Where to get Dual SIM in UK - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

Can't find anywhere in UK that can pre-order, or order, dual sim version.
Ideally somewhere doing the promotion and/or with option of PayPal.
Anyone found anywhere?

Three uk is only reseller that I know of that does dual SIM.
You cannot buy from them sim free but you can get on contract and then cancel and works out slightly cheaper than a single free device. See my post in the UK thread.

Whatever you do, don't put a 3 SIM in first as it will be permanently branded to 3 and worst of all you won't get many updates. Worth getting a PAYG sim if need be just to avoid this crap.

As far as i'm aware, either of those will be fine. Just not a 3 SIM :good:

O2 Rep told me they were selling dual SIM, not 100% sure I believe them but still...

Intriguing, does beg the question of why are Huawei selling two different model numbers? Who knows!

One confusion re this dual SIM if a phone isn't dual SIM does that mean you can't put the new nano memory in it ???

I'm buying off very as 12 months interest free until I sell my note 9 .. they show a SD card which is obviously wrong but confused if no dual SIM will I be able to put a memory card in ??

I think I get mine on Friday so I will know then I suppose.

Because of the camera , I am a massive photographer
Also the updates on samsung are ridiculous no rhyme or reason ...

I asked csrphone warehouse and they said they are selling single sim version. It might be same hardware wise with a different sim tray,then just a different firmware.
Thanks for the tip about 3 sim I will put my ee sim in first and see what happens

Your buying from where

There is definitely a single and dual SIM varient.
Caroline warehouse confirmed they only sell single SIM. I don't believe anyone other than three are selling dual in UK. But happy to be proved otherwise.

Normal SIM to micro SIM
They should.. or can. But like mentioned, get a cutter on eBay. A lot of em come with adaptors so you can use your NEW micro sim with a regular sim slot!

[Q] Standard SIM or Micro SIM for T-Mobile (USA)...?
Hi Guys,
Which one will I need for the S3 if using T-Mobile (USA): "Micro SIM", or "Standard SIM"? Don't like the idea of cutting the SIM too much, and rather get the correct size right away...
Does anyone know -for sure - what size SIM card is needed for T-Mobile (USA)?
Reason for my question: I am not going with a T-Mobile contract, but want to try a prepaid SIM card from a 3rd party provider.
Thanks!

Are you for real?
Micro SIM = Micro SIM nomatter where you are.
I think most, ifnot all SGSIII has Micro SIM instead of MiniSIM.
I walked into the HI store yesterday (My TSP), got it cut into Micro SIM and an adapter for my current SGS for free!
You don't get it...

I don't know what's so funny about this, you brainless Danish Fish Stick !!?
It's morons like you who sabotage excellent message boards - like XDA - with your stupid, arrogant comments! My question on the SIM was an honest question, and certainly not worth being ridiculed....
Go back to your Troll friends in the mountains, or stick around and learn some "Netiquette"!! (...yeah, google it, since you probably don't know what it means..)

Hi there - you will need to get a micro sim for your S3 - that is what the current documentation is showing anyway. Either way, if you get a micro SIM card and it is the wrong size, you can always get an adaptor cheaply off Ebay or Amazon to convert it to a mini SIM card (what you referred to as a Standard SIM).

I know it must be hard to accept, but yes, it was a completely idiotic question, but i could also have just told you that instead of helping, however i did choose to help, despite your question making no sense, and without resorting to insults.

SIM Cards

I've been reading and watching that this takes micro SIM cards - at least for the US versions. What about the international versions? Do they take regular sized SIMS or micro as well?
They take micro as well.
It's micro sim

Why are all high end sets migrating towards Micro Sim all of a sudden?
Smaller. Allows more stuff to be put into the same area. That's my guess anyway.

And it looks like we'll have do deal with nano sims at some point... It's going to be 12.3mm tall, 8.8mm wide, and 0.67mm thick which is apparently 40% smaller than micro. And yes they do it to free up some space inside.

So, then this really this isn't a traveling phone then. Only certain countries even offer micro sims. If I want to use a local SIM, I'll need a different phone.

You're aware of the charges with roaming, right?? It's a silly question, but from your suggestion, I had to ask.

What's sad is that they made regular SIM cards (sometimes referred to as Mini SIM cards) way bigger than they needed to in the first place. That excess room provides no added benefit. It would have saved time/money/resources just by making micro SIM cards to begin with.

Selling my Note. SIM question

I just upgraded to the S4 and am selling my note. I know the Note has a larger SIM. If I were to sell it would the person have to get a new SIM card from AT&T?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
It's recommended to get the right size sim card. At&t doesn't charge to replace them. There are cutters and inserts available. People even tape them in place but it always leads to problems. You could even botch up the sim port on the phone if not careful.

The sim is YOUR account information. It isn't transferred between subscribers.
Chances are the new owner will need to get an LTE sim to use the phone.
well hopefully someone will still buy it with the info given. Thanks for the answers

NM Memory Card UK

I ordered on the 128gb version from Amazon UK (not reseller) on the 18th October as soon as they went live
I was expecting delivery today and it was shown still as being delivered until about 10am this morning when I received an email from Amazon
Has anyone received the memory card or has anyone found out where to buy them in the UK
I am moving from the note 9 to the mate 20 pro and have a 256gb in that (moving for the camera )
Seems like a supply issue
Any updates appreciated
Chris
I am having the same problem please let me know if you find anything I will do like wise

Think there has been a massive amount of confusion but there are a couple of threads which explains the SIM holders
They all have dual SIM just some have the dual SIM activated the single sim ones just have one slot activated and the other is for the NM card
Can't wait to get mine it should have landed today but royal mail screwed up so should be with me tomorrow ?
