[Q] Data from both sim cards?

I am in search of a dual sim phone, and I consider the zenfone 2 a good candidate.
However, it is vital to me that the phone can support a data connection from both sim cards.
Obviously not at the same time, but to switch data connection from one sim card to the other, without having to physically change the sim cards around.
Is this possible on the zenfone 2?

This is possible but sim2 only supports 2g speeds.

Thanks, that's quite a disappointment.
I thought today most other dual sim phones do support 3/4G on both sims?

AFAIK there is no data from sim2, not even 2G

You will not get data on sim 2 due to Asus blocking it with their firmware. Even though they used an outdated and subpar modem for sim 2, it is still capable of data. Their Zenfone Selfie does contain a dual active dual sim with lte on both sims this their "flagship" phone however used inferior hardware.
Unfortunately this may not be the phone for you in particular if you live in an area such as the U.S. or in Europe where they are shutting down 2G, it's already happening. This "flagship" dual sim phone will soon become a single sim for many of us.
I've actually talked to Asus about this and was told this is their "Flagship" phone and it is "Premium LIKE". I asked what he meant by "Premium Like" and he said it was comparable to other high end phones with compromises made on using lessor hardware. LOL, it's a knock off then, no different than buying "Prada" bags out of someones car trunk. I've had to deal with Asus on a couple of issues with their phone and have to say, I would NEVER buy anything again from them.

Jio 4G Sim OnePlus 3; Not Conecting to internet.

So I got a LYF phone and Jio Sim with unlimited offer for 3 months. Works fine in my LYF phone.
I popped this sim in my OP3 and downloaded all the JIO apps. It even says VoLTE on the top. I'm logged into MyJio and JioJoin. It just wouldn't connect. The exclamation mark in the network bar wont go. And a notification that says 'Sign in to network; Jio 4G'. When I click on this notification it opens a webpage saying that I've exhausted my balance. I've read a lot of peoples' posts that Jio is in fact working on OP3.
Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong? I've even tried to reset my apn as to how it tells in the SMS.
My OP3 isn't unlocked and rooted.

The sim that you have is locked to the LYF phone and wouldn't work on any other phone (except some Samsung phones)

Only the sim phone tied to a Samsung device would work on your phone, afaik. SIM tied to LYF phone won't work on any other device.

I have a Jio connection which I took in May. After the 3 months they made the connection free to use with any other mobile. The speed I get is just amazing.
If u getting the sim for a Samsung mobile.. U need to use it with the Samsung phone and activate the preview offer. If not, there are many work arounds tutorial available on YouTube. I was able to activated a new sim with that work around.

Dual volte on Lenovo z2 plus

As with new software updates Mi A1 (sd625) and Redmi 5(sd450) are getting dual volte feature, so why can't we?
Even with qualcom snapdragon website our sd820 supports dual 4g at the same time, so why can't we even get one sim for volte(calling) and other sim for 4G(data only).
As in HTC phones if we change data sim, it doesn't change network preferences, like we can use data on 2g sim, and other sim remains on 3g network. Can't we use this kind of thing? Where1 sim will be on 4g volte network, and on other sim we use data on 4g/3g network.

My z2 plus have LTE on both sims but volte on first sim only. Do you mean volte on both sims?

Yes we have Lte on both sims but not ate same time, one time only one sim remains on 4g network and other goes on 3g/2g. But as per Qualcomm snapdragon our sd820 supports dual sim 4g at the same time. Volte on both sim is a different thing, but still want answers for that also.

yeah ! bro same problem here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any dev wants to invest some time in it ??
Any possibility of getting dual 4g ?

Maybe sd820 supports dual lte but i think that it maybe more of device specific.... I think our device hardware doesn't support it even if chipset is compatible

Its a modem feature and our device's modem doesn't support it so I don't see that coming.

Can anyone with a SM-N975F/DS answer this question...

Does your phone have this option in Settings, Connections, Mobile Networks:

Are your models Single SIM or Dual? My dual SIM unit allows me to choose the network type/speed for each SIM (unless you guys disabled SIM #2 on each of your phones, maybe?)
Not to mention, that option that I am asking about would only show up if your model was dual SIM.

Dual SIM version. Haven't inserted second SIM and nothing blocked.

I do on my 9750. Has to be dual SIM w/second SIM actually used.

Mine is Dual sim as well

CSC : SLK
Dual Sim, but only have a single SIM inserted and that option doesn't show up.
I think it only appears if you have both SIMs inserted?

9760 and csc CHC and I have 2 sim inserted and this option appears.

This is a carrier specific settings only showed up if supported. Otherwise if your LTE network is a true one, like fully VoIP/ToIP as it should be, it isn't showed because it exclusively uses it.

eSIM on S20+

Hi All,
I just took delivery of the S20+
Mine came with 1 esim, 1 dedicated simcard slot (SIM1)and 1 simcard/sdcard (SIM2) hybrid tray.
went ahead to sign up for esim for the network i use most often.
Now, i have a question. What happens if i factory reset the phone. will the esim "profiles" remain or do i need to drop by the network provider and request another esim activation code?
This is because i have the habit of performing a factory reset on my android phones after a major firmware update, or every 6 months (or if i feel the phone feel sluggish).
Any idea guys? i cant seem to find information on this anywhere. is the esim data stored on the phone data or in the esim itself.

aah.. found it.. if you go to the setting to factory data reset, at the bottom there is a checkbox to select if you want to retain the esim. tick if you do not want to.. and it is unticked by default (keep your esim data)

Apparently the unlocked US version don’t have eSIM?

My unlocked S20+ didn't come with a sim card. I used the Verizon sim card from my S9+ in it. Works perfectly. If you go to Verizon and ask for a sim card for your new phone, they charge you like $40 for activation. I paid nothing.

U can check it out on your phone settings.
Go to settings - connections - SIM card manager.
If your device has esim, you will see SIM cards section and a Esim section.

That doesn't show up on my unlocked S20+ 5G US variant

That's pretty neat having both hybrid and esim.
Essentially you could have 1 esim and sim card plus sd card.
I've ordered mine from Vodafone hope it has the same options.

vodafone UK doesnt support esim on their phones yet (and they didnt sound keen on changing that soon) which is crazy but i think they are afraid people will start using dual networks and they're not happy about that

Glad I bought S20 plus rather then waiting for the ultra version.
More sleek and practical.
Vodafone phones come with esim option also for those who might be wondering.

Nope. Only 2. But u can have both sims and registered esim profile in the phone but at any time only 2 can be active.
To be precise only esim and sim1 or sim1 and sim2. Sim2 can't be used together with esim.

I bought an S20 plus from Samsung and on the box there are two IME numbers. Just one IME is showing in settings. Does this mean it is software disabled? If so I wonder when, and if, the will activate it.

Will be useful to know which variant of s20+ you have there. Samsung released many variants.
Single sim
Dual sim
Dual sim with esim
This 3 in 4g and 5g.
Mine is 4g dual sim with esim.
Sm-g985f/ds
Sim2 slot shares same imei with esim.
So I'm using sim1, microsd card and an esim.
Imei won't show up on settings unless it's active. As in having a sim card in slot 2 or esim profile on.
If u don't have esim set up you'll only see the add mobile plan option if your phone supports esim.

It could be for the esim. Try going to settings - connections - sim card manager.
Can you screen shot and share here the page? If your phone has esim support, it would show there.
It should look something like this attachment.

Esim is what I was be referring to. Apologies if I wasn't clear on that. And no there is no sim card manager. The two IME numbers tell me it is capable of it at least. It's just not turned on
