Is it possible to have 2 sims and an sd card at the same time, or is slot 2 strictly one or the other? (sim or sd)

Either 1sd + 1 nanosim or 2 nanosim
I'm sure someone will try the Samsung hack, where you shave down the microSD and take the SIM pad and superglue it to the microSD.

You can checkout Hybrid Sim Adapter where you can use 2 sims +1 sd card simultaneously. I havent personally used it nor I know whether it works.
Yes this works,i have a Honor Note 8 and tested the same Sim-sdcard combo on 7x

Well the LTE SIM is of a standardized SIM size. That's not the problem.
yeah, you can't do this OP.
I thought the lte sim is a micro sim card which wont fit the normal sim card...

Micro SIM is a standardized SIM size. You can cut "normal" SIMs (which is actually a Mini SIM) to go into Micro slots, and you can use adapters to put Micros into Mini slots. This is how people run iPhones on T-Mobile (cut a T-Mo SIM), and use iPhone-provisioned Micro SIMs in normal GSM devices (put in an adapter).
But like I said, this isn't part of the issue. The problem is incompatible radio hardware that can't be changed. I was just stating that the physical sizes of the card and slot aren't the issues.
thanks for clearing that up.. I had to click the "thanks" button also b/c i was number 300.. lol
Hi,
I visited a Samsung showroom here in India today, and I was said by store manager that the usual SIM Card used in Note I cannot be used with the Note II and you may need to cut the sim card (as it is to be done on iPhone 5). Is this true? If there is such a need to be undergone for using the SIM CARD in galaxy Note II?
I've just found out that is true!!
My SIM from my HTC Desire needs to be cut down with a micro sim cutter (Ebay) or a replacement micro sim card from your provider

its better get a new micro sim from your service provider. one of the mobile store guy had cut my sim wrongly, the edges gone, and it didn't work anymore, i did went to the service provider and replaced a sim, also get a micro sim adapter, which will be usefull when you need to use the sim in non micro sim phones.

Thanks dragon, is the way to cut down the sim is as same as the way that it should be done for the iPhone 5?

Yes, it's the same, it'd you are going to convert your standard SIM to a Micro SIM, I would suggest using the dedicated tool for doing it, as opposed to using a pair of scissors or a utility knife.
You can use the aforementioned tools, but it's changed with higher risks of damaging the SIM.

No, the iPhone 5 uses nano-sim, not micro sim like the iphone 4/4s, note 2 etc use.
You can see in this image that the micro sim used in the note 2 (right) is larger than the new nano sim used in the iphone 5 (middle)
Cmon its not that big of a deal..any shop keeper would cut ur sim for free or 100 bucks max..and u can even buy ur own sim cutter from eBay costs 150 rs..

The reason for my hesitation is that, once the cut is made, it makes the sim card not to be used in other regular sim card cell phones.

Well in ebay if you search for sim cutters they will also provide adaptors for micro sim as well. You can use them with your normal cell phones. No problem for you.

Avoid cutting it. Just go to your provider and they will replace the Sim in 15 minutes.

my provider exchanged my old sim Card for a micro SIM card for free.
Hey guys,
did anyone tried to use 2 simcards and sdcard with the new 2017 A series phones? with the sim card cut and glued to sdcard method?
I tried it, but for some reasons the phone doesn't see the sim card glued to the sdcard. I tried the sim in another phone ( normal microsim slot ), and it works.
I was thinking, maybe Samsung disabled this feature from firmware... curios if anyone got it working.
Thanks.
did anyone tried?
sorry to bump an old thread - i have a 2017 A3 and have the same inquiry. did anyone try this and succeed ?

I think i read somwhere that the sim might be pushing the sd card away of the pins. Maybe adding tape over the top of the sd might resolve it.

I've tried nano sim card adapter/extender and it's work just fine. You can buy one of them at aliexpress.com :fingers-crossed:
it works

I can confirm that it works! both, the 2 sims and the sd-card are working flawlessly!
The whole process might appear a bit risky but in my case it was absolutely easy and the result is great!
I´m using an SAMSUNG 64gb sd-card - i only sanded off the small upstand at the end of the card by using an nail-file.
For getting the chip out of the sim, a simple hair-dryer with approx. 60°-80°C worked!
Sooooooo I've noticed there is 2 variants maybe more but the 2 I've noticed are single SIM and Hybrid SIM
Does the single SIM also have a microsd slot? Or do I have to get the hybrid version ?
The single SIM version should have a SD card slot.
Get a hybrid dual SIM version if you can, often it doesn't cost any more though not offered in all markets.

Both have the ability to use a micro SD card the hybrid version allows you to use 2 Sims at the same time or 1 SIM card and 1 SD card, get the hybrid SIM it costs the same

The good thing to know is that you can have both 2x sims card + a sd card even on a Global variant with only a single hybrid sim tray.
All you need is to be fearless, a candle and some glue
Used that method on mine, working like a charm.
Regards.
thx for tip?

I suppose you put the sdcard on top of the sim. How did they fit in though? The slot is quite thin.

Yes. I wont lie to you you kind of have to brute force it back inside, but it gets in and out in the end with some patience and some located strength (as long as you do not keep taking them in and out all the time it is ok).
To make it work you have to 'peal' the Sim chip off its plastic support. That's basically the trick. But that's an handy one.
What I wonder thought is if the Indian flavor of the phone with that extra dedicated Sim tray, has an hybrid tray bellow, meaning wondering if that trick could make them have 3x sims + 1x SD. I suppose not, but still curious.
