose 1 or 2 SIM. Stock, downloaded apps, everything will know. I really like using true caller app now because of this. I now have a potential DOUBLE amount of spam calls!
As with text apps, i like to use textra for one main reason. Delayed text sending. using stock app, i sent MANY texts using the WRONG SIM by accident. I set my delay to 5 seconds.
I set my sim card 1 to be blue, sim card 2 to be red. so the dailer comes up red or blue depending on the sim getting called.
I do wish i can get different ring tones on 2 sim lines. Only custom roms can do that BUT i like to have WORKING bluetooth and Android Auto. So far i have tried Ressurection Remix, both official and the other one floating around. No good when it comes to Android Auto AND working bluetooth. Freedom OS doesnt have different ring tones for dual sims. If you find one that works please let me know!

Verizon branded note 8 on straight talk, can't receive text or voicemail notification

Extremely looooong story short. 3 Sim cards later from straight talk, no help from their tech department beyond factory resets and/or it's Verizon's fault.
I can't receive texts of any kind, but can send them. No voicemail notifications. I put my wife's sim card in the phone from her s8+ (tracfone splash screen but Verizon branding?).....And it receives texts just fine. My sim in her phone same problem...Not receiving texts. Data and voice work fine. I assume it's bum sim cards? Please help!

Also....forgot to mention .....with a previous sim card they had sent me last week I was out and about and all of my missed text messages came pooling in all at once. Then later on they quit working again. I live in a very well covered area so I can't imagine it has to do with towers, as I previously mentioned my wife's phone has no issue at home with the same type of sim. I have switched between the network types several times, gsm LTE, global and such with no luck.

Which APN are you using?

Go to your APN settings. Add this one:

This should solve your problems . Delete any other APNs you have listed before that and save the one I gave you.

That's the APN I'm using....as far as I can tell it's the morons at Straight talk.....I believe it's the sending out outdated sim cards coming from the warehouses. I bought a Verizon sim card from Wal-Mart and the circuitry is visibly different from the one I got in the mail, yet both of them are cdma (verizon) compatible. The same packaging and everything. After another hour on the phone with straight talk it's I working. Receiving texts and voicemail notifications. Now I can't use mobile data while on the phone, but this seems to be a setting in the phone itself that Verizon has set up....not sure. Any input poeople?

Flash the unlocked firmware and call it a day. I have at&t straight talk and I'm using a Verizon note 8 on the unlocked firmware. I couldn't get anything to work on the Verizon firmware
