Trying to use my new Poco.
I have a dual sim set up, both sims are switched on. But I fail to send SMS messages (But I can receive them)
Also I can't get any cellular data.
Do I have to activate something?
My sims work fine in my old phone.
Please help other wise this phone is useless as it is.
Try different sims on your Poco. If they work, it's your sim cards otherwise RMA your phone.
Copy the access point name APN from your old phone. You will find it under network settings / data or similar. The APN will probably include the name of your service provider. Then transfer to your new phone.
Thanks
My sim card wasn't that old, but I tried a new one and it's fine now

Hello all.
I have unlocked Vibrant. I am traveling to Romania. I bought Orange Sim card, it works in my Vibrant, but I don't get any data service, does anybody knows how to make it work?
Thank you.
that's probably because you don't have the APN settings in your phone. either google their APN or just call Orange and ask them to give you the information that you need.
Yes, you are going to have to call them and ask them for the APN settings. Thats what I did and I am using the MySimpleMobile sim card.
Hey all.
I think this might be a general problem with Android, but before someone scolds me for posting in the wrong place, I'm trying it here first.
I own two SIM cards... one I use regularly, the other that I only use to go online. I use APNdroid (well, actually Elixir, but the method of operation is the same) to prevent my usual and expensive SIM card from connecting to the internet. However, when swapping one SIM card for the other, the phone goes online either way.
- SIM1 is in the phone, APNdroid has data disabled
- I turn off the phone, insert SIM2
- After using SIM2, I switch back to SIM1
- When the phone has started up, SIM1 goes online immediately, despite the APN setting having been wrong before using SIM2.
Is there any way I can stop this from happening? Going online with SIM1 costs me a fortune and going into settings to disable data through Android is quite tedious.
Cheers
I have an unlocked ATT One X+, it's stock rooted. I'm traveling in China right now and trying to get a SIM card to work... calls work fine, but data does not.
Mobile Data is ON
I've tried turning Data Roaming both On and OFF
Tried rebooting phone of course
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks!

Ended up figuring this one out. If I try a new SIM card long enough, eventually the network provider texts a message to the phone with information about setting up the APN (Access Point Name) for the mobile data connection. I've never had to deal with that before, so it was new to me.
All I had to do to go to the Access Point Name ('APN') settings and change the Authentication Type from its default 'Not Set' to 'None'. After that, my internet is working fine.
It would appear this may be an issue common to a number of Chinese phones, so hopefully this will be of use to other people in the same situation.
I want to use my first sim for 3g texting and calls and 4g texting and calls (something a few operators in the uk are doing now).
I want to use my second sim for 3g data and 4g data for google maps, browsing and whatsapp (4g coverage isnt amazing in the uk)
I still want to use the first sim for 3g and 4g data but only when I can't get signal with the second sim, but I want it to signify it's doing so or to ask for permission.
I still want to receive calls and texts on the second sim using either the 3g or 4g network, depending on what is in range. I still want to make calls and send texts from the second sim, but only to contacts who are saved under that particular sim, and not very often.
If someone is saved under the contact of sim 1 or 2, I don't want it to message or calls them from the other sim without consent.
When i'm browsing I still want to be able to receive calls and texts on either sim, interrupting the browsing if necessary.
Is this something I'll be able to do easily without having to constantly switch the settings of the sim cards or the settings of the phone?
The thing if I've ordered one but I haven't opened it yet. I was hoping to make sure that it works the way I was hoping it works before opening it, or if I should just return it.
Hi all,
I'm gonna buy an e-Sim, never had one before.
Wondering if, while waiting for my phone number to be moved to the new company E-Sim, if I can set voice calls to Sim and mobile data internet to E-Sim.
Thanks!
Your knowledge about esims is totally wrong they are not what u think about them esim is inbuilt in new smartphones which prevents the use of physical sim card and u can use multiple esims in one device like profiles they just need one time setup
Thanks for your answer.
I don't have knowledge about esims, and that's why I asked esperts.
In any case, I know about profile, multiple profiles (and one profile at a time use on certain devices), my question was a little bit different.
When I had a dual sim phone, I set the first sim for voice and messages and the second sim for mobile data. Second sim had a much better signal and many more Gb plan.
Now I have Pixel6, I have a phisical sim (and my phone numer on it)m and I'm going to buy an e-sim from a different operator. They'll give me unlimited GB, so I thouhgt, while waiting for the old phone number to be transfered on the new e-sim, to use the esim profile for mobile internet data only.
Basically: voice calls: sim 1 (physical sim)
messages: sim 1
Mobile internet data: sim2 (e-sim).
That's what I was asking, is it possible?
Yea everything is possible
U can do it
i am using a esim for voice and a sim for data.
and it pisses me off that i can not talk and surf at the same time.
for me the voice cannot be active and have the data in use at the same time
Is it activated

Strange, my wife is using a P6 with voice on e-SIM and data on physical SIM. So it's possible.
