Talk:Dual SIM

message: The article mentions "standby" and redirects from "Dual Standby" but there is no explanation of what "standby" means.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.241.81.166 (talk) 01:49, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I rewrote the article to make it more structured and easier to understand, but I am not an expert myself. I based the definition of "standby" on this post, but that's obviously not a reliable source. Moreover, the Spanish Wikipedia refers to "Dual SIM One Stand-by" (for non-simultaneous models) and "Dual SIM Stand-by" (for simultaneous models), which is almost contradictory to the definitions used here. But there doesn't seem to be much information on this yet. My bet is that these topics are yet to reach mainstream, and thus the definitions aren't standardized. We should thus be careful since we could help strengthen and even standardize a trend that might not be the best choice (as opposed to compiling the information after-the-fact, without interfering with it). I'll add an  tag; let's hope that and the "unreferenced" template will call the atention of someone more knowledgreable in the subject. --Waldir talk 22:13, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: "Some Little Known Company"

message: In the current article, it mentions that dual sim phones allows two sim cards to be used simultaneously at any time.
However, it seems that some actual built-in dual sim phones have the disadvantage of signaling one of the numbers as switched off if someone calls that number while the phone is receiving a call to the number associated to the other sim card.
Also, in this reference, the term Dual Sim Dual Standby probably refers to active dual sim in the Wikipedia article, but no connection to the number of transceivers is made.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hjpacheco (talk • contribs) 02:17, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  What does "simultaneous" mean for dual sim phones? 

message: I made a few minor edits to the section describing the various types of dual SIM arrangements.
I had to make the assumptions "owns" = "owner's". If the author of this section had a different intention then please explain that intent. The use of "owns" was not standard.

thread_title:  Clean up grammar and work on readability 

message: I added link (external) for list of Dual SIM phones under article, but someone marked it as spam.
So a question is: why not? I think it's good know which phones know it. Maybe someone who come, want to know it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amras Tasartir (talk • contribs) 17:02, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

message: The ZTE V889D apparently supports something called Dual-SIM W+G / G+G, as seen here http://www.etowalk.com/zte-v889d-3g-wcdma-40wvga-dual-sim-android-v23-msm7227a_p2875.html (see Network). What exactly does W+G / G+G stand for? Google is of no help at all.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Knutars (talk • contribs) 14:13, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  DSFA abbreviation: dual sim full active  

message: This is not really a con. It is not possible to talk to two people at the same time. Are you comparing this to the situation of three people having two phones each and each person using two phones to make a three way conference call? 87.113.178.233 (talk)   — Preceding undated comment added 12:42, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

message: Just did a partial re-write/pruning of the article as it looked pretty much like a mess to me, not to mention being largely unsourced. I'd be glad if anyone here's up to expounding on the article, most especially with its history and the various types of multi-SIM handsets. Blake Gripling (talk) 05:18, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rewrite 

message: I added a section on why people might buy these phones.....which is the only reason I looked this article up.  Having found nothing here, I spent 2 hours reading articles on who is buying these things and I thought I might share what I learned.  N0w8st8s (talk) 09:07, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Very nice work. That's exactly what I was looking for. I copied one sentence from "reception/usage" to the introduction, which was too short. Now it also briefly says why dual-SIM exists.--Montalte (talk) 18:54, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Usage of dual sim card phones 

message: Shouldn't it be "dual-SIM" instead of "dual SIM" (inside the article, not the title itself)?  --Mortense (talk) 18:18, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Grammar 

message: The article included 3-4 enthusiastic mentions of new Apple phones with this feature. The particular phones aren't really that important, they are not revolutionary or deeply transformative to the technology, so one mention listing them as examples of dual-standby type is completely sufficient.
The article doesn't deal much with important historical milestones and firsts in development of the technology, which would be more proper topic to elaborate on. For that reason as well, three long sentences or paragraphs lauding and promoting a single-vendor's implementation (that is arguably more late to the party than being advanced) have no place in an encyclopedic text.

thread_title:  Removed excessive/unbalanced focus on recently-launched apple products 

message: "Dual SIM refers to mobile phones that support use of multiple SIM cards."
This is incorrect. "Dual" means "two", so dual SIM should refer to mobile phones that support use of two SIM cards. Mobile phones that support four SIM cards should be called quad-SIM. Mobile phones that support multiple SIM cards should be called multi-SIM. --Yejianfei (talk) 13:51, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
