Rebrand S9+ and turn it to DualSIM - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
i could take this phone as an upgrade with my current plan, however it is of course single sim.
In EU there are any differences in the hardware between single sim and dual sim (other than the sim tray slot)?
Thanks

I wish it was that simple, could use that functionality tbh... Unfortunately you can not convert a single sim card phone into a dual sim card.
This is because the phone lacks the necessary connections/hardware internally for dual sim card support.

LG V10 - Dual sim versions?

How many dual sim versions of the V10 are there? H921N, H962?
All the dual sim versions have 2 sim slots and a 3rd slot for a SD card correct?
Also does the V10 dual sim version have a IR blaster built in?
I googled for information and photos but all I could find was info on the USA single sim model.
H921N owner here, yes, it has the two sim slots and the sd card one. And yes, mine has an IR blaster.
H962: 2 sim and 1 sd card slots, check. Ir blaster, check
Thank you for the replies. Anyone know which one of the dual sim model works in Colombia SA?
Here you can check it for Colombia:

The problem with Colombia is that some phones are just not approved to be put on there networks even if it supports the frequency range. My brother purchased a dual sim phone that had the supported hardware to run on the frequencies in Colombia but when he went to activate he was told that particular make and model could not be used in Colombia.
I know the V10 is sold in Colombia on Exito.com webite and it is the LGH960A model but I can not find any information on if it has dual sims or not.

Convert dual sim S9+ to single sim?

Hello! I got a new S9+ G965F/DS and I was wondering if there is any way to convert it to a single sim model? Maybe by flashing a specific firmware or something? I really hate all those SIM1 markings all over the device (for example the VoWiFi icon, the icon for sending a text, imei information etc...). I only have one sim card, so the dual sim functionality is completely obsolete. Any reply is appreciated, thanks!

991U1 dual sim?

I have the sm-G991Gu1 that I ordered from samsung in the US. Currently using it with a tmo aim card.
I've read that all s21 models are dual sim. Is this true? Can I put in another sim card from my European carrier and use it when traveling etc? (not esim).

Question Dual Sim support?

Hi guys,
Does anyone know if the T Mobile Nord N200 have dual sim support? The one I got from t mobile the sim tray only support 1 SIM and 1 microSD, it seems there is a filled in space in the middle that has a size for another sim, do you think if there is a Oneplus dual sim tray we can buy and use it for the N200 and have dual sim support?? Thanks!
If I understand it correctly it's capable of one sim and one esim. I could be wrong however that is the way they explained it to me.
I wonder if they will market an international version of the same phone like the 6T. With the 6T you can convert it by flashing the international version of the firmware and replace the sim tray with a dual slot tray.

The Nord N200 5G does not has esim. Just single physical sim

That could be. The TMobile lady wasn't the brightest person in the world.....
Spec on GSMarena says it's dual sim capable... https://www.gsmarena.com/oneplus_nord_n200_5g-10961.php
So I'm hoping the tmobile version retained that functionality just need a dual sim tray...
If it was just a matter of needing the tray, I think both IMEIs would be shown. However, only one IMEI is shown so either it doesn't have eSIM or a new firmware/ROM is needed.

Dual SIM works just fine on my TMo 8T with a single IMEI, tray replaced & rom flashed. So I doubt having 2 distinct IMEI is a requirement for dual-SIM support.
If I recall correctly with my 6t it did not show the second IMEI until I flashed the international version

Having only 1 IMEI should not generally be an issue. If the dual SIM tray trick works on the N200, then both SIMs will get that same IMEI number. As long as you use the 2 SIMs on two separate cellular networks - which is usually the most common use case for dual SIMs anyway - it will work just fine with that 1 IMEI on both SIMs. I think there are multiple posts on the other Oneplus threads on XDA about this working out for them, when the dual SIM tray trick indeed was possible for that specific phone.
I think the crux here is testing out a dual SIM tray on the N200. Since I am not aware of any dual SIM N200 version released anywhere in the world, there is no easy way to purchase an actual dual SIM tray for the N200. The best test scenario I can think of is for folks who have both an N200 and any other dual SIM tray Oneplus phone - like international or factory unlocked OP8 or OP9 - they can perhaps visually verify if the dual SIM tray from the OP8 or OP9 is the same geometric shape and size as the N200 tray (which already has a filled in dual SIM tray). If so, simply try the OP8/OP9 dual SIM tray out on the N200!
Anybody who has the dual SIM tray for OP8 or OP9 as well as the N200, who is willing to look into the above test scenario for dual SIM tray for N200, and sharing their experience with us?

not sure about OP9, but I can confirm the SIM trays for OP8 and OP7 (two SIM cards overlapped with chips facing outside) have different shapes from the tray of Nord N200 (SIM1, the potential SIM2, & MicroSD slots are next to each other).

How Is Tracfone's A21 Limited To Single SIM?

Has anyone tried getting dual SIM to work on the US spec A21 or any other US spec phone that use an elongated single SIM tray?
Any chance these phones actually have a dual SIM reader and are only software limited to single SIM?
