[SLUG] Using a Dual SIM Android Smart Phone
I have volunteered to talk on Using a Dual SIM Android Smart Phone at the SLUG meeting this Friday, on: Using a Dual SIM Android Smart Phone by Tom Worthington FACS CP HLM One of the more unusual Google Android smart phones available is the Huawei Deuce U8520, which has provision for two SIM cards and so can be connected to two different mobile phone networks, with two different telephone numbers simultaneously. The benefits and limitations of this and other features will be discussed.

Re: [SLUG] Using a Dual SIM Android Smart Phone
They're definitely not so common in Australia, but in the middle east such as Turkey (well half europe/half middle east) most people have phones like that. Basically, if half of your friends are on one network, the other half are on another. So they enable people to get cheap calls by allowing you to be on several different networks at once. Obviously, here where the networks push out the cheap subsidised phones, well they are not so commonly available. Interesting though...

Yes. Dick Smith is advertising them (unlocked) in their latest catalogue for somewhere around $250. http://dicksmith.com.au/product/EM5006/huawei-deuce-android-dual-sim-unlocked-mobile or a cheaper, less bells-and-whistles model (doesn't run Android) http://dicksmith.com.au/product/E6830/huawei-g6600d-unlocked-dual-sim-mobile-phone DaZZa On 29 September 2011 12:28, David da...@kenpro.com.au wrote: Can these be used on australian networks?
