Advise needed - cellphone with 2 simcards
 
Hi all

I would like to have a cellphone which has got the capability to hold 2 simcards. Would make communication while travelling so much easier.
Is there anybody out there who has got one/experiences or knows of a brand?

Thank you very much in advance!

SV

PS:
I'll post the same question also in the Lounge.

Hi SV - Samsung makes a dual SIM card phone (as does LG, and many Chinese handset manufactureres)

And there is an adaptor that is supposed to work in many regular phones

I think some handset manufacturers are working on a 4 SIM handset!

Thank you very much! You most probably have saved me a lot of re-arranging, searching for one phone or the other or even the simcards ;)
Just wonderful!

Hope it was not too expensive. DealExtreme has a lot of "no name" dual sim and even quadband phones. I bought mine (zoho V90) for $85 about 2 years ago or so. It works quite well and both sims are active/standby at the same time.

Thank you for the link mrcamp!
Compared to yours it's quite expensive. But as long as it works fine it should be okay.
Again - thank you for your input!
