UK dual sim model number & availability - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Can anyone confirm what the model number is for the UK dual sim version of the P20 Pro? E.g. The model number of the infamous Three network contract version I've seen mentioned numerous times?
Does anyone know whether there are other UK dual sim sellers now also given its been some months since release?
On the Huawei UK website I noticed that in the technical specs (under the "SIM" section) it says that the twilight version is only in dual sim.. Correct or a mistake?
https://consumer.huawei.com/uk/phones/m/p20-pro/tech-specs/
Hoping its correct, because Carphone warehouse sell the twilight colour, so they may be selling the dual sim version without acknowledging it. I called CPW and they said that I "should assume its single sim as CPW website doesn't state dual sim".

Nope single sim. My twilight colour was dispatched by CPW and it is single sim. AFAIK, only 3 have the dual sim variant in the UK

C782 (CLT-L29). No idea about the colour though, mine's midnight blue.

I also got a Twilight in the UK from mobiles.co.uk (part of the Carphone Warehouse group).
I bought it on a Vodafone contract but is unlocked.
I hoped for dual SIM but it is model number CLT-L09 and sadly only single SIM

Nokia 8 TA-1004 Dual SIM

Hi guys,
I need your help in something, im searching to buy the Nokia 8 Dual SIM variant, unfortunately here in Cyprus where i live the haven't brought the phone yet so i'm looking to order it online.
But the think is that from Ebay or some other website that i looked they sell the TA-1052 variant which is for China/Taiwan market. Or mostly they sell the Single SIM variant.
Do you know where i can find the TA-1004 Dual SIM version ?
Thanks !
Nokia official shop. I just bought one

In most of the EU countries dual sim is available from Nokia directly or major resellers. Just order it online.
Unfortunately in Cyprus there is no Nokia official shop here and the reseller is going to bring only the Single SIM version.
In Greece which i'm also searching most of them they have the Single SIM version, some others that the list a Dual SIM version they mention the TA-1052 variant which is meant for the Chinese market
If you can suggest a website it would be great because so far only the Single SIM i'm finding...
Edit: And also if if i find a Dual SIM model they only have it in Steel color and not in Tempered Blue which i'm looking for.
I can not specify a known and valid online shop in EU which would send abroad. Amazon maybe?
I bought mine in PL, but dual sim tempered blue is easy available in other EU countries like Germany, Netherlands, Belgium etc.
Dunno if it helps you but I got my dual sim tempered blue nokia 8 from amazon india website. I am from India and the model i am holding( in fact typing this message) is a "Made in India" Nokia 8 model.
Just for your info.
They are for sale on amazon.es (Spain) not sure if they ship to Cyprus though.
Finally i found it through ebay (Germany) and bought at lower price than Cyprus and already received it...
Thanks for your help and suggestions !

Who sells duel sim p20 pro on contract?

Want to i purchasing P20 pro on contract apart from 3 is there any other retailers that sell duel SIM phones
In what country? The UK? Western networks hate dual sim phones as they go against their very business model, which is the reason why dual sim versions of flagship models are practically never sold in Western Europe or the US, but typically have to be sourced from the UAE, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, etc.
You may try online stores like Handtec or Clove, but I doubt networks would sell you a dual sim version. In the UK, EE and Vodafone only sell the single sim (I have asked their tech support). Are you sure Three sells the dual sim? Would that be the L29 variant? Have you asked them or seen it in a store?
Three UK sells dual sim, I ve got one.

And they are the only in the UK. I have done the research, called all providers
@qwerty1q, do you know of any UK or Western European store, other than clove.co.uk (and strangers on ebay or amazon...) that sell the dual sim version?

Hybrid Sim (i.e. supports dual sim operation) availability in UK?

Hi,
Does anyone know whether the Nokia 8 john Lewis sells supports dual sim, or know anywhere else that sells a dual sim supporting model in the UK?
Thanks
For anyone else looking for a UK Dual Sim model, they're almost impossible to find. The BT Shop lists them at £521 (yes £220 more than most places currently list the single sim ) but I couldn't find them elsewhere. Plenty of grey imports on Amazon, and ebay has the usual sellers importing the Asian market version from China but trying to pretend they're based elsewhere, with the usual warranty risks. I went with purchasing an EU model from Clove - they're slightly dearer than the UK single sim versions, but not too bad. I'm guessing pressure from UK network providers is why we largely get single sim versions. Probably not a big issue for folks who live and work in one place, but I've yet to find a network provider who offers consistently good data coverage across Kent.
I looked at the 7 plus as an alternative (surprisingly hard to choose between the two) but I think the Nokia 8 still has the edge and Dual Sim versions of the 7 Plus aren't any easier to find in the UK.

Question Region locking?

Just got my S21 Ultra from Amazon Germany. (I have to have dual SIM and HK version does not work in one of the countries I visit regularly). It does not have the usual sticker about having to make a 5 minute call with a European SIM to unlock it. Has Samsung abandoned the region-locking? I had not heard that anywhere.
I can only confirm that the HK version 9910 is dual SIM enabled and both work perfectly, if this helps you.

Question Dual Sim HELP

Needing a dual SIM phone for one of my clients. He is coming from an 8T. He bought an Unlocked 10 Pro from the US OnePlus website only to realize it is single sim. A quick search shows the international version has dual sim support Checking on Amazon I see both an international version and a Chinese version? The Chinese version also sells for about $200 less. I searched and could find very little about each phone working in the US. Are both these phones International and Chinese the same phone? Both dual SIM? Both have the same bands? If I purchase the Chinese version will I need to flash with a global or US rom?
Any drawbacks to having either phone in the US?
Thanks

I'm in the UK and have the NE2213 which is essentially the global version.
Personal I'd avoid the Chinese version but that's me
You can change region but I'd rather pay the money and get the real deal.
Warranty is going to he an issue, unless you're buying it from Amazon.
As far I've read the EU / NE2213 should work as expected for what you want.
Have a google for what signal bands are required for the sins you're going to be using , it should still work but best to verify
me too bought USA version and later found that its single sim 2215. I converted to 2211 and enable dual sim support, added second imei, inserted dual sim tray as well but no matter what second imei is always null and second sim never detected.
