I have finally ordered Dual Sim Z2 Play from Amazon and i have received it today. I opened the Sim Tray, and i am bit confused as it seem it's not the dual version. Can you please check the following pictures? If an owner of the dual sim z2 play can see this thread and verify me about this. How to host the 2 sim cards? As i see a plastic black and then the area for one sim card. Amazon replied me that i have bought a dual sim phone, but till now seems not.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide!
You bought the mono sim version. The dual sim in the sim side have two slot.
For example:
I tried to move a bit the plastic that exist on the sim 2 slot, and it removed, so now the tray is the same as the picture u posted. Though when i put the tray back, only one is recognized. I emailed again Amazon and their response is:
"
This is Prince from Amazon.it Customer Service, and It's a pleasure to assist you again.
Upon your request, I've double checked the "Motorola Moto Z2 Play Smartphone da 5,5 pollici FHD AMOLED, 4GB RAM, 64 GB ROM, Snapdragon 626 Octa-core 2,2 GHz, 12 MP Camera, 4G LTE, Android 7.1.1, Grigio Lunare" purchased in your order 408-4458000-8550715.
I found in the description that The phone is dual SIM with the ability to add the microSD (SIM1 + SIM2 + microSD at the same time).
So if you want to know more of the installing SIM cards way, Kindly follow the instructions of the manual book attached with the phone."
I bit confused of what is the problem
Are you italian? I'm also. Are you sure that you have bought the reteu and not the Tim version, that is branded and mono sim? The two version are both avaible in Amazon It, the Tim version with a lower price.
Send a screenshot of system info, to check in is reteu or a branded version. Above mine, where you can read "reteu".
However the sim tray in the two version is the same, with a cup to cover the second sim slot in mono sim, like yours. Obviously in the mono sim the second doesn't work even if you use the dual sim tray or, as you do, remove the cup.

Nope, just found the deal on amazon it wharehouse deals. I suspect its the tim version, as when i am trying to boot it, i see the TIM logo. I am just shocked a bit, that Amazon itself doesnt know what phone they sell
I will return the phone back then, its sure i can't enable it without going to other measures, like root, unlock the bootloader, etc right?

In the calale software, it says timit
In the moto z play i read in the past that is possible enable dual sim in mono version. On the z2 i suppose also but i don't know how. In any case the branded version have also other problem, expecially with Tim that is famous for their weird support of updates in their branded phones.
I suggest to you to return the phone and buy the right version.
If sw Channel is timit is the Tim Italy version

Return the device and if possible get some other device in this range. This phone is expensive with mediocre hardware.

For me this is perfect phone, amoled screen, 2sims + SD at the same time and most important - 3.5 jack! and I bought Moto turbo power first day, so 6500 mAh battery.
Point me to some other device that has it all with better CPU and stock android. Good luck

These were the same points i thought, but i could live without a memory card, so i would have gone for Oneplus 5 that time. It was not much difference moneywise but sepcs wise its better.

I was thinking about OnePlus as well. But the CPU in z2 play is not bad at all, handles all tasks smooth and it is not power hungry. Never had any unwanted reboot nor lags.
Anyway, I had some good phones lately because of my work, iPhone 7, X, android 6p, 5x, pixel xl. This is clear winner for me among them, may not be top CPU performer, nor the nicest (X was very impressive with its screen, but gestures and no fingerprint sensor ruined it for me), but build quality is comparable, and battery life with turbo mod is outstanding, bulky a bit but I favour it over thinnes of the other devices and no headphone jack, no sd slot, no dual sim.

Hi all!
which is the best dual SIM (sometimes called ghost sim, or twin sim) adapter for prophet?
I saw many auctions on ebay, but I don't know which one to buy.. :?
is this good?
http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...50007856399&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1
Of course I don't want to cut the SIM, but I don't know if there is enough room for bending the adaptor, or if it does fit well and it isn't too thick..
I also saw this one (I know that it requires to cut the sims):
http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...50007376601&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1
is this ok? or is it too thick?
If someone is successfully using such a device, could kindly answer to this thread? :?:
It would be great if I could see some images of the PDA and the adapter...
Thank you :wink:
i too wouldnt mind knowing this.?
anyone?
Yeah... me too
None of the duo sims adapters you pointed out are good.
You need to find an ANALOG duo sim.
The digital version drains the battery.
http://www.vavolo.com/productdetails.asp,ProductID,2397,,.htm
You will need to cut your cards - no way around it.
You can also find these at Ebay.

I sell the proper ones for this phone model
Price is £13 delivered anywhere in the UK
E-mail me at [email protected] for more details
If you are unsure of me then check in the universal and the orbit forums where members have bought from me before

Brando - Powerful Dual Card (10th era)
I'm using this one for more then a year and never have any problem and it's only $27.00US...
http://mobile.brando.com.hk/PowerfulDualCard10.php
No need to cut card
No need to switch power to set card
Love It!
Not for Prophet ?!?
Yes, it should be better if we didn't have to cut card.
But it seems not to be compatible with Prophet (the original question ;-)) Does it ?
hi ti-loute.
Do you know if the silmore dual sim works with a 3G/EDGE sim (can you connect to the Orange wap for exemple with your sim in the adapter ?)
Hi Tonio,
My SIM card is working on EDGE'.
When I was using the Wap, I did it through GPRS, but Orange has 'loosen' my GPRS connection when I've taken my S200 under 'fidelity' program.
So, I can't promise that Wap is compatible with that card ... But technically, I don't know why it wouldn't be right ...
It must be magicsim dual sim. I'm using their new 26th 3g dual sim, very nice

Well - what's that amazing phone model that runs on two networks? As far as I know there was only one model out there that could do such thing but even with some limits. Any dual-sim adapters won't do that.
well there is actually about 7 models out there that do this m8

Thanks. They do not guarantee compatibility with the Orbit, though. I have already tried two types that do not work.
Hi,
I see we can get the ZE551ML with two Intel variants : Z3560 1.8GHz and Z3580 2.3GHz. I think the cheapest version would have plenty of power for my usage (no games or very simple ones like 2048 ...), I merely like to browse the web when I'm outside (other than use the phone to phone !).
But the ZD551KL gets a Qualcom S615 with 8 cores and slower speed. Does anyone know how it compares to the former?
And about SIM cards, do both of these phones allow to "listen" for incoming calls on both SIMs at the same time? My goal would be to put personal and professionnal phone lines, and I just NEED to get incoming calls from both lines, not enable one at a time ... (don't understand the principle of standby dual sim)
Thanks

If you intend to use both sims, do not get the ZE551ML, Asus used subpar hardware on sim2 and is only capable of 2G with data blocked. 2G is being phased out and is already being shut down. In about a years time you will be left with a single sim phone. It's not only about speed but what hardware they are using. You can have the best processor in the world however if it is connected to subpar and outdated hardware it means nothing.
Also Asus never updated their OS at all, just their firmware. Which is nice they push out updates, but I'm finding their constant updates are to fix the problems they created with the last update.
Find another phone, there are plenty of companies out there offering dual sim with up to date hardware in the same price range.
Hi, thanks for your answer, could you point me some samples ? I did a lot of research but couldn't find anything else featuring a Full HD 5,5" screen with 4Gb of RAM with a decent camera and dual sim for EUR 249 ...
Help, Root Zenfone Selfie ZD551KL???
I don't think it's the right place to ask this ...
Just do searches and go through everything. Amazon, Aliexpress. Being in France you're open to a wide range of phones because of your bands over the United States. If you just search Dual Sim 4G LTE 64gb or even 32GB you will see tons come up. You don't really need 64GB as long as you can put a data card in the phone, a 32GB will work just fine as I move apps over to the card to free up space anyway. The Allview X2 looks great, I wish it had our US bands on it.
The allview X2 soul has no NFC, no LTE, only 2Gb RAM, only 5" display, only one SIM, so definitely not suitable. The X2 xtreme is bigger with its 6" display and has plenty of options, but prices almost twice the cost of the ZE551ML I can find locally ...

That is the wrong model. Allview has different models and the one I'm talking about is the X2 Xtreme which does have LTE,NFC and has a 6inch display. Here the price is about same as the zenphone. Since we are in different areas, our prices are going to be different. You need to do a search and you'll find the different models out there.
First of all, to make it clear, the phone you are looking for has to have two modems (this is what makes phone "dual sim active" or "dual sim full active" one), and unfortunatelly Zenfone Selfie doesn't meet that requirement.
On the other hand, it's a fact that ZE551ML does not support data transfer on second SIM slot (which is a bit awkward since Intel XMM 2230 - the second modem, does support EDGE).
In fact there are very little number of models with DSFA and 4G on both SIMs. For now I can think of Lenovo Vibe X2-CU as the affordable one, and maybe Huawei Mate 7 and P8 (but, with those you have to chose whether to use second SIM or SD card).
Few threads indicated that there is no dual SIM support, but then I saw a post where (unless it was April's fools day) someone said sim cards go back to back instead of side by side and it is a dual sim phone. Since I travel often to Europe, I need dual SIM feature. Could someone definitely answer this question, please? I bought mine directly from OnePlus U.S. website and it is already back in the box because of this issue, waiting for a RMA label to arrive and I don't want to open it again. I did not see second IMEI number is settings, but maybe it is hidden somewhere and can be activated by a factory code?

Thanks, but that totally sucks. Completely illogical move IMO.
I bought my phone from oneplus from France.
My build is Oxygen OS 2.2.2. LE15BA (BA is European version I think).
You can put 2 sims in the tray back to back, and I'm currently using it with 2 sims.
Here are some screenshots, and a picture from the back of the phone box where you can see there are 2 IMEI i.e. 2 sims.
for those who are interested, i have a dual-sim Chinese version new stellar black op 9 pro selling on swappa.
I am in US west coast.
Hello!
I'm waiting for the Pixel 6 Pro.
But I need dual SIM function - one Sim is a physical one (company SIM) the other could be an eSIM (private one). But a real dual SIM tray would be better...
Does anyone know, if this will be possible? I've read a lot about specs - but nothing about SIM...
Thanks a lot!
We won't know for sure until the phone lands but the Pixel 6 Pro Service and Repair manual has been leaked.
In that there are photos of all the spare parts which shows what looks to be a single SIM slot tray.
Pixel have been doing eSim for years so the assumption is that it will be dual SIM by having one eSim.
The only way to know for sure is to study the manual that leaked earlier
Have a go
https://docs.google.com/file/d/113RDKIakZKaLu04YUDicM718KXO2Vgpu/edit?filetype=mspresentation
The smartphone comes with 6.67 inches display size and it features IP68 dust/water resistance (up to 1.5m for 30 mins). The smartphone supports Nano-SIM and/or eSIM.
Hello!
Many thanks for your help
It looks like dual SIM is supported - one physical one is ok, I already have an eSIM profile. I think, my new phone will be a Google Pixel 6 Pro ;-)
