Hi guys. Not sure if this is possible or not. Can flashing a FD ROM add duos capability to the G960F? I have MTN South Africa's S9, and their policy is "no dual sim phones". Are there any physical differences other than the sim tray? Or, are these 2 completely different phones?
The fd has a second imei, yours doesn't.

Greetings,
Long time Android user but I'm looking to purchase my first Galaxy smartphone (so I'm a noob when it comes to Samsung Galaxy smartphones). Anyways while searching for one to purchase I noticed that there were two different dual sim models. The first one is SM-G960F/DS while the other one is SM-G960FD. Just wanted to know if it's the same model named differently or does it actually have differences in the hardware department (or does it even have additional logos). Thank you for your feedback
Both the SM-G960F/DS and the SM-G960FD are in fact exactly the same phone, they are simply two names for the same device to my knowledge. As for the logos on the back, I believe it maybe region dependant. My SM-G9600 (dual sim) does not have any extra logos, however I have heard that some dual sim S9's have a 'Duos' logo on the back.
My G960F/DS has the duos logo on the back and it doesn't seem to connect to lte in the US on the T-Mobile network.

i have a g965f dual sim and i get no LTE either?
still arguing with the person i bought my g965f from as my phone refuses to do *#2263# that errors out.
can you try *#2263# on your 960 to see if that works?

Do you know by any chance why dual SIM models are cheaper (at least in my country)? And can you tell me your model from checking the model number (is it SM-G960F/DS or SM-G960FD)?

It does not do anything when I type it into dialer. It gives an error when I click call. This is very strange because it seems most of the lte bands are supported on the device but it only uses 4g and the signal is not as strong as the T-Mobile varient

Mine just shows SM-G960F but it is the dual SIM model.

In my case, I bought my phone (Model number: SM-G9600/DS, It is the dual sim snapdragon variant) online, coming from Hong Kong as it is cheaper than the Australian version (Model number: SM-G960F, International exynos variant, Dual sim s9's are not sold in Australia).
It may also the same in your case, the cheaper dual-sim version maybe imported. Just my guess.
Mine says SM-G960F in menu, but it's exynos dual SIM with dual SIM logo at the back (also says SM-G960F/DS under the dual SIM logo at the bottom) bought official in Europe, Czech Republic.
Hey I see that you can use a dual SIM card tray... Where do you get them from ?
Thank you
Edit I have 5g version if that matters
Update - I have UK on ee 5g pro but SIM tray will only take one SIM it's not double sided.
i bought one from ebay
just search for oneplus 7 pro sim tray
I don't think the 5g model will take 2 sims. (Noticed your 2nd post so you presumably already know this )
I don't know if the 5g is dual SIM how can I find out? It has no settings in UI for a 2nd SIM
Anyone know if the 5g version is dual SIM... Two different people say two different things.
Regards
has anyone checked this out for the 5G version yet? might just order one and try it.
The 5G model can do dual-SIM, but you will lose 5G. You literally would have to flash it do a different firmware to achieve this or hope for someone to create a ROM with the 5G firmware that enables dual-SIM. The hardware is capable of dual-SIM, it's just disabled in the 5G firmware.
eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-Du...var=522291973382&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Due to arrive in 7 to 10 days.
Update: it works perfectly!
How did you get.it to work
Hi All,
Can i flash my USA Tmobile Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ SM-N975U (USA) with SM-N975F/DS (Global) to activate dual sim functionality on my USA TMO phone?
As far as i know i need to replace the sim tray after flasing the phone with global rom to get second sim working as default sim tray doesnt allow you to fit second sim on the tray.Any thoughts on this?

No. They are two different devices. Even if you managed to flash F/DS firmware to your U, you would just end up with am $1100 brick.
And there's no way to "activate" the second SIM. It's not present in the U devices. Again, even if it were, there's no IMEI for it, so it would be useless.

The SM-G981U1 doesn't have e-Sim capability regardless of the region and it's highly unlikely Carrier Aggregation will function. The devices in India with e-Sim functionality are Exynos variants. If full Call Features are a priority it's best to aquire your Service Provider's device.
