The is question about MMS is regarding receiving MMS on the SIM that is not set to default for LTE. I believe I understand how data works regarding the dual sim setup on the phone -- both sims have the ability to connect to LTE, but only one sim can connect at time. The non-LTE set sim will only connect to 2g/3g for voice/text (no data even if connected to 3G, correct?).
My question is very specific: If I have LTE set to, say, sim 1, what happens if someone sends a MMS based group message to me on sim 2? I figure one of 3 things happens:
1. The MMS is downloaded and received automatically (whether through 2G/3G on SIM 2, or that somehow SIM 2 switches to LTE in the background so that it can download the MMS)
2. The MMS is not downloaded, but SIM 2 receives a sms notification that an MMS is ready for download (which would be done by either just tapping download to make the phone switch LTE to SIM 2 in the background, or by manually switching the LTE to SIM 2, then tapping download)
3. There is no indication on the phone that an MMS has been sent to SIM 2, and I either miss it completely, or only see it if I just happen to switch LTE to SIM 2 at some later date (before the expiration date, anyway).
Can anyone help to clarify this for me? I can live with options 1 or 2, but 3 would be difficult to live with. My understanding is that with many Dual Sim Dual Active phones, the behavior is that of option 2. I'm hoping that Dual Standby is similar when it comes to MMS receiving. SIM 2 would be for work, and MMS-based group messages are sent out when urgent issues come up (work in IT, and I am on call often).
Any insight is appreciated. My goal is to get a phone that is both dual sim (support for LTE on either sim) and supports Android for Work. So far the only devices that I've seen in this price range are the P8 Lite and the Honor 5x (both the Zenfone 2 and Laser meet one of these needs or the other, but not both).
I just realized I posted this in General rather than Q&A. My apologies. Spent some time before I posted this in a forum for a different phone that had General and Q&A kind of mixed into one. A mod can feel free to move it if they want.

Hey there,
Does anyone has this model??
What the opinion about it??
Hi,
I have similar question.
Does anybody have this model?
Are there any issues like there were with S4 mini duos? Mainly network issue it was experiencing, dropping connection and never reconnecting until reboot, poor signal sometimes, etc.
Is the dual sim active-active like on S5 duos? In case you are in call on SIM1 and someone tries to call SIM2, do you get notification or it is sent straight to voice mail.
I'm really tempted by this model, to replace my old HTC HD2
Thanks for any input!

I have this one, currently the main problem for me is poor battery life, I have 3g/4g enable whole day to receive emails and at the end of the day te baterry is at about 50-40% . I did not noticed any issue with network. Regarding the dual sim I'm not sure, if I call from one sim to second sim it says that the number is not responding.
Cool, thanks for info. Friend has S5 and he isn't able to get even 1 day out of battery, so I'm prepared to get 2 days max out of it
Regarding the calls, I have found out that if you are on call on one sim, other one is disconnected, but what you can do is apply call forwarding on each of them (of course you need to pay for that) and then it will get redirected to active sim.
@squider: Im curious, can you tell if its possible to set 3g either on SIM1 or SIM3 (seccond one will have to be 2G).
What I mean if I have two SIM cards (3g on SIM1 and 2g on SIM2) and I'll finish network packet on first, do I have to phisically swap SIM cards, or only change settings, and set 3g to SIM2, and 2g to SIM1 ?

Yes, you can set in settings which sim should use 2G and which 3G..
Quick question for you dual SIM users.
Does the Moto G2 support 3G on both Sims?
I intend using two three SIM cards, but they only support 3G. So if SIM two is only working on 2G it would be no good to me.
Thanks
The data connection is for one sim only, you get to choose if you use data on sim one or two, data is automatically change sim, for example from 3g sim1/2g sim2 to 2g sim1/3g sim2
Thanks, I'm with you. So with my two three Sims there would be only one SIM on at any one time.
I have I signal SIM moto g1 now, and if I switch to 2g only the three SIM no longer works.

Both Sim work at the same time while I'm using 3g in any Sim.
Data is available only for one Sim at a time, but the change is really fast and automatic when you select which Sim to use for data
I use mine with same carrier, it uses the 850mhz band.
Remember this phone is dualsim standby, it means if you're using voice in one Sim the other is unreachable.

Yes just on most networks if you are on 2G the sim still works. On three they don't.
A three SIM won't work on 2G no calls text or anything.
So even with both sims in standby only one would receive calls, am I right?
Only way to receive calls on either SIM (from standby) on a moto g is if at least one SIM works on 2G?

I've own two dual sim phones s4mini (lost it) an this moto g 2014, both are stated as dual sim standby, I haven't notice any difference in the way they handle simcards/data/voice.
On both phones I've use same carrier/numbers, one is personal (same number for 10+ years) the other from work (same number for 5+ years).
I've never missed a call on either Sim.
Even if I'm downloading something I can receive calls and text messages on that sim the download stops but my phone core functionality is still a phone for both simcards with any combination of data in 2g/3g or 2g/2g.
I'm never going to carry two separated phones, for me is enough the dualisim standby functionality.
For you is a pain that your carrier don't support 2g network any dual sim standby won't work, you need a dual sim phone with two separate modems

Thanks for confirming that, only other thing I can do is use one SIM and activate call divert on the other number.
That's the main drawback with three only supporting 3G/4G
So I have my Verizon sim in tray 1 & my T-Mobile sim in tray 2. What I am trying to do is have the data push through the T-Mobile sim but still maintain calls and text coming in from Verizon sim. When I set Dial to sim 1 & Internet to sim 2 in the options it just shuts down the Verizon sim completely. What am I missing? Is what am trying to do not possible?
20 views and nada, come on someone has to have some input they can provide me lol
So I finally got the phone to keep both sims registered to their networks and my calls and sms work with it set to my Verizon sim but I can't get the data to push through on the T-Mobile sim!!!!! AHHHHHH
I think the Mi MIx only has 1 4G radio? So that if both SIM cards require 4G connection, only 1 can be connected at one time
I understand, this is exactly why I wanted this phone too! Where did you buy yours and how long till you received it?
No voice calls.

Can you tell me what you did? I have data and sms going through fine but no calls.
Thank you.
Has any one resolved this issue?
I recently got a VZW SIM card, and everything works when it's the only SIM in the Mi MIX...but if I also put in my Project Fi SIM...I cannot send SMS via my Project Fi SIM--which carriers my main number...even though MMS also works on my Verizon SIM card......
Hi,
Got the note 9 since friday. working great. but i noticed that when i call on sim2, i can use mobile data of sim 1.
Default mobile data is from sim1. and phone calls are set to ask every time.
now my sim2 is my work number. during the working hours i call alot with this number.
my sim 1 is my private sub from t-mobile. and i mainly use the data plan of it. since i dont wanna use the internet that my boss pay's for for my personal use.
Now since i got this setup. what happends is. some one texts me a foto through whatsapp. and then calls me to sim2 before i can look / dowload the picture. then when i pickup the phone they ask me did u see the picture i sent you. i then open whatsapp. but i get the msg no network.
what i noticed is that when i call on sim1 i still have LTE data. (cause sim1 provides the data)
so it cant use data from sim 1 and voice from sim2 at the same time?
also is there a way to set certain apps to use data of a specific sim card?
lets say i open my 2nd whatsapp that it loads the images sent there from my sim2 network
but when i open my 1st whatsapp (2nd app cloning) it uses data from sim1?
or any other apps for exmp chrome and samsung internet?
is there any tweak that automates the switch data to sim2 as soon as i make a call with sim2?
now i can just click on the sim settings menu and change the default data to sim2 to receive data during the call. but when im driving in my car this are alot of buttons to press and i rather not.
i don't own N9 yet. read about dual sim technology varieties on the net, theoretically N9 should be able to get dual VOLTE feature on both SIMs (assuming it supported by carrier(s), and phone shows VOLTE icon on both SIMs). in the event you are making call on SIM 1 & trying to get data on SIM 2 or vice versa, this requires dual sims dual volte (DSDV) feature kicks in and liberates you to choose which SIM to get data from.
might really want to consult with your carrier(s) if both SIM support VOLTE.
Are you able to get VoLTE and WiFi calling to work on the international dual sim F variant of Note-9 on US T-mobile network?
I saw something a bit odd here. It says here on specs that secondary sim only supports voice but from what I know is that both SIM cards support data. Is there something wrong here? Do both sim slots not support data? To the best of my knowledge with this phone you can have two SIM cards and use data on both of them allowing you to download two WeChat apps and have two numbers for each WeChat account on one smartphone. Is this not the case now?? See link from HK below and look at the bottom of the specs page for supported bands on SIM card tray.

Hi
I don't have a second SIM handy but looking at the settings you set the phone with a default SIM for calling and a default for data. Makes sense you would have to do this. So outbound calls and default use of data is pushed through either SIM. Don't know if that helps....
Found a SIM and popped this in. I now have another option enabled which says switch data connection between calls. So the option moves the data to SIM 2 when taking a 4g call on SIM 1....
