How to use and manage dual sim cards?
Your smartphone will either have a single SIM tray or a dual SIM tray, depending on the model. The usage of two SIM cards in one device is possible with dual SIM cards. This is handy if you want to utilize a local number while keeping your primary number active while traveling abroad or if you have different phone numbers for your home and business.
By activating two SIM cards you can receive calls and messages on both cards. If you are speaking on a call using one card, the other card cannot be used to receive new calls at the same time.
