    SIMs (Subscriber Identity Modules) are hugely important to the identity and function of your mobile phone. They hold data that is specific to the user, and enable your phone to connect to the network and data plan that you have subscribed to. With a dual SIM phone, powered by two separate SIM cards, you have the flexibility to enjoy two SIMS in one mobile. That way you can make the most of different phone contracts, or have two separate numbers: one for work or business, and one for your personal and family life.

    A dual SIM also means you can have one SIM that connects you to a local network when travelling abroad, with the standard SIM from your home country ready to kick into action when you return. Put simply, a dual SIM gives you even more options when it comes to making the most of your mobile phone.

    You can even give yourself full autonomy when it comes to choosing both of your SIM card providers. SIM free phones with a dual SIM set-up enable you to simply buy a handset on its own, and then choose your compatible SIMs afterwards.

    Or, if you already have a dual SIM phone but want to switch one or both of your SIMs, you can do so by taking advantage of a SIM only deal. That way, you only pay for your SIM card and associated contract, without having to fork out for a new mobile.

    Dual SIM FAQs

    How does dual SIM work?

    Dual SIM phones utilise two separate SIM cards to give the handset the ability to change between service providers. It means that your phone can have two numbers that you can call from, and which people can reach you with. This is really handy if you want to have a personal number and a business number that operate separately from one another, for instance.

    In some cases, one of the SIMs is already embedded into the phone (an eSIM) and works like a traditional SIM card to connect you to your chosen service provider and data package. The second SIM is usually a physical card that is inserted into a tray on your mobile phone. Usually, with a dual SIM set-up, when one SIM is in use, the other stays in standby mode, ready to be activated when called upon.

    How to use dual SIM

    Dual SIM phones operate differently according to the model and operating system of the handset. How you manage them depends entirely on how the phone is built – for instance one SIM may need to be inserted by hand into a retractable tray on the side of your phone, while the other (usually an eSIM) can only accessed via menus on the operating system.

    Here are a couple of examples:
