Is that even possible? I was looking at this listing for a replacement Dual SIM tray:
https://www.etradesupply.com/motoro...-card-tray-double-sim-card-black-grade-s.html
That would certainly stick out in my blush colored G6, for sure. Just wondering if any NA users have tried it.
If the phone supports dual-SIM in the first place, it would come with a dual-SIM tray out-of-the-box. Since it doesn't, it's safe to assume that the dual-SIM tray will be useless, no matter how well it fits in.

Hi,
do you think it's possible to convert a single sim to dual sim, like it is for example with the Moto X Play? Of course the image needs to be adjusted to the smaller flash in the single sim version.
In my country dual sim is only available via non official and expensive dealers.
Cheers

I'm not saying it's definitely not possible, but since u haven't bought it yet and u want a dual sim, my opinion is get an imported one maybe from ebay or somewhere else, not sure if that's much more expensive for u though.
Also single sim only have 32Gb internal storage and dual have 64Gb
If there will be custom roms for this device, does will F8132 (dual) roms work on F8131 (single)? (i mean only with SIM1 working)
Hi all,
I've signed up for a note 9 plan since my new job allows allowance for work mobile. However the sim tray is not hybrid at all(the second sim slot can only for micro sd card) . I've managed to cut the SIM so that it fits into the second slot, however unable to get this to work.
The SIM works fine if it's plugged into sim 1 slot. Has anyone got any solutions to this? Any input would be appreciated

Sounds like you device is of the single-SIM variety.
Even if you bought a dual-SIM Tray to use,it will be of no benefit,you have a single-SIM phone.
Flashing firmware that works on known dual SIM phones will not do it either,many have tried various things,the functionality simply isn't there (presumably a hardware issue,it's simply not there).
FWIW,I tried a dual-SIM Tray on my US (T-Mobile Note 9),& nada. I knew what to expect going in,but,had to quash the slight bit of false hope.
The Exynos single SIM Note 9's are the same.

That's quite disappointing, it was one of the reasons why I got Samsung phone after all..
All of Samsung's Webpage indicates that all note 9s are capable of dual SIM functionality. I guess I should have double checked with Telco to see if they have locked the Dual SIM functionality..
Appreciate your input tho man. Cheers

I've never seen anything stating all Note 9's are capable of Dual-SIM functionality, but, I'm in the US, where Dual-SIM phones are the exception vs the single SIM variety.
The only phone that I'm aware of that has Dual-SIM capabilities, but, ships with both Single-Sim and Dual-SIM firmwares is the OnePlus 6T.
You could try a Dual-SIM tray & flashing a SIM-Free firmware that's known to work on Dual-SIM phones to find out with certainty.
The trays are cheap enough, I got mine from eBay for less than $10 USD.
I hope I'm proven wrong, but honesty, I'd keep my expectations low.
Please keep us posted on your outcome.
Basically, that's my question. Other posts talk about the hybrid version but I need the one where I can use two SIMs and the microSD at the same time. I know it exists, according to LG and GSMarena, but I can't find it to buy. It looks like the Australian version MAY be dual SIM plus dedicated microSD, although I haven't had that confirmed, but so far I haven't been able to find an Australian shop that ships to the US.
Anyone know where I can get one? Ebay hasn't been any help either.
There isn't one. The AU/NZ version is hybrid dual SIM too.
Global Dual SIM versions are all LM-V405EBW.
Thanks. OK, I'm going to have to give up on the V40. If I really want the dual SIM plus microSD, I'm going to have to look closely at the new Asus Zenfone 6. Only LCD and no wifi but life is full of having to make difficult choices.
I'm thinking of buying an S10 plus from CEX here in the UK, I've noticed their dual SIM models are £10 cheaper than the single SIM model, I'm wondering why? It seems odd you're paying less for potentially more functionality, I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious here haha. I take it most ROMs will work fine with the DS variant?
Hi All,
I just returned empty handed from the Samsung store at the mall. I wanted to pick up the Samsung s20 FE dual sim. I need dual sim. I was told by the sales person that they only carry the single sim in the store. I asked him if he could pop the sim tray from a sample s20 FE and showed me that it only tales a sim and a SD card. Then he said that you can only get dual sim when ordering online.
I just when online and don't see a dual sim option.
So is it true that Samsung makes single sim models and a dual sim model?
Thanks in advance for your response.

Yes, it's true. When you say you went online and didn't see a dual-SIM option, do you mean you went to Samsung USA (as it appears you're located in the States)? Samsung USA (or anywhere in North America) doesn't offer a dual-SIM model. What the sales rep meant was you have to go online to buy an international, dual-SIM variant of the S20 FE, of which there are several.

Thanks for the reply looks like I will have to start looking at Oneplus again because I already have a dual sim setup on my oneplus 6t works excellent but wanted something with better camera and able to record calls.
I already tried the Pixel 5 or about 2 weeks but had to return due to all the short coming on dual sim. I was not able to set a separate ring tone for each sim and there is not way to setup call record.
So I'll keep looking for solutions.

I actually quite like Samsung's dual-SIM phones - partly because I am used to Samsung's ecosystem, and partly because of their dual-SIM features. I currently have a dual-SIM S9+, and I plan to get a dual-SIM S20 FE myself. I don't think any of them have native call recording though - but of course there are apps for that.
