This product is designed to support two SIM cards. You can
install two SIM cards simultaneously and have them both in
standby. However, both SIM cards cannot be used at the same
time for phone service or data service. When you're in a phone
call using one SIM card, the other one will be unreachable
through phone call. Callers to that card's number may hear voice
prompts such as "The number you dialed is unreachable." or
"The number you dialed is out of service area". Similarly, if you're
using one SIM card's GPRS or EDGE for data service, the other
SIM will be unreachable for calls; but if you’re using one SIM’s
3G data service, the other SIM may be reached normally.
The above situation is caused by the phone design and has
nothing to do with the network of your operator. This design can
significantly reduce power consumption and improve your
phone's standby time. In case of missing important phone calls,
please contact your operator to enable services like missed call
reminder or mobile secretary.
