Hi,

I just wonder if somone has some feedback about using DUAL SIM in the Nokia N8 Smartphone. I live in Europe and will travel to the US during summer vacation. In the US I would like to buy a card from a local phone company maybe AT&A, Sprint, T-Mobile or Verizon and use it together with the one I have from Europe.

Any experience you are willing to share on this topic ?

Cheers

Maybe I did explain it not accurate enough. I want the phone to be online on both carriers at the very same time. Is this possible ?

You are right. Again I did explain it the wrong way. I wan't to be accessible on both phone numbers at the very same time. Of course the phone is registered on-one carrier only at this time. Phone number 1 uses roaming between (example) Swisscom <--> AT&T. Phone number 2 is a local one from a SIMCARD for AT&T in the US.

Is this possible by using a SIMORE solution ?

The fake Chinese n8 has dual sim.  Most of those fake Chinese phones have them.  I don't think you can do it on the n8 without having to swap sims.

"Asking" Wikipedia it tells me about "active dual sim mode" and "standby dual sim mode" phones.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_SIM

Therefore with the Nokia N8 I have it would only be possible to have a "Standy Dual SIM" Phone. And the
only advantage of using, for example, a product from SIMCORE is that I don't need to change the SIM
card by hand, each time I wnat to use the other "line" to make a call. Correct ?
